I was just reading another thread about jeans for apples, and noticed one person suggested dresses. I am dying to know which style of dresses since Dressipi has let me down and suggested shift dresses, which I know always cling badly around the tummy and make me look fat.
So, here's my question: fellow apple shaped girls, what makes you look great?

I do. WOE. 34F this week in Debenhams.

I really, really thought losing weight would mean I would have a lovely neat C cup or something, but no. From 40H at my biggest to 34 F now, with the added advantage that they now resemble a tennis ball in a sock.

....sorry crunchy, but I loved having big boobs after DD, and I thought they were a very distracting feature in terms of my tummy...
but congrats on having lost so much weight, and I hope the new bra is reducing the tennis ball effect....

I just did a body shape calculator thing and am apparently not an apple at all, but an inverted triangle! Similar issues though.

New bra is providing false advertising in terms of perkiness, which is all one can wish for Grin

32f here and whilst DH is a fan, they are a pain in the arse

32E. I have mixed feelings about them - on the one hand they are a pain and I sometimes wish I had fried eggs so I could go out without wearing a bra.

On the other hand they distract attention from my fat tum, and DP loves them.
