Help with dresses, pics please

[Seela 1,187]

Hi. I haven't worn a dress for over ten years! I like dresses and now that I'm a size 12 I feel I could probably wear some now. Problem is I don't really know if it looks ok or not. Would some of you ladies please post pics in every day dresses or sun dresses so I can get an idea of how there supposed to look. I'm about 5'5" and 179 lbs... size 12... Help!

What is your body shape? That plays a huge role in what types of dresses will look good on you.

You know the saying...everything is not for everybody.

Or you can Google "wear to work dresses" or "day dresses" to see what they should look like.

Wrap dresses are usually pretty flattering. banana republic has a line in every color. I bought a snake print wrap dress at kohls last week.

Yeah, I tried that but I already know what they look like on models. ..

Great idea! Dresses were my savior during my wt loss period. You can wear them everyday, even if u lose 20lbs & with tights& boots winter to summer transition is do-able. Unlike my damn pants that kept falling down& revealing my plumber butt on the daily. Hrrmph. Wraps, color blocking, slim inset dresses all help.

I must really respect the ppl on this forum to allow all my embarrassing selfies on here. I'm indecisive in dressing rooms. I'm 5'4 & 165lbs to 135 in these pics.

Seela, try Chico's. Their dresses are very flattering and comfortable. I'm wearing one in a pic in my photo gallery if you want to check it out.

You could totally rock out in a little black dress! Is it a special occasion dress?

I LOVE that dress in pic #2. Where is it from if you don't mind me asking.

Super cute! Thank you so much for sharing, you look great. I just didn't even know where to start so this gives me some great ideas

Oh, awesome, I've never been there but we actually have one in my town. I always thought of it as a skinny woman place. .. keep forgetting I can shop anywhere now. I'm definitely going this weekend!

Ahh thanks! No, not really, just thinking maybe I could wear something other than jeans or capris. I would just really like some cute summer dresses and I didn't know where to start. I'm really hard on myself and to be honest the last time I wore a dress I had a flat stomach. So far every dress I've tried on is like empire waist and I just can't help but feel even more fat. It's my stomach, I can hide it in jeans but summer dresses, not yet. I'm going to try some of the suggestions here though, thanks
