Lottie Drynan, size 12, and her best friend, Laura Adlington, size 26, are proving that body shape and size have no limits when it comes to looking and feeling good.
Posting on social media, the size-inclusive duo proudly showed off three gorgeous dresses, perfect for weddings this summer.
In a clip shared across both Instagram pages, Lottie explained: “Today we have some unreal wedding guest dresses that will make everyone feel amazing.”
The fashion duo first tried out a stunning pink and red dress – the Twisted Wunder Ziggy Satin Maxi dress – from Simply Be.
While Lottie said she “absolutely loved” the £69 dress, Laura explained: “I love it on you, I think you look phenomenal, I love the batwing sleeves, really cute and quirky print.”
Fashionistas were thrilled to discover the dress had pockets, as Lottie added: “Literally the best dress I’ve ever seen in my life, I loved it.”
Next Above, creators tried on Monsoon’s black Sicily print dress.
They were both very impressed with the £130 dress, while Laura smiled: “I love it. I feel like a movie star.”
Lottie compared the Great British Bake Off star to Audrey Hepburn and praised the “beautiful quality” of the dress.
But Lottie then pointed out that for those “busty” women, you might want to size up.
For the final dress in the collection, the influencers modeled a gorgeous blue floral dress by Hope & Ivy, which you can normally purchase at Simply Be but is currently sold out.
Laura shared, “This keeps coming in and out of stock so don’t hate us, but we had to show you because I think this might be one of the prettiest dresses we’ve ever tried on.”
What is the best style that suits everyone?
ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there’s a new dress style that suits every body shape.
Low-rise and low-rise silhouette styles have emerged, thanks to the ’90s fashion trend that swept the catwalks, social media and, of course, the high street.
First seen on the runways of luxury brands Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style typically hugs the hips and pelvic area rather than the waist.
Now, a plethora of more affordable dress options that suit various body shapes have dropped as the sun starts to rise.
Clemmie Fieldsend, fashion editor, said: “There is something so stylish about these dresses and I love them.
“The simplicity of the top half combined with the full skirt is like a more elegant and adult tutu.
“I have a short torso, so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but luckily the long skirt means your legs don’t look shorter.
“Plus, it means I can enjoy the low-rise trend without showing off in a pair of low-rise jeans.
“I know I’ll be living in mine all summer, paired with black sandals and sunglasses, but for now all I need is a blazer over it and closed-toe shoes and I’m good to go.”
Meanwhile, fashion director Tracey Lea Sayer added: “I remember the low-waisted dresses of the 80s. I loved them then and I still love them again now!
“Forty years after they became popular and I’m not so sure they’ll be as flattering on my waist, because two kids and middle age creeps in later, my waist is no more.
“With a dress like this I can hide my waist and still feel fashionable for summer.”
Lottie then chimed in and described the fit of the dress as “beautiful”.
Meanwhile, Laura considered the dress “perfect” and compared it to a painting.
How to look chic on a budget
Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger and beauty journalist Samantha Silver have revealed how you can elevate your looks without spending hundreds of pounds.
- Never spend on designer jeans: River Island ”always has a great selection of fashionable jeans that follow current trends”. The high street retailer offers a huge range of sizes for UK 6 – UK 18 and three leg lengths – and prices start at an affordable £25.
- There are no rules for jewelry: ”Buy something at a car boot sale or charity shop, browse Vinted and eBay, buy something in the clothing section of your local supermarket when grocery shopping, or check out high street clothing stores.”
- Don’t forget your favorite sites: With a growing number of second-hand sites like Vinted and Depop, there’s no excuse not to buy – or sell – used clothes. Gemma, for example, managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunglasses for just £17.

Why the latest fashion trends are a disaster for real women’s bodies
From tight micro shorts to skin-revealing tops, it looks like the “new
Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend explains why the size 10 is struggling to add this season’s latest trends to her wardrobe.
“If I wore the season’s styles, I would look stupid.
My job as a fashion editor is to know what’s in fashion and what’s not, what’s in stores and what people are wearing. But this season, stores seem flooded with looks that I consider unwearable — and I’m sure plenty of other “normal” people do, too.
For example, I wouldn’t be caught dead in the low-rise jeans that dominate the High Street.
And I recently saw a photo of stunning Sydney Sweeney in a pair – with boyish-looking boxers peeking out from the top and a matching bandeau top. Despite her beauty, I thought the White Lotus star was an idiot.
And I had to ask myself: ‘What reinforcements does she have to hold up her breasts?’
The other thing that irritates me about fashion is that if it’s not open in the back, it’s open in the front.
While I’m all for body confidence and wearing whatever you want, there’s no way I’m on a crowded train or visiting the office with my stomach, bra, and breasts on display. I would hate to turn anyone away from cornflakes.
Right now, Zara is the worst offender. When his models aren’t crouching awkwardly over kitchen stoves, they wear baggy crochet pants and sequin crop tops with spaghetti straps.
I’m a 33-year-old M&S woman. From underwear to outerwear, I love them and look at them every week to see what’s trending.
They are really nailing vests at the moment. Simple and elegant, they come in cotton, linen and a rainbow of colors.”
At the same time, many Instagram users were particularly impressed by the polka dot dress.
One fashionista smiled: “My God, the polka dots look amazing on you both, one of the best I’ve ever seen on you.”
A second wrote: “Love watching this!! The one with black polka dots is my favorite.”
While someone else explained: “They all look AMAZING on you two, but that uneven number had me swooning!”
