So for a long time e.g. at least ten years I have lived in trousers. DS has never seen me in anything else! I am a true apple and am Jan the process of losing weight - nearly three stone but about another five to go true heffer I have quite bad psoriasis on my legs which is improving and would really like to think about skirts/dresses I could wear with thick tights (skin isn't ready for daylight yet).

I am 5'8 and approx size 20 at the moment - dont want to spend a fortune tho as still losing weight. Help!!!

Is it for a special occasion? Or everyday wear? Congratulations on your weight loss, that's brilliant!

Well bloody done loflo!
I am an apple too.
You'll be wanting empire line v neck with slightly flared skirt to balance top half.
Avoid any waist enhancing items that will cut you in half

Sorry that's the Crepe Button detail dress- blimmin iPhone indeed

this is quite draped and 'cos it's fitted under the bust will still add some shape?

The other alternative is A-line dresses (can be very flattering).

Aw thank you lovely ladies - no special occasion just for me Smile (cos I'm worth it!)
