Help me find a dress!

I seem to have lost all sense of style since giving birth 2 months ago, as well as the ability to make a decision- please help me!

I need a dress that is smart/ smart casual , but not party for the Christmas period- mostly for family events, because my social life has also vanished! Smile I'm a short arse, 5'3, and am currently a size 16. I used to be a pear shape, but now I've got boobs and belly, so I'm mostly made of lumps! I'm exclusively breast feeding, so need something either designed for nursing, or easy to wap my baps out of!

I think a wrap dress would be the best choice, maybe lace to dress it up a bit. Nothing too short (lumpy legs) or full length (too short to pull off). Asos have a nice one but they seem to believe a size 14 pregnant person/ nursing mother is XL, so I'm too fat for it Blush

Don't want to spend a fortune, as it's early days, and I'll hopefully lose another 2 stone and not fit the dress for too long, but up to about £60 is fine.... payment in Gin for anyone who manages what I'm beginning to think is a lost cause!

I like this in the green but it's also available in black.

Bollocks, sorry I didn't see that only small sizes were left.

This is nice, and a bargain price.

Thanks! They’re both lovely! The first one is exactly what I have in mind, but I don’t think I can get down to a size 6 in a month! Grin
I’ve lost 2 stone so far (was sick the whole pregnancy and needed constant carbs to settle my stomach), so I reckon if I work on my diet I could drop a size for Christmas, which would massively increase my options.

There's a few in here - most seem to be v neck with large sleeves as the fashion

All look easy to wear and some are jersey so wear well

Oh wow... I LOVE almost everything in that website! Will order a few pieces when I get up properly. I’m feeling much more enthusiastic about holiday season now!
