"Big Boob" Holiday Clothes Needed!

Exactly that really. I'm going on a summer holiday for the first time in 3 years to a luxury 5* resort, and I know it's going to be 40 degree+ on an evening.

My old holiday clothes no longer fit (damn menopause😭) but I still want to wear some nice dresses / jumpsuits or co-ord sets. Everything stylish or cool enough to wear in that heat has spaghetti straps and I'm a 38K with big, fat, ugly bra straps - even my pretty bras have huge straps - and the tops of the bra peak halfway above the top of the dress, and just looks so trashy that I know it will make me very conscious.

Surprisingly I have found a couple of co-ord trouser sets on Shein that look beautiful, but can any of you big-bosomed ladies point me in the direction of something that's in fashion that would be suitable for holidays? My usual style is more Kate Middleton than Katie Price, so timeless, stylish pieces really.

I'm usually wearing between an 18-22 off the hanger if that helps!

Not helpful but I would stay away from Shein, (shockingly unethical, killing our high streets) but more to the point for you - My usual style is more Kate Middleton than Katie Price, so timeless, stylish pieces really - Shein is not the place to look.

If you browse the style and beauty boards you fill find loads of recommendations for classic, quality brands. Either spend wisely on expensive items or search Vinted for the same brands.

Tank dress with linen/cheesecloth shirt over the top, shirt and short or 7/8 co-ords, oversized tee over black bike shorts, short sleeve button down linen midi dress.

Yeah I totally get the unethical side of it, but I'm completely running low on options. This is what I have already purchased to give an idea of top covering.
