I would try this site. Rivky is a trained couture seamstress who has a size inclusive line up to size 22 I think. She is very into dressing for your body shape vs your size.
I am about the same size as you and I find that dresses look much better on me than shirt and skirt unless the shirts are more cropped. I would definitely work on just embracing your curves. And fwiw I think I look great (after having several kids) and don't think I look so overweight. So it's probably mostly just you that thinks you look heavy.
I’m very short- 5 ft
And 140 lbs
The only thing I can wear that I feel is hiding my access weight in a straight black skirt- same style that older women might wear.
I wear the same black skirt ALL the time..
Can you please help me find a weekday dress and a shabbos dress that will hide my stomach and thighs… is that even possible?
I feel so hopeless. I’ve been shopping and shopping and can’t find anything.
I am more pear shaped - 5’4 and 165 lb. For reference, I look pretty thin at 140 because I am very bottom heavy and at that weight I can wear a size small-medium dress, anywhere from size 4-8 depending on dress or skirt style (always bigger for straight or pencil styles). Right now I am a large around an 8-12 depending. I have a few great drawstring waist dresses from Junee that are really nice for me. If you don’t like a cinched waist, go for a-line to accentuate your smaller torso. Don’t get things big on top. That is my advice. I am trying to lose weight but can look pretty good at this weight with the right clothes. Also make sure your bras fit well and maybe get a shaper for tummy and hips. Form fitting is better no matter what your weight. Hiding just looks bigger and you aren’t that big even if you have some fat.

For some reason a lined skirts make my thighs look very big…
