Fashion for curvy girls

The Bokić clan is here!!!
So, I’ll join the fray... I gave birth three months ago. Before that, I was a size 6 or 8, and finding clothes was a breeze because my figure was actually decent. I could shop at TopShop, Mexx, Benetton, Sisley—anyplace, really. But everything changed after the baby arrived. My stomach has flattened out somewhat, but my chest? Let's just say it's jumped up about three cup sizes due to nursing. Dieting isn't an option here; I’ve noticed that if I cut out carbs like bread or pasta, my milk supply drops, and then the little one struggles to eat.😂
Anyway, I’m 23, and I’m looking to camouflage certain areas—like my hips, for instance.
But I refuse to dress like an old lady. I want to wear what I used to: jeans, tees, you know the drill... something normal, or what I call "eternally modern."
I’m based in a coastal city where there’s absolutely nothing. It’s not even hard to find my size—I’m currently hovering between a US 10, 12, and occasionally a 14—but when I actually put these things on, it’s a disaster.
Jeans that end at my pelvis? My stomach spills out. Crop tops that hit just above the navel? Not happening. Dresses that stop mid-thigh? Good grief, I can't walk around the world looking like that.🤷
I’ve heard there are boutiques and brands in Europe that carry more classic cuts. You know exactly what I’m looking for. Just some higher-waisted jeans and slightly longer shirts. I simply want to look presentable without sacrificing style.
It’s painful to see women squeezing themselves into a size 8 just because they *can*, only to have every curve spilling out of the garment. Same goes for the tops. Though, I get it—when you're struggling, you take what you can get and try to make peace with your flaws.🤣
Honestly... I don't know what happened to the designers and retailers in this country. They seem to think American women are built like teenage boys—flat chests, no hips, no curves. If they actually stepped outside and looked at real people instead of living their lives through a TV screen, maybe they’d realize how wrong they are.
