Definitely not an expert, but have a look at the ASOS website. The runway videos of the pieces give you a clear idea of how they look when worn.
Returns are free, or you can use the shapes you like when you go shopping in real life!

I would try Asos, HoF and John Lewis,

This Asos looks flattering.

this is quite beautiful if your work environment is not formal

this is slightly dressier and very easy to wear

this sort of thing can look very elegant with jewelled flats

GenevaMaybe · 23/11/2015 14:28

super comfy and nice with plaques and ankle boots

Wrap dresses hide stomach area as do rouching.

I'm 5,7 & 14/16 so they do pass nicely
All in my cupboard.
Pollensa is nice, can do with lower shoes.or loradi.
Alva scuba is good I got the green version.

Phase eight Joanie floral print dress is nice too. Buy a smaller size, I got a 12.
