Help!! I feel so dumpy and frumpy

I'm 31 and a size 16-18 with huge boobs (34GG) and I live in leggings and stretchy A-line type dresses with boots and feel likeI've totally lost my sense of style and can never find anything I really like. When I was a size 14 pre relationship and baby I had a policy of only buying things I loved and now I just buy things that will do and it's depressing.

I just don't feel confident in what I'm wearing most of the time. Ideally I'd like to be able to find clothes that pull me in around what there is of my waist and hide the post baby pouches. Nothing too revealing of my boobs but that won't squish them too much either (sadly pepperberry doesn't really do anything for me). I always had a fondness of tea dresses, flippy skirts, polka dots, dark or strong colours-mostly indie maybe slightly gothy style.

Can anyone suggest styles or shops to try?

On the Zalando website, there is a range called Ulla Popken. I have never tried that range before, but I quite fancy some of their stuff. They do free delivery and returns too.

It does look like it has some decent basics especially for bottoms. Oddly that is where I struggle most. The boobs and tummy are an issue but i have quite narrow shoulders so anything bigger than a 14-16 can look odd, though my bottom half is most definitely an 18 at the moment

And free delivery and returns are a bonus too. Thank you for the suggestion
