Which dress shape, if any, with pics

I’m 5’2, dumpy and need new sun dresses for ambling about in, on holiday. Shirts and a vest- shorter shorts- are ok, as legs aren’t too bad, but I like a dress to feel a bit less trussed up, on trips out. And also I’m awful with heat and get hot and sticky very easily. Not nice. I’ve ordered 3 shape to try - are any better/ worse? I’m 14 and big of tummy and hip. Thank you lovely lot. I’m also struggling to get anything too structured on (post dislocated shoulder) so need a bit of give or wide neckline if open - though I’m getting better at hanging upside down and feeding clothes into my straightened arms. Bras still impossible but by holiday I hope to be back in a non stretch one. Grin

I think the third one looks nicest

Last one!

The striped Next one looks best and the material is nice and cool. It comes in petite sizing too and lots of different patterns, why not try some other variations on it?
You have great legs btw.

OP, you can do far better than any of these dresses. The first is the worst, but none of them do anything for you. You have a defined waist and cracking legs Grin
You need something that does you justice, not these shapeless creations that make you look dumpy when you're really not.

God damn. I’ve just ordered the sun warehouse dress. It’s lovely!

You have fantastic legs.

The third one is the best one. First looks like the buttons might fly open, the middle one (or variations of it from Next are everywhere, and actuuI don't feel their shift shape is very flattering).

I like the last one. First has no shape second looks like an ice cream and no waist
