In a size 16 that isn't sleeveless, super clingy or over £30.

They're all sold out.

Anyone seen anything?

Need to know a bit more about the style your looking for - length, shape, neckline etc, but for now, how about this

H&M had some.

That's actually gorgeous but am an apple shape and I'm not sure the high ne k would do me any favours

I do prefer a v neck with some cleavage showing but am open to anything.

I have to order online too x

Oooh that's lovely. I think the wrap stomach would be good for me. Thanks

I think the wrap detail would draw attention to your mid region. Well it would me anyway.

If you don't mind second hand, have a look on vinted.

I was looking for the same thing recently & you can search dresses by size, colour, condition & style. Easier than trawling through shops.

It's all there for you organised nicely to look through.

Fellow Apple shape size 14-16.
Do you have good legs? The phase eight Becca shape dress is lovely and flattering.
Short skirt and blouson style top with 3/4 sleeves. They do it every year so look out on eBay etc. I am searching for a sequin one in a 14.

Facebook was showing red dresses in an advert Roman original I checked they have a good selection

SymbollocksInteractionism · 06/12/2021 18:18
