Skirt styles for size 16-18

[Missingtheedge]

I’m a bit clueless as to what skirt style to try for my size 16-18. I used to be slim but now struggle to find anything that looks ok.

I carry my weight around my stomach and abdomen and hips/bottom and don’t want anything clingy, and it must be a long length as I don’t like my legs either.

I found that skirts are just super unflattering when you're bigger. I was a 16 not long ago and they're bad because they cut you in half and draw attention to the stomach.

A dress is always more flattering.

@FortunesFave I’ve never found dresses suit me either so I was wondering about skirts. Loose fitting dresses make me look bigger and pregnant and fitted ones highlight every roll. Seemed I’m consigned to covering up in trousers all summer seeing as nothing summery is cut right

A-line skirts suit that size although you need to be careful about tops. If you're worried about your waist wear a top with an interesting neckline of a statement necklace. I'm sure no-one is staring at your waist anyway.

Do you have a waist? If so a structured A Line skirt (below the knee) or tulip / paperbag waist skirt looks good. If you don’t have a waist then you need a body skimming skirt with a peplum top.
