Lacking inspitaion for a curvy/hourglass figure

Help!

I can do glam quite well, never really struggle for weddings etc as it seems quite simple to find a dress to flatter an hourglass figure, and for real slobbing about i look fine in leggings/vest/trainers; it's in between I struggle!!

I find anything thag isnt very fitted gets frumpy very quickly, and its a real struggle to find trousers that actually fit me well. I'd love to break away from jeans, or find a way to make them a bit dressy for say, a day out or lunch with the girls etc.

Any ideas on 'looks'? Or which brands can flatter a curvier 14 figure w/big boobs?

Tia!

I'm the same shape and size as you and I agree it can be hard to dress sometimes. Being top heavy can either make me look a bit matronly or tarty (for want of a better word!)

For lunch out or similar I might wear jeans, wedges and a wrap top (often with a camisole underneath). I've got some nice tops from Pepperberry but they can be £££.

I'll follow with interest to see what anyone else says!

Not much help but just watching for inspiration too OP. I'm the same as you. Most tops just hang off my boobs as well, which isn't flattering as I do have a waist under there.

Boden Richmond trousers are your friend here!

I buy long leg, because they are cut slightly higher in the rise, and take them up if need be. I dress them up with a shirt and blazer for work, or t shirt and sneakers at the weekend. I have several colours. Curvy 14/16.
