Clothing to hide my stomach please

For years I have been a high waist, skinny jeans and a long jumper person in the winter. Skirts and vest tops or midi summer dresses in the summer. I wear dresses for work every day but I am done with skinny jeans (and I've put on weight around my stomach so even the high waist doesn't hide everything and is less comfy now). So what should someone in her early 40s wear? I'm big busted, so always need a bra, therefore need straps to cover my bra straps. I dont do low cut tops. Until now my go to shops have been in next jeans (and m&s for summer dresses), with lots of tops from next, warehouse and marks). Work dresses come from monsoon and next.
Even when shops open, I won't be going, so needs to be from somewhere with free delivery and free and good returns policy.
Help me know what to wear that will be flattering and will hide my stomach, and where to buy from. I feel lost!

Wrap waist dresses are very flattering

Have of tried bravissimo. They have a clothing range for big busts. Expensive tho but really flattering.

Thanks. Wrap waist tend to be low cut and I don't do low cut, particularly for work where I can't.

Could you not put a black strap top on under a wrap dress? I do and I have a big bust and a bit of a stomach. Other ideas would be a dress with a 50s style shape so it balances out the top half by the kick out at the bottom.

There was a thread recently with a few good ideas www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/4195335-Late-40s-apple-shape-what-on-earth-to-wear-in-the-summer

I do in the winter, but in the summer the extra layer makes it very hot.

I don't think wrap dresses suit me, they look better if you have a slim waist imo

Thanks @ConnieDobbs
