Another style that I have grown to love with my belly (I swear I still look like I am pregnant), is a lot of halter style that hang from boob. Like this sort of thing

This sort of style is usually very generous, and quite forgiving. Empire line is also great for hiding a lack of waist original.gif

(nb: I actually have that dress - in a size 12, but cobalt blue with black leather neck). VERY forgiving cut and wear.

I don't know OP, it's really hard

I find that once you hit size 18 you buy what fits not necessarily what you love... I think I need to shop online more...

One thing I don't personally buy anymore are things that gather under your boob - these invariably make me look PG to the extent that people ask me when I am due etc.

I stick to mainly fitted heavy-fabric clothes like denim skirts and jeans - flimsier fabrics are too unforgiving, and baggy clothes don't flatter

I think it would almost be worth getting clothes made if possible - off the rack gear just isn't made for larger sizes..

I carry all my weight in my belly. Skinny jeans look good on me for about the first two times I wear them, then I find I'm forever having to hitch them up as they tend to be 'stretch' type denim, so they stretch around my belly, and then end up saggy all over my legs and butt.

Me personally, I have decent boobs and legs, but find pants in general just don't fit me properly, so I tend to opt for dresses that cinch under the boobs then skim over my mid area and end knee length or just above.
