Professional wear when you are short fat and late 40s

Hour glass/pear shape sort of but a lot of weight on my lower tummy (I believe the youth charmingly call my fupa). Very short waisted size 18.

Prefer no heels but can manage a heeled boot.

I don't need like city lawyer smart but upper end of business casual.

The easy option I know would be trousers, smart tshirt-y top/jumper and a blazer and this is ok but my shape means trousers if any type are not my best as big thighs meet fat lower tum in a triangle of splodge. Loose tops to cover this then make me shapeless.

What I'd really like are some midi length jersey dresses (preferably wrap) in plain colours that I can wear with a block heeled knee length boot. Comfy, smart enough etc. however I think this is so old fashioned.

Ideas?

Look at the Jennifer Anne website. Not cheap but they look good quality.
