Short, dumpy, houseglass

[Rightleftupdown]

Trying to be more glam. Hair sorted (Covid allowing, roots and stragglers will go in next appt), neutral gel nails done at home, shed loads of water and loads of veg eating means the skin has a bit of a glow so its just the clothes now. 5'1, 14-16, boobs and bum, chunky of thigh and calf. Have boots, trainers, bags and jeans sorted out and now want to expand. I like the pleated skirts but they are not flattering with Covid chunk with my lack of height and Toast, Cos, Hush while lively are just too long. Please help!

Hourglass! Not houseglass

Wrap dresses are really flattering.

I'm not much of a shopper but ASOS has a large range as does silk Fred.

yes I wear wrap top/dresses

I always buy fitted style jackets .. to help show the waist

calf length skirts 🌺

I'm 5' and calf-length/midi skirts or dresses really aren't good on me- completely the wrong length (I'm also an hourglass)
Knee length, or just above the knee is best.

sadly I have fat fat knees 🙄

To be fair I think I’m more of a houseglass these days...

I’m an inch taller than you, also a 14 but not as hourglassy as I was since I had my twins and still have diastatis recti to some extent and the whole shape of my mid body has just changed.

No bloody idea what to wear so following for tips. The item of clothing I own that looks best is a shirt dress with a slightly flared skirt. I think anything shirt waister shape looks good but hard to find ones that look modern.
