There are so few v neck dresses - why??

[NorthernGirlie]

I'm on a desperate hunt for a dress for a hen do this weekend (I've left it too late!)

Everything is bloody high / round neck... which make my massive boobs look like smuggled cushions!

If you're short and dumpy - where are you buying your v neck dresses from please?

I’m the same and struggle to find clothes that I like. I tend to Google v neck dress and see what comes up. I don’t really suit dresses but get tops from Roman, Matalan, Dorothy Perkins. It depends on your budget really. I would also search on Debenhams website and you’ll get results from different designers and price ranges. Sometimes they have free next day delivery. Hope this helps ☺️

John lewis lets you search by neckline....very handy.

Apricot often have v neck dresses, some New Look stores stock them.

I’m buying round necks and altering them, with the help of a relative who’s far more experienced in dressmaking! Not particularly practical at short notice though, I share your frustration!

I could have written this! I think there is a mission these past few years to make women look as unattractive and as Little House on the Prairie as possible.
I think the high street hates us.

837 on M&S website - by far the highest number of any type of neckline. Happy hunting!

Vinted is where I'm getting most of mine.

If you're looking for a floaty summer dress Hope & Ivy are good as are Tiger Lily.

I am shortish and dumpy too, but I still go for round or square neck.
m&S has been my saviour this year!!
be careful if buying anything sale online from them though as they aren’t arriving next day.

I've found H&M and Nobody's Child best this year.

Not sure why. But Scamp & Dude do plenty of really nice v neck designs

Yes! I can't wait for the trend of floral pattern, puff sleeved, frilly styles to go away. Little House on the Prairie sums it up nicely.

Also boat neck anything, for those of us with big boobs who require scaffolding bras with unsexy straps they are awful.

Plenty on Boden. I can't wear their dresses - too short in the waist for me but some of them look lovely.

Try searching the Next website for V neck dresses and applying the relevant filters - they have loads of brands on there now.

Bought a v neck from sea salt last week

I’m the same it’s either gaping shirt dresses or a full on boob shelf in a round neck hideous

Another vote for Nobody’s child, lots of high waist v neck short sleeves to be had. I hear you about v necks as with larger boobs shirred round neck dresses look hideous on me. I have also reached the age where I won’t go sleeveless any more, sites with filters for sleeves get my vote!

@NorthernGirlie does a v neck not show a huge cleavage though??

I got a v-neck dress in the White Stuff sale. Look up notch neck, so not a deep v.

Or search for a sweetheart neckline

Seasalt has some nice v-necked dresses, if you like bold prints.

I don’t suit high necks. I have luck with B neck dresses at Roman and Pour Moi

And often gapes!

Personally I'm loving the higher neck dresses this season. I'm grabbing loads of them for the rainy seasons when everything will be sodding v necked again, when people like the OP should stock up in their turn.

However, in the meantime, this from the Uniqlo sale is an absolute gem if there are still any available near you.

I like some of their dresses but they hardly ever have a full sleeve! I find it so annoying, there's always something not quite right with them.

Not necessarily. A v neck is the most flattering neckline for those of us with bigger boobs. I can’t wear high neck or boat neck - I just look fat. I’m fed up of all these high round necks - they look bloody awful unless you’re thin.

I’ve got v necks from sea salt as well as John Lewis.
