Apple (who all the pies) style help

I’m 5.2 big 12. Early 50s. Apple shape.

Good legs, dodgy mid section and arms. Face (once beautiful) now sliding south.

Once upon a time I was a size 6. I’ve total lost my way about what to wear.

Comfort is my number one priority but I also want to look put together. Can’t bear heels.

I like quirky interesting cuts and textures. Natural fabrics if possible.

What shapes/ styles/ cuts should I go for? Particularly dresses? But tops too.

Help! Thank you

What sort of ‘quirky’?

Casey Casey?

Cawley Studio?

Colenimo?

Horror Vacui?

Klements?

Lemaire?

Pollyanna?

I’m a similar height and size (though older than you) and find I can wear pretty much anything, as long as it fits. If you have a reliable alterations service to hand you can shop with total freedom.

There’s a woman on TikTok who is apple body type and gives great fashion advice.
