Look dreadful from the side...tell me what to wear please!

So...I'm 5'3''. I'm a size 14. I'm currently trying to lose weight but am not massively unhappy with my body....I have decent legs, a waist, biggish bust...unfortunately I have weight on my stomach.

Now looking at myself straight on in the mirror, I look ok. I go in and out in all the right places...I'm not slim, but I don't look huge. Clothes look nice....until...I turn and look at my side view. Shock Because I have weight on my stomach as soon as I look at myself sideways on, I look dreadful.

I have actually seen women far bigger than me who look far better in clothes than me, because of how their weight is distributed.

I look particularly awful sideways on in dresses...which is rubbish in this weather.

Does anyone else have this problem and what do you wear?!

Thanks for all the tips and advice!

I'm definitely trying with my diet...the hot weather is great motivation and also makes it easier to eat healthily. I don't eat especially badly...I don't drink alcohol or fizzy drinks, never have takeaways...sadly, my vice is chocolate and coffee! Sugar is definitely bad for the waistline! I am drinking lots of green tea though and have a ton of fruit and veg in the house!

@notangelinajolie those dresses are all sold out! I should have ordered one when I first saw them recommended on Mumsnet!
