I start a new job next week.
I am a size 18 with big tummy and need some new flattering smart / casual dresses to wear with boots / cardi . My workplace is fairly casual so I don't need jackets / smart.
I have trawled a few websites and can't seem to find much I like .
I am losing weight (gone from a 26 to current size ) so don't want to spend a lot.

Any ideas ? I am hopeless as was very fat for a long time so am not used to being a more 'normal' size.

Dorothy Perkins and asos. M&S swing dresses too. Amazing effort on your weight loss.

Have you had a look at the ShopStyle website? There is also an app.

You can put a style of clothing in, and filter it down according to size, price, colour, etc, and it comes up with items from loads of different online shops.

I wear a lot of jersey skater dresses for work, and tunic-y sorts of things, with tights and boots foe work. Such an easy way to dress. No need for matching things, just pull it over your head, and you're done!

Being an 18 is better than a 26 for clothes and a lot lot cheaper
