help me find this dress shape

Hiya, I'm trying to find casual Spring/Summer dresses that skim over the tummy area at the front but are more fitted/shirred/elasticated or similar at the back so I don't look shapeless. I am not overweight but have a disproportionate tummy so this shape seems to work for me. I'm not sure I am explaining very well, but hopefully someone will come along who can help!

I also had one from Mountain Warehouse, but they don’t seem to have the same style this year

If you have no luck, you could try this hack to make a looser fitting dress fit better.

Have you looked at Apricot? You sound a similar shape to me and I have found a few flattering dresses that are fitted to just below the bust and then skim the tummy area.
