Good brands for apple shapes?

I'm planning to have a scout on eBay for some nice quality tops and dresses.

I am a tall, true apple shape, so I do have a waist and high hips, broad shoulders but very big of boob, skinny of leg, bit of a belly. Get it wrong and I end up very matronly or massive all over due to height and big hands and feet - don't I sound GORGEOUS 🤣?!

Anyway, suggestions much appreciated.

Seasalt.

Hmmm I was thinking of something maybe a bit more exciting than Seasalt. But thank you. I do have a couple of things from there which I like.

Hush is generally good for apples. Which is why it has rather taken over my wardrobe these days.

Cos is good for things that skim over the mum tum and there are often one or two good things in Jigsaw - they've got some cool fine knit ponchos in at the moment.

Seasalt.
Seasalt are pretty crap if you’re tall.

I am tall. Their tall jeans are nice and long.

Seasalt have tall options for many of their dresses. I’m 5.10” and they’re ok but any taller than me and I don’t think they’d be long enough. Oasis are pretty good for basics

Came here to say exactly this

Thanks for all of these. Will have a hunt. One of my all time favourite t-shirts was from Hush.

Worthwhile checking the Hush site (and John Lewis) as well as eBay as they are at the tail end of their sale right now with big reductions. Still a lot of nice stuff available - if there’s something you like but your size isn’t there, they put returns up at 12pm every week day.

Another vote for Hush. I'm an apple and hush makes me feel like I'm not! One think I like is that the tops tend to be a good length and width so they cover me well without feeling like I'm wearing a sack.
