Please give me advice on styling my shape

After yet another failed shopping trip, I really need some help. I have a massive 'mum tum', which starts under my boobs - so i look properly pregnant - and all the dresses I try on really seem to accentuate my under-boob 'shelf'. I also have big boobs and wide shoulders, so often look like a man in drag in dresses. I'm otherwise pretty slim.

Does anyone else have this problem? Can you advise me what shape of dress would suit me? I already know to steer clear of high necklines which do me no favours at all. Oh, and midi or maxi is a must as I'm not a fan of showing my white, veiny legs.

I sound like such a catch, don't I?

Ahhh....The figure known as "circle" I have that shape. For dresses I find the 40's tea dress style, where the flare starts from just under your bust works.

blue
pinstriped
I've also had many compliments with this dress

Sadly, I'm also the same shape Sad

Tried to post pictures of 3 dresses I bought today but Mumsnet tells me I've exceeded my daily limit!

If you look on my post "casual summer dresses" the dresses are in there. I'm hoping the dresses hide my post pregnancy middle bit.

Hi both, thanks so much - look like some great options there!
