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!

#2 is express, $25. The other ones are TJ maxx under $20.

Thank you ladies so much! I can't wait to go dress shopping this weekend. .. I'll post some update pics when I do

May I just say you all are so beautiful!

I also vote for a "fit and flare style". I just bought that style dress for a wedding next weekend. I am going to be with people/ family who haven't seen me in a while so I wanted my outfit to show of my progress without being over the top. At 6 months out, while I have dropped 7 sizes, I have not worked out enough to tame my saggy , baggy belly. I am not complaining, its just a fact that this fluff needs to be tamed by the right clothing, lol. The "fit " hows accenuates a smaller waist and the "flare" conceals a loose mid section easily. I love the wrap dresses and but I am still too self conscious about being a bit lumpy. Happy shopping!

A long tight Lycra singlet will hide any jelly belly. Yes you could get spanks but the cheap option is the long Lycra singlet which I buy from Target in Aus so maybe check out some of the cheaper dept stores.

YOU ARE ME! I haven't worn a dress since prom. I eloped for my wedding so I never wore a dress! I am also 5'5 and 170lbs. I was thinking that I could probably wear a dress but I'm so overwhelmed I don't know where to begin. I saw the post about a potential wrap dress; however, I think my boobs (the only thing that hasn't reduced) are to big plus I still have the baby flap over so I would have to wear some major spanks to fit into the little black dress. Shorter would work since I'm not tall, but again, the process is very overwhelming.

I totally agree. I never thought I'd hate shopping but it's such a chore now because I don't even know where to start or what size i am. I'm excited about getting some dresses though... Now... I'm not even going to start on the nightmare of bra shopping! Lol

I'm 6 months out and 70 lbs down. I recently found I'm wanting to wear more girlie clothes and went dress shopping. I tried on over 30 dresses (and wasn't all sweaty and ready to pass out in the dressing room because I'm cold all the time now) - all different styles and found two that I really liked and purchased. Go to the stores and try on everything you can get your hands on! It was very surprising on what I found I liked on compared to what I liked on the hanger. I had a blast even though I was shopping by myself.

^^Good advice!

I got dresses! Thanks everyone for your help

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.

You look great. You're very pretty.

Thanks! Yes, I went with my daughter and I think she may have had more fun than me... she was pulling dresses left and right. .. I never would have even tried these types of dresses without everyone's recommendations, so thank you so much!
