Thanks for a great site, Angie!</p> <p>I am a classic apple shape and am looking for some help preparing for two semi-formal events (a fancy wedding and a local awards ceremony) this May/June. Since it's so hard for me to find good clothes, I'm starting the search early! </p> <p>Because my tummy is so large, I rarely wear dresses; generally, I look much better in separates that don't highlight my midsection. But I'd really like to get a special dress this time. Even better if I can find something classic and flattering and then I won't have to worry about this next time I have a fancy occasion! </p> <p>Most of what I've found on the internet recommends empire waistlines, but in my experience, those look pretty dreadful on me...since I also have a large bust, empire just makes me look pregnant and/or like an extra in a pirate wench movie. ;-)</p> <p>Suggestions on what to look for? Brands? Stores? Thank you! </p>
