Dresses that aren't shapeless sacks?

[CornishGem1975]

Is that asking too much?

The current trend for baggy oversized frocks seems to be last forever. I don't like this style, it just doesn't suit me - it makes me look fatter or even worse, pregnant (as it does for most people I think). I don't want to have to wear a belt with everything to pull in the dress, I just want more flattering dresses with nice nipped-in waistlines.

Does such a thing exist now?

M&co have loads, in fact baggy dresses are in the minority

Not sure we have one of those anywhere nearby

I feel your pain, ordered a load of dresses from next, my kids laughed when I tried them on.

Following!

Following as I can’t find any - I look like a Victorian ghost in most of what is currently on sale.

M and co are online, not sure what the face was for.

I was thinking if there were any stores locally...

I think the tend is here for a while, as it's comfortable and fits (if not suits) all shapes.

It will be like skinny jeans. Loads of people convinced they could never wear them and a decade or more on the same people wondering what on earth they'll ever do without them.

thats the hmm you are an arse face OP not the thinking face 😬
Totally agree with you.
All these god awful huge viscose sack dresses worn with white platform trainers.
Terrible

I have a few Boden ones which are nice. And a couple from UniQlo.

I go for tighter on the bust but a floatier skirt and I don't suit a bodycon type look!!

Oops. I always use that as 'thinking'.

Sorry @goose1964 you're not an arse, I am.

They're so billowy those big tiered dresses. A strong gust of wind and you'd fly out to sea.

Next don't seem to be overly baggy this year. Plenty of dresses with waists.

Hobbs usually have lots of skater style dresses

Seasalt has a few waisted styles.

I've been really impressed with new look of late - in fact I live in fear of it going the same way as so many shops of late

I've just recently bought something nipped in at the waist from Sezane and another from &other stories. I love the shapeless sacks too! They all have their place fat days. But I'm hourglass so I do look like the side of a fridge in the shapeless ones, unless I wear a breast binding type sports bra thing.

Completely agree. They’re going to be around for a loooooong time.

I’ve got this in blue, it’s very flattering, I’ve got a tummy

I also think it’s going to be here for a while as they’re able to convince people they still fit into the same size clothes as they did before lockdown!

Where is it from?

I’ve spent a year getting thin and a year and a half staying thin. And all the stuff in the shops now is baggy sacks; hideous. Boils my piss!
