Dress for July wedding to hide big stomach

Hi,

I'm hoping I can get some advice about what to wear to my SIL's wedding in July.

I have put on quite a lot of weight recently mostly around my stomach and I don't have a clue how to dress to flatter this shape.

Apart from my stomach I have fairly big boobs and hips (used to be an hour glass shape). I am mid thirties. I have quite shapely calves so happy to show a little bit of leg.

Any help much appreciated. x

Go to Phase Eight! Lots of beautiful dresses in the "prom" style with fitted top and flared skirt, hides tummies perfectly.

I have a bit of a tummy and wore one to a wedding earlier this year, it looked great if I do say so myself!

This is the one I wore

I have a huge tummy and wore this in a size 16 to a recent family wedding.

Oh, thank you so much for the recommendation for Phase eight, I love all those dresses.

I really like the River Island one too, in fact I might have a trip to the shops tomorrow. Smile
