Help! What shape skirt and dress are good for wide hips ...

and a big flat ass? Crepey and one of the few good features of my body that are left are my legs, so I feel I should show them more.

Any ideas?

TIA

I'd try a good quality pencil skirt? So it will be tighter at the bottom of the skirt and show off your legs knee down and then also be tight at the top pulling in at your waist so it's a focal point and not your hips.
Also if it is good quality it shoudl kind of give you a good bum!

Thats what i'd try anyway. Are you hourglass? cause it would look awesome with a white shirt.
I am hourglass and pencil skirts are the best for me.

I have wide shoulders but no major boobage - don't know if that counts as hourglass?

A line.

50s style with a full skirt and nipped in waist would look good - I have big boobs and big hips and practically live in vintage dresses like this - it's so flattering.

I also second the pencil skirts idea - get some spanx on, a blouse/vest top, a fitted cardi and flats/heels and you will look awesome! Smile

I love 50s and even 40s dresses - but have no idea where to buy them, McFox

Try Dorothy Perkins, they often have really nice dresses for round about the £30/£40 mark. For more high end dresses and amazing quality try 20th Century Foxy. Miss Dixie-Belle in Edinburgh is fab too, and she has a website. Also eBay - so much of my wardrobe is 2nd hand you wouldn't believe it. Arm yourself with some waist cinching belts and you're sorted Smile
