I don't know how to dress for my body shape

Literally this! Nothing suits me!! I am an Apple shape, size 14 (trying to skim down) small boobs, large tummy, thin legs quite a broad back. I have violin hips or 'hip dips' too just to add more depression into the mix. So because of all of this nothing looks right on me!

•Trousers are tight round waist baggy round bum
•Dress make my belly huge
•Anything with a belt round waist just is awful on me.

Help me get dressed 😓

I recently spent a bit of time working out my Kibbe body type after seeing it on a thread on here. It really helped and as I was reading through the recommendations so many things made sense about what I feel comfortable and what looks good on me. Suddenly thought ohhh…that’s why I always get compliments in that dress etc. Took about an hour to figure out the test etc but worth it.

@tortoiseshellsub there was a threat n here the other day re kibbe types. I'd done the test ages ago, found it quite tricky to get my head around then this week after that thread have looked again.

It's hard but interesting. Not obvious and doesn't help you 'hide' flaws as such. More working with what you've got. I can't decide in I am a romantic or a soft classic and am a plus size so need to work with that.

Am collating some stuff to try via vinted
