I'm thinking of retiring from jeans. Please help.

[SherlockKnomes]

So I am curvy with a big bust and big bottom and a comparitively little waist I'm somewhere between a 12/14, jeans has always given me a bit of a muffin top but now I have a little post baby belly I've started to loath them. I'm always having to hoik them up as they slip down, I never feel comfortable in them so I QUIT!!! I want to wear dresses, nice comfy day dresses that accentuate my curvy-ness in a good way, so anyone got any suggestions for a jeans free life?

iheart I am cute...with irony. Obviously.

Yes the stuff from Joy fits so beautifully, is defnitely going to be regularly visited!

Sherlock, you are norty. I have the desire but not the cash to buy all of Joys lovely dresses and seeing you model them is making me want to shop there too! They are lovely!

I especially want this one

Sherlock Joy dressess are fantastic! I'll just get my account details so you all know where to send your donations.....lol.

They have SO seen this thread

Right I really really can't buy any more dresses....nearly didn't have enough money for my Sainsbury's online shop, DH looked at me like this . Am bad, bad wife & mother. On the upside I have a hospital appointment today that I'm really dreading but I shall wear my pretty Joy frock and cardi and they shall be bearable!

Sherlock - you look fab! Hope your appointment goes ok.

This arrived this morning and I really like it, although their sizes seem massive and I need a 12. Which is ridiculous, because I am very not a 12.

Good luck, Sherlock. Right, debit card....ASOS website............I may be some time.

Can I say the Topshop 'flippy' dress aka this,

dress&pageSize=20 flippy dress

is rockin. And its only £15. Good fabric, flattering, easy to accesorize. I know its Topshop, like where teenagers shop, but anyone could wear this. Comes in black, red or navy.

I very nearly bought one of those yesterday! Chickened out because it it's seam waisted and my waist is a lot lower than most peoples' (stupid long body). I thought it might look a bit out of proportion on me.

Bargain though! How short on you is it?

Its about mid thigh, I'm 5'7. The seam is about 2" below my bust, then it sort of flows over my stomach. I got it in a 12 cos its stretch, normally a 14.

butterfinger - I like that dress think I might get it in the washed rose as a change from black which I normally wear.

Have you seen a black cardigan that would go with it? I don't think the general public are quite ready to be dazzled by my winter skin tone...

Hmmm....rather disappointed by the ASOS dresses, I have to say. Found this Fat Face dress on the JL website, reduced to £20. It's still full price on the FF website, so if you like it, go to JL rather than FF. I can't decide if I love it enough to buy, but it is a bargain.

Yeah I'm sending a dress back to ASOS, the quality just didn't match the price (£45). Got my eye on a few from ebay though.

Kaumana, why not try a cream/ecru coloured cardigan, a bit brighter for spring and pretty much does go with everything like black does? I'm wearing mine with a denim jacket. I can't do bare arms either, unless really tanned, my upper arms are not my best feature (chunky from carrying my DC).

I just ordered four from the dotty p sale. Put in DPVOFFER20 at the check out too, to get a further 20% off and £1 delivery. 4 dresses = 42.50

whoop!

May I join? I am 5'4 size 10/12/14 but have huge (32K) BF'ing norks. I am very pale so bare legs an ishoo. Also have a pot belly that I'm working on.
Please help. I have been 'told' to wear A line/ v-neck by dressipi. Love the seagull one from fatface Issimma linked to way down/up thread. I also found
this one which might work ok for BF'ing? I can see myself with a little red cardi over it.....

butterfingerz so I am not as tall as you - do you really believe anyone can carry off that topshop dress? My body is short in comparison to my legs (so I am not a person who can wear a belt on my waist as the distance between my knockers and my waist is very little!). I love the price and it nice and simple.

Madame I am off to DP NOW - what bargains!

size 12/14 with big norks - this is the place for you twit love that fat face one - could work for bf-ing, I too am breast feeding and the advantage of big norks is they are more...malleable and less stationery for wangling them out of clothing iyswim. mmm lets all pause for a minute and dwell on Sherlocks sexy retractable norks. So what did we all buy in the asos sale??

I dunno I find wrangling my enormous boobs a bit awkward
I am also wondering about this although obviously I'd have to try with tights/leggings if long enough in real life. And a vest. And a cardigan. And ankle boots or converse. I like these or these

Welcome Twit! That seagull dress is awesome and now I want it - sadly I have spent all my budget and more .

this arrived yesterday and it is supergorgeous and looks quite casual on, which I was hoping for. Just not quite warm enough yet - I don't think the colour will work with leggings or tights will it?

An fully jazzed about £15 top shop number. Will have to get over my fear of going into top shop though. It's for skinnier, more stylish than I sorts.

I have ordered Burgundy, blue collar, purple and black patterned.

I am nervous of a print. Actually, am nervous of a dress, but in for a penny.
