Hello lovely - I'm a curvy girl too and proud of it!
If you are in the UK you have aloth of choice! The best dresses are the wrap over jersey kind - they are flattering and light in weight but look at places like Dorothy Perkins, new Look, Debenhams, Matalan, Wallis, BHS and Next - Evans is OK but their stuff can be a bit old fashioned. The best thing to do it try clothes on and have a look at yourself and ideally take a very honest friend with you! Good luck and happy hunting - for ideas in what suits your shape visit the Trinny & Susannah website too. Live by the rulkes and you can't go far wrong and BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!
I hear you sister! My best find is a gorgeous summer dress that sits over the breast, sinches in slightly under the breast and then flows out. It's stylish and hides the yukky tummy. I believe the term for such a dress is A-Line.
dresses that show a little cleavage and are a little tight under your breasts and then kinda flow down are a good choice...they dray attention your "assets" and then are a little loose as they flow down giving a slimmer appearance. They make shirts like this as well. Hope this helps:)
You might try a store like Torrid, Ashley Stewart, or Lane Bryant that sell bigger sizes. I say this because their cuts always seem to flatter fuller women.

I mean flaunt what ya got girlfriend!
Depends were you live. If in the uk try new look they have really nice stuff for bigger women, My best friend is a size 24 and always looks really lovely as she makes the best of herself, i'm a size 10 and look like a tramp next to her. Just because your bigger doesn't mean your not beautiful x x
I totally understand - I have found that Laura Ashley, Monsoon and The White Company all go up to size 18 and above. Also sometimes (depending on your shape) Marks & Spencers ( try looking in Per Una section ) can be ok - although this varies from year to year.
Good Luck!
Why do you think having a baby is an excuse for being greedy?
Why don't you tackle your eating habits instead of hiding in some outsized tent - it's unhealthy to be that much over weight. Can you actually run around and play with your baby boy? No I didn't think so.
Never mind about the dress, there are plenty of places other people have mentioned which sell nice clothes to fit you. Make sure you wear good underwear, if you are concious about your stomach wear Spanx or something like that, if you feel like you are 'held in' you will feel much better.
Also, ignore the lose weight comments, being a size 18 doesn't necessarily mean you are unfit and definately doesn't mean you are a bad mother.
just wear a g-string and go to the shops in that
I SERIOUSLY WOULDNT GO SHOPPING I WOULD GO GYMNING INSTAED
Whatever you wear will look like a tent!
Go on a diet and shed those fatty fat kilos.
It ain't elegant looking obese. Do the world a favour and diet.
Just don't eat so much. smaller meals means smaller waistlines....
Have a nice slim summer.
