Buy a cheap and cheerful dress from Asda or similar and some chub rub shorts and see how you get on with it. That’s how I got into dresses and now I wonder why I ever bothered with seperates, especially in the Summer

I have a problem with the shelf of fat on the top of my bum. Dresses are shorter at the back because of it.
I get you, I have a big belly and I find things can be shorter at the front but not everything is like this and some dresses are even cut so they’re a bit longer at the back to cover bums.
That’s exactly the situation I’m in, I don’t want to spend too much money as I probably won’t end up wearing it!@Boogs Thanks for the tips. Deep down I know wearing a dress would be the easier solution but my brain just pushes back against it. I like the idea of wearing them but know they would fall to the back of wardrobe before I eventually try to flog them on Vinted
This! I‘m a size 22 and never wore dresses, but bought a lovely maxi dress 2nd hand from eBay and a pair of chub rub shorts to wear on holiday and it was a revelation! I felt so comfy and cool and it actually looked decent on.
I’ve since bought a few more maxi dresses from Yours and have been wearing them non-stop this past few weeks when I’m not at work. I would wear them to work if i could work out what shoes to wear. I don’t feel comfortable exposing my ugly toes in sandals at work.
It's no exaggeration that I spent at least 3 hours doing this across Vinted, ASDA, H&M and Yours website last night. And found....nothing I liked
I told you I was fussy! I'm also too lazy to shave my legs constantly. My hair is quite dark and my leg hair grows in super fast.
New look have got some cotton midi and shorter smock dresses in which are 100% cotton and are great in this weather. I had to size down 2 sizes due to the smock style. I recommend having a look at their site.
@Em_ Oooh thanks for the tip. Will have a nosey!
I'm not a massive girly girl but I'm wanting to get some summer dresses. I have big thighs and booty!! What kind of dresses would you recommend? I hate shorts as I'm so aware of my legs my style is usually quite alternative so brownie points if you have any recommendations for alt stores!

Has anyone ordered from Topsy Curvy? I wondered if their hoddies wash well and are a good material? Thanks

Joining in, I see my boob-mate Boogs is here!
I got a bnwt midaxi dress in the British Heart Foundation shop which is really a great fit! I have some snag chub rubs which are good but I prefer using Body Glide - it’s made for cyclists to stop chafing. When it’s really hot I don’t want an extra layer under my dress

I love snag chub rubs but I’m going to try the body glide this summer too
I got some culottes from Yours and the crotch hangs a bit low - exact sort of conditions where you need body glide!
I ordered a Christmas dress around 7/8 years ago and it was market quality, but I think they've changed a lot since then.Has anyone ordered from Topsy Curvy? I wondered if their hoddies wash well and are a good material? Thanks

Where do you buy body glide from? I've been using liquid talc, which works but looking for something better.
Ive found the body glide website but so many options! What’s the best one? I was thinking just the original blue one?
Why are so many plus sized trousers so baggy around the crotch? Do they think our genitals are fat too?
