Find me a dress

[Trifle66]

Hi I need help finding a dress or outfit. My body has Changed since menopause and I’m just covering myself up now. I love clothes but don’t know what suits me anymore. I used to be a petite slim pear shape. But I’ve put on weight ans have gone from a size 8 to an 12 on top and an 14 on the bottom. and now have a big belly as well as hips. I’m 59. Can anyone suggest something.

What is your actual height? I’m 5’3 and have never worn petite ranges (long-ish limbs and broad shoulders and prefer voluminous cuts anyway) but for someone of just 5ft it might be a different matter.

Also, what’s your maximum budget? Do you buy new from shops / online or prefer pre-owned?

If it’s for a specific event (what?) do you want something that can be incorporated into your wardrobe? If not, might renting be a better option?

(I’m mid-60s and like Zara and Zimmerman for dresses and have bought from both this year.)

What’s the occassion?

I’m 5’2 . I am looking for both going out for dinner type event and work. Trying to work out what looks best on me now

I know lots of people with those proportions. Have a look at Cos, their dresses make anyone look cool:
