Summer Dress Styles
As it gets warmer outside I start wanting to buy a summer dress. This happens every year but I haven't had a proper summer dress since I was 11 years old. I'm 18 now.
Every dress I try on either doesn't fit properly or is just plain unflattering. I'm 5'9 and I weigh around 14 stone. I take a (British) size 18 because i have a large bust. My measurements are as follows Bust=111 cm, Underbust=96cm, Waist=87cm and Hips=110cm. I have basically got an hourglass figure but I'm plumb and buxom to go with it.
My appearence is pretty low maintenence so something quite simple would probably be best.If neccessary I can make the dress myself from a sewing pattern as I just got a sewing machine.
What cut of dress would be flattering and suit my figure?

An A-line dress or something fitted to your bust would be best. I understand how you feel since I also have trouble buying clothes because of my bust. Separates are good as I can get the top in a size to fit my bust and the bottom in a size to fit my lower body. Since I also have a sewing machine, I often buy a dress to fit my bust then take it in on the sides so it fits better. You can find several dress patterns online. Just do a good search for "free dress patterns".

im not great with metrics for body measuments although i should be anywayy try a lot of them on. as for figure, i think you should try one that has a high waist to show or you hourglass figure. try thincker fabrics too. or you could also go "a-line". if they simply dont make one that you are comfortable in, buy a cute skirt with a matching top. or you could go diy and make it yourself. cute and original! let me know if you interested in that... <3

I have the same problem. Clothes don't flatter or fit my body just right either. I would try consentrating on your best body features like mine is my legs so I wear short shorts. If ur trying to make a dress, do the same thang. Like if your arms are ur best feature, go sleeve-less. Hope it helped.

I have a sister who has the same problem. She hates it because she has such a hard time finding clothes. A halter dress with a flowing bottom always fits nicely. They fit that body type well and its a really cute dress
