Help - difficult shape to dress!

Hello,

Really looking for some inspiration so I don't end up feeling rubbish about myself before I even make it out!

I have a work night out this weekend. Think 'jeans and a nice top' but open to a casual dress too. However I have a difficult shape to dress. I'm 5'2 and a 16-18 - big hips bum and thighs, a tummy, and big boobs. When I'm slim it balances out quite well and I look curvy, but I feel like I just look OTT in everything especially being quite short!

Desperately don't want to look like the frumpy 36 year old mum I currently feel like! Ideally would look like a cool rock chick - we can all dream...

Would really like to disguise my tummy if poss. Does anyone have a holy grail?!

flattering neckline/shape for big boobs and stomach, print will disguise lumps and bumps to an extent, would look great with DMs or tennis shoes, and some big earrings and bangles… it’s going to be boiling this weekend unless you’re far up north so don’t be tempted to cover up in jumpers etc!

This one could be flattering too and it’s a beautiful colour 😍

This is good for skimming the stomach area, I like the styling with the red lipstick and gold accessories, could look quite Mediterranean and summer-glam 😃

Oh thank you! @DasAlteLeid I like those M&S dresses - hadn't even looked there! The third dress is one that I think would look like too much fabric on me. @asparalite I love the one you posted but again, and I think it's because I'm short and big boobed, I think it would look like 'too much' material.

Thanks so much for the links both!

What about a cream sleeveless blazer over black skinny jeans and a black longline drapey cami?

When I think rock chick I always think Allsaints, maybe look there for some inspiration?
