I know boden is derided on here, but can anyone point me in the direction of a dress that looks great on size 16?

I've suddenly gone up from a neat 14 to a very full 16, and it seems to have made a big difference to my shape, I can't seem to feel happy in the wrap and other dresses I've always relied on to feel put together at work.

I realise part of this is my health, self perception, chronic pain etc., but god I'd feel better in a decent outfit!

[quote Lizzie523]Believe it or not OP, I've just bought 4 lovely dresses from Mountain Warehouse. The 14 is more generous than most and I'm between that and 16 just now.

I bought a beautiful yellow wrap dress as well which isn't on the site, maybe they only have some options on there: www.mountainwarehouse.com/womens/dresses/[/quote]
This has been an expensive thread for me I've just ordered three dresses from Mountain Warehouse!

Ooh thank you lovely vipers, I’m having a great time looking at all this stuff. Unfortunately I seem to always choose things that are out of stock - I guess I’m not being the most original!

The Roberta dress - really? I have found that dresses with a waistline like that tend to fit really badly, and emphasize the weight. But I am getting sick of wearing loose-fitting Cos dresses. Should I really give it a go?

I've never been fat in my life until recently and I just do not know how to dress any more.

@financialhelpneeded The Roberta really works for me. Maybe it depends on the height of our waist and where we carry our weight?
