I need some ideas for the above. I don't want to look frumpy. I have a large bust and I used to be more hourglass but I now have a big tummy. I am 5 5 with short legs size 18-20.

Where are you going? Where do you usually like to shop? Favourite colours? Budget?

I find jumpsuits can be great for disguising a big belly. A v-neck one might suit if you have a large bust? Next have a big online range

I am doing meals out, wine bar, afternoon tea. Probably need more than one outfit!

I’ve not seen it in real life but this is pretty from Next - with a leather or faux fur jacket for cocktails and/or meal? www.next.co.uk/style/su670772/f77870

The Tilly dress on this site are beautiful on all sizes and there are a few colours available.

Next also have satin skirts in different colours, though again I haven’t seen them in person, as it were.

BeBrickPlayer · 15/02/2026 18:58

I was hoping for some more suggestions. Does anyone have any? Thanks

But you didn’t reply to previous suggestions.

Depends on time of year etc too. I have a couple of Scamp and Dude dresses I love, and I’m very similar stature to you. They can be dressed down with trainers or up with heels. More dressy I love Katya Wildman dresses (used to be Bombshell) but much more pricy. Boden also has some quite nice dresses?

Would you wear a midi satin skirt, kitten heel sock boots, matching satin cami and a ruched sleeve blazer?

This is lovely. I’m a 12-14 and often do a satin midi skirt.

BeBrickPlayer · 28/02/2026 12:32

I just can't find anything. My huge tummy and bust are proving a problem. Just not sure where to look.

BeBrickPlayer · 01/03/2026 15:21

Thank you, I am now sorted.
