Is it actually possible to find a dress to suit a plus size pear shape figure?

An evening dress I mean? Everything is very short or tight on the bottom half or very full/pleated on the bottom half so my arse looks even bigger than normal!

Has anyone found anything recently?

What size are you and what's your budget?

Any favourite colours?

Preferred skirt and sleeve length?

Size 16-18, budget of about £50 but will go higher for something really nice. Need 3/4 to full length sleeves really but can always wear a bolero with a sleeveless dress. Thanks :)

Try Bravissimo. Might be over budget but designed to fit and flatter us ladies with larger bosoooms. I've bought ones with empire lines i.e. under the bust and then ruched bits over my fat had two babies stomach

I'm about your shape and size and bought this which although looks like it would cling actually is really slimming and is a lovely heavy weight for the price.

I swop the belt for different ones and it has taken be for smart work, posh meal out with killer heels and no need to cover up arms so once less thing to think about
