🔍 Choosing Styles That Flatter

  • Wrap & V-neck dresses – Universally flattering; emphasise the bust and define the waist.

  • Empire-line & trapeze silhouettes – Great for mid-section comfort, offering flow and elegance.

  • Structured shirt dresses & tiered floaty styles – Versatile for day-to-night and seasonal wear.

  • Puff sleeves & high-waist midi cuts – Add that fashion-forward edge while enhancing your shape.

  • Quality fabric matters – Pure cotton, stretch blends, textured jerseys, linen etc. breathe and drape beautifully.

Fashion editors highlight that inclusive high-street options like Tesco, Sainsbury’s Tu, George (Asda), Next (up to UK 28) offer budget-friendly, flattering designs with pockets—many shoppers rave about them
