That green dress is beautiful! Any ideas for tops for young (low 20s) 5'2"? I am large busted (think uk sizes h-I) narrow waist, full upper arms? Any puffy sleeve or loose top makes me look 50 lbs heavier. I try to cut sleeves off and wear shells underneath dresses to slim my arms. I can barely squeeze into the narrow upper arms of many shirts and dresses.

Can you post links to maternity look dresses you bought?

I just posted some excellent skirts that are very very flattering that I bought from shein on the other current thread (that OP is looking for a tiered skirt, xl). I'm a size 10/12 and I bought a ton of skirts this month, and kept 10 excellent ones.

Check out Simons.ca. I bought a shirt dress and a polkadot dress . I actually tried on at least 5 dresses and I had a hard time choosing . All 5 dresses looked good. Can't post a link since I haven't figured out how to do it.

I’m also having trouble with dressy tops as they are mostly the loose fitting or very waisted styles. For everyday I’m really loving the ribbed shirts and skirts sets they are selling in a lot of loungewear and regular clothing stores. There are many different styles and they are flattering and comfortable

In having trouble with skirts - my belly sticks out and then, sticks out even more when I get bloated which is a frequent issue. I don’t like the loose look because I don’t want people thinking I’m pregnant, but I find skirt waists so difficult because they press on my belly.
Anyone in the same boat? Any ideas?
Currently I mostly wear the soft fold over waist band skirts.

OMG amother Oak, yes! Tummy issues are huge here! lol no pun intended.

My youngest is 7 so I've decided I don't care if someone looks at my belly they can wonder all they wish. I'd rather not wear tight clothes that make me look huge, I just wear looser things.

I bought this gap skirt thats really comfortable - its actually really similar to the foldover style you mentioned. https://www.gap.com/browse/pro.....ntent

I've also liked the Simondana skirts, somehow they're more flattering to my shape.

Thank you so much Burgandy! It looks great!
What’s the other brand you mentioned? Can I find those online?

Eshakti.com
They customize it to be tznius (no, it's not Jewish)-- neck (I just put an order in and they're even making the neck an inch higher than their highest neckline just for me!), Sleeves, skirt length. You can order a size or a custom size in your measurements. I have one dress and I just ordered a second one. Better prices than the Nordstrom links. Customization is $10 but it's free for the first 3 times you do it.

I finally have a dress that fits me!

If you or anyone is interested, post under your SN. If I refer you, we both get $25 off an order. I would pm you for us to work it out.

I don't really know anymore than you do! I'm not going to post the dress that I ordered because I don't want people seeing my posts and then knowing where my dress came from but just browse through.

Maybe other posters can weigh in.
