Casual dress that can be worn with big boobs!

it is driving me nuts!
I have searched the web for hours and already sent back two dresses that made me look like Hattie jakes.

I have several boring one-colour wrap type dresses. Am I asking too much to want something a bit less dull for when I'm not at work?

(size 12 bottom, 32h top, blonde, 5ft5)

Please :)

Hi I'm following this thread with interest, as a fellow boobie person (30G).

Looking at Pepperberry, this looks promising, although it might be a frumpy length. I like the fact there's no seam or belt to interfere with the smooth line. I find anything with a defined waist or belted middle makes me look like a sack of potatoes tied in the middle, but that might be because I'm an hourglass with a short waist.

I do think anything gathered increases the space you take up, though, and hence makes you look fat - as tailored as poss is best I find.

Saying that, drapey styles work well too - Vivienne Westwood Anglomania have some gorgeous ones although I'm not sure I'd class them as daywear (not for my days anyway!)

I agree the length is frumpy. Actually I find that sort if drapey dress fairly easy to buy from 'normal' shops.

Btw IME wallis is excellent for basic plain coloured dresses that fit my shape.

I nearly bought the top only version of that dress but talked myself out if it as it is soo like most if my wardrobe. Agree it will prob be good though.
