This is so flattering and comfortable. I’m one of the DCUM poors but still bought this. I wear it all the time with different purses and accessories, so it looks like a new outfit. I also cover the touched waist with different belts. Wear it so much max it always looks like something new!

Can you post links to dresses you wear/styles that work for your body? I am also an 18 on the bottom and I can never find dresses that look good on me.


Sure. I look for a flared skirt below a defined waist ("fit and flare") and a v-neck if possible. A faux wrap is a good bet. I cannot wear a true wrap, I have too much going on below the waist.

I have this one from Amazon, I wear an XXL: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GHNSYRQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

Fit and flare from Macys, although I don't like the sleeves: https://www.macys.com/shop/product/dkny-twist-sleeve-fit-flare-dress?ID=13837416&CategoryID=5449

Thank you do much for posting this, I could honestly cry. I needed a dress for Saturday and this is perfect. Thank you!! I bought the first one from Amazon.

I just wear linen shorts and a cotton tee or tank. It’s too hot here for anything else. Being fat does not mean I should have to be hotter than every else

Does anyone have recs for plus-size apple shapes (size 18-20)? This would ideally exclude puffy/flutter sleeves and anything with ties around the waist. Links to specific items would be great. I'll look up some of my favorites and post back with those as well.

Sorry, I'm PP and the shirt dress link was wrong. I meant: https://www.macys.com/shop/product/calvin-klein-solid-midi-shirtdress?ID=11482393&CategoryID=5449
Although this one is unfortunately sold out in larger sizes.

Also dresses like these:

The floral dress is really cute.


Kiyonna is REALLY low cut.


Their wrap dress might be the most flattering thing I have ever worn at a higher weight. But definitely low cut, so used double sided tape to ensure there would be no disasters.

I got a couple dresses from Old Navy. I have nice legs (apple shape) so I wear shorts and V-neck Ts.
