6' tall (problem #1)
Size 24-26 (problem #2)
Strange body shape (problem #3)

Help!

Need a smart casual outfit for an informal gathering.

I have a strange body shape after significant weight loss but then having put about half back on again. As a result weight is carried on lower abdomen/hips/bum.

I don't do dresses although I'm tall enough that something like a skater dress with leggings would look like a long top. I also hate the tops of my arms (bingo wings big enough that I'd take off in a strong gust of wind) so sleeveless is out.

Help!!

How old are you?

Have you looked at ASOS?

Have you tried Pinterest?

If you want trousers simply be (some of their long legs come up very long, so you may have to order a few to find some long enough for you).

For a dress this should work

I'm 5'10 and this finishes an inch or two below my knees. It also has just the right fit and flare to show a waist but skims over the stomach and hips hiding the problem areas.

For both of those you'll want 1-2 sizes larger than you'd need in supermarkets and Evans type places.
