What styles will never work for you?

Wrap dresses... I'm sick and tired of hearing/reading how great they look on curvy or busty people.
No - I look like a bag of spuds in them!

I grew with you there. I always think Kirstie Allsop looks awful in them, in spite of being a very attractive woman.

*agree

Wish something would make my bum look flat!

Anything tucked in doesn’t look good on me - I’m not huge (14, sometimes a 16), but I have a bit of a tummy, and poor muscle strength there!

Ooh, I think it’s trendy with the young to have quite a big, sticky out “booty” !

I love wrap dresses and find them very flattering.

But, I can't wear boxy styles, pinafore dresses or dirndl style skirts. They just don't suit me. Ditto trousers with pleated fronts or button fly jeans and double breasted jackets.

I'm small and round. Anything with a small pattern, high neckline and long length is hideous on me.

Long pleated (or any pleated!) skirts - I look like a lampshade.
The current trend for long flowery dresses makes me look like I’m wearing a nightdress or a mobile floral tent.
Simpler the better I guess is best!

That’s interesting about the wrap dresses. Are you fairly slim? Small bust?

I try not to buy things which don't flatter my short and now rounder shape. When I was younger I would have loved to have worn the Chanel type skirt suit but the top would make me look like a box.

I cannot wear anything tightly fitting, or pleats, or anything at all too fussy.
I like plain colours mainly too.
I cannot wear shorts or short skirts

Skirts, any and every. Gave them up 10 years ago, they make
me look so old

I avoid dresses or skirts with a tie belt I look like a sack tied up in the middle. I’m too lumpy and bumpy.

I haven't worn a skirt since a hundred years ago.

Anything that’s too fussy; belts; low cut necklines; puff sleeves.

Round necks make me feel as though I'm being strangled. I always wear V-necks. It's also more flattering for the bigger bust.

I don't like anything frilly or those tops that have a sleeve but leave your shoulders bare.

Everything mentioned above.

Anything posh really. I just don't look or feel good dressed up in 'proper' clothes.

White trousers: last time I counted I had 7 - then I bought another pair.?
They go with everything, look smart, classic, I'll wear them for years, but - my life these days, having moved house to a more casual area & lifestyle is gardening with a group, grand-children, then there's winter....

Long tunics in cotton fabric that, since my hips have widened considerably, stick around my waist after I start moving about and so make my bottom look like a huge square box when viewed from the back.

Anything boxy or tied round the waist, I think now a Kaftan would be most flattering with a wimple.?

I’m finding it impossible to find simple day dresses at the moment. As a petite size 8, these midi voluminous dresses completely drown me.
