Shirt dresses a nono with a post CS tum I think.

Am size 14- 16, small waist, big butt, aforementioned tummy issue. 5'6'. Look alarming in jeans.

Used to have a nice line in funky day-to-evening wear for work but none of it suitable for looking after a toddler in. Sold it all on ebay so have some £ to spend.

What should i get?

Ooh yes you are right a line no good

I do have one or two a lineish one that are good, but they fitted and flares on the hips so is fine. Actually so not a line at all! I cant' wait for all these aline skirts to bugger off!

Will go into mourning for loss of long boots in summer, they are great for my calves. I mean they are not super super muscly but not slender either.

TBH in the summer I tend to wear linen trousers most of the time.

Tell you what does look good (though as usual M&S photographers make it look awful) is \link{http://www.marksandspencer.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=2651&Product_Id=1910444\this} the drop waisted tie and buckle really detract from my apple and the pattern covers lumps and bumps. Fab with long brown boots

I have a long torso and short legs too so a lot of things too short for me, plus have c section tummy issue too.

God I sound repellant!

In the winter I wear high pointy boots at work

In the summer I'm afraid I am mrs comfort and generally wear birenstocks!

I am in process of losing weight need to get back to a 12 or even a proper 14 would be good (can still squeeze into some!)
