I’ve been wearing these last 5 to 7 years? basically the same dress with different sleeve lengths, colours & design prints by Nina Leonard on QVC that’s seen me through lockdown weight gains, of ah hmm….No Comment, & it really works on minimising what I want to minimise & accentuate what I want to accentuate: The Elasticated Hem Dress! It’s elasticated at the waist & at the hem with a semi fitted little mini belt thingy in the middle of the centre at the back with very useful pockets at the front; I had my doubts at first but, it really works to give me a semi fitted hourglass outline when I was a bit slimmer pre covid lockdowns & still not too bad lesser defined hourglass with the weight gain! 🙂 AND that’s not always the case with some dress shapes that just don’t work when I get bigger!🙄😳I tried on a lovely electric blue linen dress in M&S. The colour was gorgeous, the dress just skimmed over the boobs then carried on sticking out!!! It was just huge yet the shoulders fitted perfectly. As you say, shapeless. I didn't even look as if i had any shape at all, just a largish blue triangle shape in the mirror. I had to laugh but it is getting awkward to find clothes at a reasonable price. I don't like paying much for work as i'm on my knees with the little ones or likely to get whiteboard pen on me which doesn't come off.
There’s only two types left at the moment of the Spring/Summer ones this year but, there’s more coming for Autumn/Winter! But, if the remaining sizes of the designs left suit you, you can get big savings! Just go to QVC UK & search for Nina Leonard elasticated hem dress.
