Nice summer dresses for apple shapes?

[Bluestofblue]

Anyone seen any nice summer dresses for Apple shapes? I’m late 40s, size 12 to 14, menopausal weight gain not doing wonders for my roundness if km honest!

I always have this problem with finding summer dresses, but this year I want to get in early!

Eg I like this but might make me look like a pudding?

There was a post last week on here about stylish everyday dresses that might be worth looking at as there were a few like that.

I’m a similar shape but anything too long looks crap on me and my legs are ok so I’d rather not cover them up! I’m on the lookout for something just below the knee!

They are lovely dresses but I personally need some sort of sleeve.
Are you tall @Bluestofblue?

@Bluestofblue drop waist dresses are very forgiving for an apple 😊

I have a few from Apricot. They do midi and knee lengths .

I'm an apple and have that Tu dress on its way to me. I think it looks as if it will be pretty flattering

I’m not tall unfortunately - around 5’5 so kind of average height

Ooh excellent! Will you update when it has arrived?

Of course, I am optimistic!

@Selkie33 I’m not sure dropped waists are forgiving of an apple shape. I tried one on lately and it actually accentuated my tum, sadly, whatever way it hung.
Years ago when I was a skinny thing they were lovely on me.

I agree!

Drop waists look awful on me.

I'm apple shaped (and rather tubby), and I need to accentuate my fabulous boobs and my fabulous legs, and just kind of skip over the not so fabulous bit in the middle. Empire line, v or deep square necks, a-line, wrap dresses all work for me. I love Tu dresses, but that high neckline wouldn't work for me.
