Dress regret- but I don’t trust my own eyes
I have a formal wedding to attend in October. The dress code is formal and black (like the color, not “black tie”.) I’ve had an awful time finding anything and I’m running out of time, so I got this dress (first set of pictures) yesterday because it fit the dress code and was a third the price of anything else I found. I liked it ok but the longer I look at it, the more I think it is unflattering. I have no cleavage at allll (these pictures are with significant padding) and I feel like the wrap neck just accentuates my flatness and makes the dress sit funny. I’m also 5’3” and have a short torso so the waist keeps bunching up weird. I do have a pretty slim waist which is my only body feature I like and it hides that. For reference, I added a few other dresses I tried on and thought were more flattering but were either way too expensive or don’t fit the dress code. Is this one not as bad as I think? Any suggestions to help it look better? Or should I order a ton of things online and hope they get here in time and that they work out better?

I've literally cried because I don't know what looks good on me...
Please suggest general styles or types of clothing or anything at all really

I rarely feel good in what I'm wearing, and I feel like its impossible to style my long torso and not-well-defined waist.

I'm nearly 5' 8" and everything just feels like its not the right size or hits my waist wrong or makes me look bloated (and I have problems with being bloated already so I hate when my clothes make it look worse).

I hate posting pics or info of myself, so I'm truly desperate to figure out what I should wear that doesnt make me look awkward. I just took a ton of photos in different clothes I own and am hoping someone can figure it out.

EDIT: OMG THANK YOU everyone for commenting. I'm still reading through all of the comments, and I wish I could reply to each one of you.

In general I'm seeing a few trends that I think I'll work on first:

The jeans are a bit old (ok, like 15 years old), and I don't even like skinny jeans that much, so I'm 100% on board with finding new ones with a different shape!

ACCESSORIES are my friend and I've neglected them

Y'all really like the striped dress which is good, because that's my favorite too! I was second guessing myself and actually have never worn that (the tag is still on it), but clearly I should!

Thinner straps on shirts or more open shoulders/neck seem to be preferred

Use pinterest and subreddits and just trying things on to figure out my style but FOR FUN and not stress haha. I live in a college town and work remotely, so I haven't been exposed a lot to anything outside of college fashion on my own. If you know the TV show My Life Is Murder, I've always wished I could "pull off" what Lucy Lawless wears in that, so maybe I'll start there (not sure how I would feel IN the clothes, but it's as good a place to start as any).

Also my shape changed a few years ago (after a stomach disorder), and I think I'm still getting used to it, which is were some of the lack of confidence is probably coming from (and where the clothes that look a bit to large come from!). I've been trying to work on body image in therapy, and figuring out my style is definitely part of that!
