I am a sucker for a polka dot and this was something a little different from what I would usually wear. The sleeve and bodycon shape were interesting. It is from the Unique 21 range new to Simply Be. This dress is available in size 12-26. I ordered the 26 and figured if it didn't fit or I didn't like it on me I could send it back. It arrived and I put it on straight away and still was not sure. I decided to wear it and see so this is me wearing it and I actually love it!

The material is a thick stretch and perfect for the colder months. There is a zip at the back but I never use zips and slipped it on easily. Rocking the VBO (Visible Belly Outline) and my DB (Double Belly) with love for every bit of it!

I think this would actually look really good with my Romwe Collar too. It was also the perfect outfit to show off my Fancy Lady Industries Brooch. I have a few pieces from her over the years and she does some radical stuff so check her out!

With this post I wanted to share with you my body shape and how clothes look on me if I was to wear it at my waist where a skirt should normally be worn. How my shape makes clothes look strange on me and how I give myself a different shape by wearing a skirt under my bust and using this as my waist for dresses.

Below is how I wear this outfit. Pulled up to my bust and tucked in to make my bust the main focus. Not that you could miss it but I like this shape. See how I style this outfit in my next blog post tomorrow!


Here I have untucked the top and a lot of people will wear it like this and it looks fine but I have become more of a box shape.


This is my actual waist and it is not straight so thing sit at a slant on my body. My bum raises the back which I do not like. My belly is is a Double Belly (DB) and goes in at my belly button. I have no problem showing my belly and having a Visible Belly Outline (VBO) in bodycon dresses but for this style of skirt I prefer it like the top picture.


Untucked and again people will wear an outfit like this and be happy with it but I just wanted to show how the same two items can look so different when you change your positions of wearing them.


See what a difference it makes to the shape of the outfit. This can work for any style skirt and top so give it a go with some of your items and take a few pics to compare and see what you like best. Leave a link in the comments if you blog about your own shape and how it changes.

Quite a simple outfit with a splash of tribal. This top is another Clothes Swap find! New still with tags on! Moda at Asda size 24. I am finding wearing skirts that showcase my double belly really liberating! Its quite a scary thing to show it off at first.
After years of being told to dress to hide your "bad bits" by parents friends and media. Once you learn to love your belly dressing to hide things becomes meaningless. Its all about what you WANT to wear. Which makes dressing FUN again.
 I am 32 years old and it has taken me a long time to love myself the way I am but trust me its worth the effort. Push yourself to be uncomfortable and do things you wouldn't normally do. The more you put yourself out there the easier it becomes and eventually you do it without thinking about it.
Worrying less about what people think and focusing on what you think about yourself are a must for anyone at any age and size!
