Please help I am wilting/melting here. I am tall (6ft and plus sized size 22) and due to health issues I am struggling to loose weight and my tummy sticks out. I am also menopausal

Please be kind and recommend me some cool to wear summer dresses (no polyester) and some lightweight cool to
wear summer trousers in a size 22 with at least a 34 inside leg (I have tried M&S and Next to no avail) everywhere’s tall ranges seem to stop at a 20 and in plus sizes (trousers aren’t long enough and dresses are either too short, polyester, the waist is too high and empire line is really unflattering on me or they are so voluminous I look like I am wearing a bell tent).

Thank you

Thanks @declutteringmymind can you recommend any particular items of clothing in particular that you have ordered that worked and you liked also are you similar height and size to me and did you just order your usual size as I find the sizing very hit and miss, really miss the old reviews etc etc (see my update). I ordered a maxi skirt last year and had to take it up by six inches. Some things are absolutely massive and other things fit where they touch. Thanks

Anymore recommendations please I keep seeing people in lovely dresses.

I have just returned some more dresses back to Boden, Long Tall Sally, Next and Brakeburn.
