Work dresses and skirts for size 16-18

[Thisisthepoint]

What styles for work dresses and skirts suit a size 16-18 please? I’m clueless! I carry all my weight around my stomach/abs, hips and bottom. Like my upper arms to be covered up, and at least the length just below the knee.

I’ve always worn trousers to work but I’m wondering about the above. Definitely no wrap dresses or anything made from stretchy jersey as these look hideous, particularly when I sit down and the fat rolls are really obvious

@Thisisthepoint If it helps, I'm the same size and wear my skirts just above my hips otherwise my stomach looks HUGE!

@Snackz thanks for the tip, I will try that. Where do you get your skirts from usually?

@Thisisthepoint I'm a massive charity shop girl but my favourite is a midi skirt from Primark!

I have a skirt from cultural roots,on etsy, I wore it out for the first time and overheard someone saying to their daught, isn't that skirt the lady's wearing pretty. It doesn't mention in the description their has pockets too. It's the one with the elephants.

Most of my work clothes come from Marks as they go up to a 22. You do have to hunt about to find the non frumpy stuff, but it is there.

Mint Velvet go up to an 18 and I have some lovely work clothes from there.

I tend to find dresses suit me better as a skirt cuts me in the middle, drawing the looker’s eye to my worst area.

Despite being overweight I still have a bit of a waist and find shirt dresses that have a belt are the best fit for me.

@goose1964 Thanks for the recommendation! I just had a look on there and want to buy so much!
