I’m like on average a size 12 or 10 after I put on some weight. I always had a coke bottle shape, small waist, but large hips and tush as well as large chest. I am very self conscious about my tush sticking out too much but I also need some shape to not look like I’m wearing a potato sack. If anyone has recommendations of good brands or items I would appreciate it. It’s possible I’m up to a 14-in many brands I’m a large or sometimes a M.

I live in Brooklyn if that’s helpful but open to online options.

Embrace your shape. I’m sure you are beautiful. I’d look for three quarter length open kimono style over pieces with a simple black dress underneath. Ie a black dress from the shell station with a gauzy almost filmy duster style article of clothing

Thank you! Any tips for the kimono style pieces? I love that look. And I do like my shape, but I get self conscious if I see people staring. Even more so since I’m married. I asked my husband the other day if he thinks my skirt hugs my bottom too much. He said no, it looks great. (He is really chilled out and not controlling at all, that’s why I ask his opinion. I know he’ll be honest with me but on his own would never try and tell me what to do). So I wore it. But I felt like everyone was staring at my bottom, and also I have a large chest but a small midsection. I basically felt like hiding all day! I was working so I wasn’t with my husband all day. I ended up putting my denim jacket around my middle. When I was single a few years back I wasn’t as self conscious about these things. But I was also a bit thinner.
