Pleeeaasssseee help me dress my boobs I am going insane

I am back at work but still breastfeeding DS2 (8 months). Reducing to morning, evening and night feedes from EBF doesnt seem to have shrunk my rather large boobs in any way.

On mat leave I got away with stretchy t shirt style vests and tops but now I have to look vaguely smartish. I am an academic so don't have to go all out smart but would like some pretty spring tops to go mainly with smart jeans or skirts for the summer.

None of my tops fit properly. I am a curvy size 12 - 14 anyway so need fitted clothes or I look like a sack. I can't find anything that fits said boobs (which are at least a 36E at the moment, probably more because my BF bras don't actually fit properly but I am not buying loads more now when hoping to go back to normal underwired soon. Have had 3 babies in 4 years so dont want anything too tight on stomach/hips but has to be fitted or again puts another couple of stone on me.

My boobs are making me feel huge - am actually 1 to 1.5 stone lighter than when I got pregnant but feel even bigger. Just bought a couple of 14 really curvey pepperberry tops from ebay and even they don't fit so wondering whether I actually need a clingy size 16 top if that makes sense.

I have got a few per una flattering smock tops but my 63 year old mother keeps trying to steal them so I am thinking I might need to branch out more Wink. I am 28.

Budget....not huge amounts of money. £30 - £40 max for the right top really

HELP! Please!

Bravissimo do nice clothes that are made to fit bigger boobs. Ive never bought from them, so cant say what they are like, but as a fellow big boobed, tiny back/waist.shouldered person, i can see the appeal. and i think they will fit your budget.

dont do anynecklines that are too low, as it will just make you look slutty. sad but true.

I have one or two tops from Bravissimo - they are very hit and miss! I got 4 new tops for work recently from Debenhams, these ones:

www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_110010420406_-1?breadcrumb=Home~Women~Knitwear

and two from Principles Ben de Lisi which I can't see online. They are smart but stretchy and my 30GG boobs look fine in them, no chance of taking out an entire small country by accident!!

Oh, the two from Principles were also knitwear and of a similar idea but different colours..

Oooh they are lovely sound thank you Smile

I am no longer complaining - 30GG - wow!!

Thanks Ladysybil - am off to look at the website now
