What style/shape of dress to suit my size?

Looking for some dresses on the nicer end of casual that I can wear out for lunches/drinks/days out during the summer. Preferably midi or maxi lengths.

Im a size 22 so shopping on the high street is very limited and I rely on ordering online mainly. My main issues are that I’m very busty (38H) but also have severe ab separation that doesn’t seem to want to improve at all 😔 I feel that I really need a style that has some kind of waist as anything without just hangs off my boobs and makes me look even bigger. But then anything that gathers too much under my boobs makes me look about 6m pregnant because of the ab separation 😔

Can anyone with more dress sense than me tell me what I should be looking for to hopefully make me look nice and feel a bit more confident? Brownie points if you can link any specific examples!

Following. I am smaller that you (currently size 14-16 but short so it really shows) however I have the exact same problems with the boobs and the 6m pregnant belly! It's so hard to find anything flattering. I end up just going oversized and I think that makes me look bigger.

@CandiedPrincess Yeah I feel the exact same way 😔
