I just tried on all my day dresses from last spring and I am decidedly more lumpy than before.
I am 5ft4 only and everything goes to my hips and buttocks.
Last year I was a size 12, this year size 14.
To be fair all my dresses are size 12 too so they would be better even if they were in the right size!
They are a mixture of fit & flare, tunics, and shift dresses.
I'm short, so can't get away with long dresses in the daytime and I would rather have my shoulders covered
