How to dress big boobs, big belly and big thighs and still look vaguely stylish?

Help please stylish ones. I've got a baby and a small DC. I'm breastfeeding so huge knockers just now. I've always had erm, ample thighs, and now I've got a wobbly post pregnancy daily chocolate belly that ain't shifting just at the moment. So what do I wear? I feel utterly clueless. Pre-baby I liked stuff like Cos and Toast but these days I feel constrained by needing ready boob access AND a small budget.

What shapes would help me look smarter? Cigarette trousers? Jumpsuits? Maxi dresses?

Clueless. Please help (with links if possible!)

Empire line and high waisted dresses and tunics that show off your boobs and shoulders. V neck is your friend. So is any interesting neck line. T shirt is your enemy- badly stuffed cushion effect, sadly.

Tunics that come just below your bum, and are snug at the boob look good.

Basically you need a fitted, neat bust then something that flares down to the thigh. Sheer tops/shirts over slim tanks and leggings can also work.

Mmm, top-half I feel a bit more confident about. But what trousers to avoid the stuffed sausage look? Or no trousers, just skirts etc?

I wear straight wide legged trousers, as my legs are truly tree trunk like. Neat pinned people can wear skinnies and jeggings. I can't. Alternatively a fish tail or tube skirt.

So a bust fitting tunic with straight trousers or skirt. An empire line dress. A fishtail skirt with a fifties style fitted jacket and a top which skims rather than clings hard to find, buy several if you find one!

Gathers need to be just under the bust. Never at the waist or hips.

I'm talking about what works for me, sorry if I sound bossy! I look like a sack of potatoes if I get the fit wrong. Tailored and showy off at the bust and shoulders. A bit of flare down past the hips. Then sleek again.
