Summer dresses for small boobs, fat tummy?

26 replies

MrsMingech · 12/04/2022 13:42

I was hoping to lose a stone by the summer but I don't think it's going to happen thanks to exam/work/essay stress which is being fuelled by coffee and wine.

So until that ends (June, urgh) I need to know how to dress my chubby new shape.

I have non-existent boobs and a fat tummy.

When I Google it, it gives dresses like these that are gathered under the boobs, those shapes make me look pregnant because I have a sticky out tummy and no boobies.

Can anyone help?

Thank you!

Gotta say, I don't think any of the dresses linked to/pictured so far work from my experience.

Wrap dresses tend to be too big on the boobs or to tight on the tummy or both

Shirt dresses have the same problem - you need more boob than waist for them!

Gathered-around-the-boobs still gives the pregnant effect

Loose ones can work, but will swamp you if you're small (like I am), and shorter a-line can be nice but obviously you have to be happy with your legs!

Something like this works:
