Help, dresses for a size 12 but with a belly.

I've lost 4 stone and I'm now a size 12. I hate my belly and until I get rid of it I want to wear things that hide it and that are flattering.

What style of dresses (casual) would do this?

Fit-and-Flare, if you're straight/columnar shape. :)

Skater dresses are good but whether you would want to wear them is another matter and for going out bandeau dresses are also good for disguising fat tummy. Can you tell I have one? I wish I could afford vaser lipo!

Congratulations on losing four stone too! Star

Ah yes the dreaded skater dress. I love them but I worry I'll look like I'm trying to be 15 again. I'm 27.

I have a very straight figure which is annoying as I think I just look chunky regardless of how much weight I lose Sad

myotherusernameiswittyandgreat - we have the same figure, and I'm a UK12-14. Fit-and-flare and skater work for me. :)

Shift, empire, wrap-around -- these ones just look awful on me.

Oh and congratulations on losing weight! How did you do it and how long did it take?

myotherusernameiswittyandgreat · 25/04/2015 09:55

Thank you Smile I am going to try some dresses on today.

I did it with slimming world. It's taken since May last year. I have another stone to go and I need to get rid of this stomach Sad

Think not thing! Stupid autocorrect.

Something with a tulip shaped bottom, gives illusion of hips and smaller waist. Swear by them.
