I look fat and lumpen , please help me find a dress

[MrsHowardRoark]

I have a Christmas wedding to attend and the draw code is black tie. I had DD2 9 months ago and I feel huge and lumpy .

I am a 16/18 with 36 FF boobs (still breast feeding) and my bottom half is a size bigger than my top. My thighs are huge and I have cankles. My arms are wobbly. My waist is at least visable. I genuinely can't see anything positive at all when I look in the mirror.

I desperately want to look ok, just not hideous would do tbh. Budget needs as little as possible but could stretch to £100. You guys are really good at this stuff so please help if you can.

Try Anna Scholz. Her sale stuff is brilliant and makes me feel great - I'm much fatter than you! www.annascholz.com/sale-1/georgette-party-sequin-dress-1.html

I recommend some control type underwear - it helps. Sainsbos do some cheap 'pear' knickers- they do give a smoother shape.
I put this on the Autumn colour thread - don't know your colouring is but what about this- red dress, with sleeves?

My colouring is, perhaps, my only saving grace as I'm very pale with dark hair and green eyes. I suit jewel colours so that works at this time of year.

Bit too 'worky' but could hide a multitude of sins...

Bit shiny?

Maybe ask for help on 'Hoc Winter' thread?
They might be good at helping with the correct colour at least.

I love that site Fox, amazing dresses.

I like the gold detail on the Anna Scholtz dress plant sitter but I think I need a bit more shape.

I quite like the shiny one life but it might highlight my baby belly.

Love the colours on those dresses Flossy. I've tried on similar looking gowns and I looked very frumpy.

ASOS Curve has lots and lots of nice dresses.

What about this?

Though don't know if you like a maxi dress?

Or this skater?

Lots of choice over there, worth a look
