Please help me find a day and evening outfit for this weekend, I’m at a loss!

[SinkGirl]

Okay, I’m going out for dinner with my DH this weekend for the first time since our twins arrived nearly two years ago. Also going out with family during the day which is rare so no doubt there’ll be lots of pictures taken. We are having a really tough time at the moment with one of our boys being unwell, and I would like to treat myself to some clothes for my birthday :)

None of my nice pre-pregnancy clothes fit any more as I’m a whale so I’m desperate.

I need:

• a flattering day time outfit (could be a dress or trousers and a top)
• a dress for a casual meal out

I am only 5’2”, size 14 on Top and 16 on the bottom in most places. Medium chest size, big stomach these days (thanks diastasis!), hefty arse and hips, calves are still quite slim. I need some kind of sleeves due to scarring on my upper back. Can be fitted above the waist as long as it then skims my stomach. Or oversized long Top and skinny trousers.

Any ideas for me? I don’t have obscene amounts of money but can spend out a bit.

Please help - I don’t know how to dress myself any more!

Forgot to say, in an ideal world I would like to look classy / polished, if such a thing is possible when you’re short and dumpy ;)

this is gorgeous for a day dress. Really flattering on curves. They have it in red but it’s sold out in a lot of sizes.

I’ve just bought this for a night out which skims and flatters the right bits.

Thank you, I love both of those! The dress is sadly out of stock in my size and probably bit short for day time wear while wrangling twins but will see if I can get one for another time :)

Does the top come low enough to cover your stomach if you wear fitted trousers? I do wish they’d show clothes on different size models!

Ahh no! Can you do a store check? Wonder whether it’s worth keeping an eye on the tall version too if that comes back in stock? It definitely feels more expensive than the price.

I’m 5’8 wth big boobs and the top hits me just on the hip - it’s about the perfect length to tuck in for me, if it was that type of top. So I’d say it would def be long enough. My lower belly (just below my belly button) is my real problem area so I don’t like anything that might show it.

@Sinkgirl I'm following as I'm also short and dumpy and wondering whether it's possible to look classy/polished.
