I need to find an outfit for an evening do that’s dressy, midi length preferably (I’m nearly 6’) and covers the top of my arms.
Have spent hours mooching around the shops and this season the trend seems to be higher waisted dresses which with my big bust (g cup) makes me look like a sack of potatoes.
Am either a 14 or 16.
Any ideas Mumsnetters as I am getting more and more despondent!!

Have a look at Fairlie curved. She specialises in clothes for bigger busts and has some nice midi dresses. https://www.instagram.com/fairliecurved?igsh=b2x3b253MDdrcGNj

Thanks for suggestions so far! I’ll have a good look later when I get time.
I don’t really have a budget as I’m getting more and more desperate it’s gone out of the window!
Also not really keen on Long Tall Sally anymore, I used to buy lots from them but since it’s been taken over I think the quality is awful, happy to be told it’s improved again though.

I'm 181cm and a size 16 with G cups too. I've had luck with Phase Eight, Jaeger (now through M&S), Boden (do dresses in a long/tall) for dressy stuff in the past.

I am similar myself and bought from Scarlett & Jo (dress) and Phase 8 (jumpsuit)

Scamp and dude and muthahood (strong girls club) both work well with my large bust 🙈 I’m 5ft 11, although they may be too casual for what you are looking for

@Roughlythisbig I mean it's true I look at some of the links and thing JFC but then some really nice stuff with links to online boutiques etc I have never come across. It's definitely less mainstream Grin
