Dress help for size 22 big belly.

Hi.

Have a £50 budget for a dress, but I have a big belly and low confidence.

Most things look like maternity dresses on me.

My usual uniform is black leggings and a long baggy top.

I do like this, I need it for Saturday. It's a very short notice wedding.
I work on an ambulance so I definitely won't be able to use it for work!

Go for it OP, that's lovely

Great frock! (It would also make very glamorous ambulance attire!)

Have ordered two dresses to try, both arriving tomorrow! Will update with my choice! Thanks all for your help!

I have several of these and always feel good in them. Dress up and down but if need to dress up I tend to go dark blue or a pink / red dress cardi combination with the most expensive/ good quality jewelery I own. Make hair and makeup light but good and then style it out. Use the spare to buy yourself a new lipstick (or bag)

There were some really lovely metallic bags in primark super cheap recently if you want a bit of shine

Depends how formal it is. You would def wear dress again. (I have worn it at all sizes from 18 to 22 😀 and always feel a stylish in it when feeling a bit frumpy)

Good luck and have fun!!

Ooh just saw you have 2 lovely dresses on the way. Good luck and have a great time

@Boopeedoop that’s a great dress, you look gorgeous. Where was it from?

JellyBeanz77 · 09/01/2023 17:26

Scarlett and Jo is great. Might find something in their sale. I bought one of their dresses for a graduation, and it was well admired! Hope you find something suitable 😃

Boopeedoop · 09/01/2023 17:31

Thank you very much! It was from quiz curve, £25! And it was a generous size 22 as well. I felt really good in it.
