I have a flabby tum to hide and no boobs to offset it...

[JudgeRulesNutterButter]

... what kind of dress can I wear to a wedding?

(Posh family wedding, I very much want to go with a dress)

I’m a 10-12. My stomach is flabby and too round (especially since I bloat easily)- every dress I look at to hide a fat tum seems to presume sizeable breasts above it that can be accentuated as a good point. Mine however are flat saggy nothings. What can I wear, anyone out there got any ideas?

Hi! Size 10/12 is so slim! Other people won't see what you do. Good underwear and bra can do a lot. Consider empire line dresses. I heard off the shoulder can also give the impression of a bigger bust. Enjoy the wedding x

I am the exact same and I could have written this post!!!

I'm 36 B, nice legs, chunky flanks and stomach which protrudes further than boobies. I also have huge rib cage thanks the preggo expansion that didnt contract.

I politely disagree and would not do an empire line as this style tends to rely on boobs to create the shape.

It seems unlikely but I have found the wedding outfit formula for me that I thinks suits: fitted/ skimmed but not skin tight (not lump or bump clinging) lower thigh or a few inches above the knee dress with something around the shoulders, like frills and a detail like cap sleeve to try and balance the shape higher up on your body.

i think the extra material around waist coupled with no bust doesn't help, so that's why i choose fitted not thin stretchy fabrics which cling. Also darker colours show less lumps and bumps.

I also think that a bold earring, exciting accessories and make up that suits will help.

dont now your budget i would wear this but i am a navy addict and accessories the shit out of it

New bra with some padding/uplift.

Look up dress shapes that work for Apple shaped body.

No advice but watching with interest as I am the same shape and size.

A line - a wide cut skirt and waisted but loose

Do not wear the tight bottomed clothes posted above! It’ll only accentuate your tum!

Go for a fitted traditional-ish (50s/early 60s style) sleeveless dress with a skirt that naturally flares out from a highish waist, in a fairly sturdy cotton to hide lumps. I'm thinking Dirty Dancing sort of era if that helps That's the only style that seems to work for me since I had kids.

Yes ruffle! That’s what I was trying to describe but not as well as you. Something like this maybe

Generally nothing with a defined waist!

Empire line or slight A line dress with a V neck (assuming you get the new bra). Get a bra that helps make your proportions more "right" aka balanced so a 12 all over sort of thing.

you're getting some conflicting advice i still stand by my earlier post of dont go for loads of extra material around waist/ hips if you are an apple and go for detail at shoulders or around neckline.

wrap dresses do not help my figure either.

No way to wrap dresses I look pregnant in them - like 6 months!

yes, well fitting padded bra helps me feel better too.

Are you wearing the correct sized bra? If not then one that fits properly will help bust look better. Try the guide on boob or bust here

that 2 layer monsoon crane dress is amazing.

Also some kind of Spanx, if it's not too hot! Always makes me feel much better about my shape
