How do I dress my big post C-section body?

[bigishbrenda]

I've managed to loose a couple of stone and hope to loose more but I've reached a plateaux for now and hate my entire wardrobe apart from one dress and one top.

I hope this is allowed, I've drawn out my bum and tum shape and was hoping people could guide me with what clothes I should look for. I'm currently a size 18/16 in leggings, 18/20 in jeans.

Could you post pictures, web links and suggestions of where to shop?

I need a complete change of style.

Bumping...

Following - i didn't have a section but am 10 months post partum and struggling with the same issue. Have been advised to book a John Lewis personal shopper session and sign up to Stitch Fix to start with so might give that a try. In the meantime, i've bought some loose summer dresses with belts from Joules and a couple of Seasalt tiered dresses to see me through the next few months. I feel like it really is time to pack away the maternity leggings now... 😭

I’m a similar shape with the CS apron but a size 14, and I find the Boden Amelie dress immensely flattering. Boden have 25% off at the moment too.

I am 5’7” tall and the long length comes to just below my knee, which I like.

Oooh following with interest!

I've had to change my style too, 2.5 years in and still not comfortable with it.

Dresses where the waist sits a little higher work better for me, like this

Jeans, I go for a high waist mom style, the cut means its not tight on the overhang

Tops are hard, since everything is cropped! But I've just bought some Uniqlo basic t-shirts that are a really nice solid material, so they don't cling, and I wear a denim or linen shirt as an overshirt sometimes.

Thanks everyone, I've booked myself in for a John Lewis stylist session next week 💜

@bigishbrenda let us know what they say/ any tips/ what items they choose. Hope you have fun!
