Found this, dunno if it's your style or not but should flatter your size/shape

Peacocks is your friend!

They've got loads of gorgeous fifties style prom dresses which are fantastic for curvier girls and hide your bum and lower half beautifully. You can accessorise really easily - go retro and stick a big flower in your hair. And they are cheap as chips.

Try this one for £15

OMG that is gorgeous, do they sell them instore to? Im just thinking I could try it on in there.

Beware of the bow on that dress, it may draw too much attention to your hips

The bow is an accessory to the shape of the dress. The eye is drawn to the bow because it breaks the line of the dress, and given it's placement it may draw too much attention to the area. On the other hand, it may be ok, it's one of those things you can only really know when you try it on but it's good to bare in mind beforehand.

i seen this dress in peacocks and it wasnt as nice as what I thought, but found one jsut as nice but they didnt have it in my size in the shop so gonna see if they have it online!

Former Member

Glad you found a nice one, hope you can get it online

TBH I didn't look properly at the material, was late, my mistake, I just thought the neckline on it would draw eyes away from hips/bum. Just speaking from experience as someone with a similar body shape, bows don't tend to work, but if they work for others then good

Former Member

they dont have the dress online so its back to square one! Im proper struggling now!
