Default Have to wear a dress but Im too self conscious =(

i have to go to a wedding in August and im starting to look for a dress now, but i'm soooo self conscious about my tummy and legs that i cant find one that will somewhat hide both areas. most of the dresses right now are around knee-length, which doesnt hide my big legs lol and they also seem to be fitting in the tummy area, which can emphasize my post-pregnancy tummy. is there hope for me? (im still dieting right now but i most likely wont lose all the weight i need to lose by august 16) or do i just suck it up and wear these summer dresses even tho i'd be somewhat uncomfortable in them?? pls help. ive been wanting to post this but ive been too embarassed to do so.....thanks a lot.

what about a DVF wrap dress? isn't that great for hiding some tummy? and "big" legs are easily overseen if you wear great heels!

How about a maxi dress? They are long, cover the tummy and legs. And draws the attention upward!







Here are some I found on ShopBop. I'm not sure if they are the right style, what kind of wedding are you ateending?

I hope I've helped a little!

You can try something like this. It has control panels built into it. They have a whole line called 'Shape FX'.

You could get an empire waist dress! The ones that fit snugly right under your bust and then sort of widen out a bit from there.
