flattering or not?? Hush Tara dress

[calistaraines]

Trying to decide if I should send back or not??

That dress is terrible for Apple shapes.

Empire dresses just make me look pregnant!!

Oh gosh, that's really sacky looking, does you no favours at all.
you need something a little shorter possibly, and more fitted to your figure.

You do not look pregnant and the maternity comment was just to be mean I'm sure...ignore it. You look lovely, but don't like the dress xx

It looks totally different in the two pictures . I like it from the front, and looking black. The side picture looks grey. I think you're a 10 - 12 and have nice legs.

Are you really asking "flattering or not?" ?

Surely you can't be.

You mean "OMG this is the most unflattering dress in the world", don't you?

You do not look pregnant and the maternity comment was just to be mean I'm sure...ignore it.

Sorry but I thought the OP did look pregnant in the first photo, my first thought was if she was then the dress was fine, but if not then no.

That's the thing whatever I wear I always look pregnant. I am not!
My 'baby ' is 7!!!!

I appreciate all your opinions.

How can I lose this tummy!!!!

I'm the owner of a fairly sizeable tummy and I tend to wear a lot of dresses which fit at my waist or underbust but then flair out. Anything which is tight under my stomach us ghastly whereas with a flared skirt it looks like skirt!

Fit and flare, skater dresses, fifties esque cuts work. There's a lot of shirt dresses about just now, some are ghastly as they're very fitted but there's some with a belted waist and then fairly full skirt which work for me

It's OK from the front, but nothing special, terrible sideways on.

I had a tummy throughout my twenties, lost it through weekly pilates - after dc1 the muscle memory meant it pinged back in about a week.

im an apple and love a bit of draping on a dress like this hush dress
