Difficult Challenge Here ...

[topsyturner]

I have a challenge for you all .
I am 5ft 2in , size 20 , and 6 months ago I had a mastectomy .
I haven't had a reconstruction yet , so I am still having to cope with a (mahoooosive) false boob in my G cup bra . (am I painting a nice enough picture for you all yet ? )

I am looking for a dress for a girly weekend . Nothing too partyish , maybe something that can be dressed up or down .
As if I wasn't handicapped enough with the height and weight issues , I also have to deal with cleavage issues .
I know that V necks suited me pre surgery , but because I have quite a short distance between my shoulders and my cleavage everything I see is too low cut .
There's nothing more disconcerting than catching sight of your own false boob trying to make a break for it out of a top that's too low cut !

So ladies , if you could find me a dress for under £100 (preferably quite a lot under !) I would be eternally greatful !

Oh by the way , I'm 42 . But a young 42 < checks mirror , ignores wrinkles >

Oh I forgot to say that there is a head shot of me on my profile . But I now have an inch of hair all over due to chemo . It's growing back , honest !

I have no idea...but hopefully an expert will come along soon

here you can use again - bit sedate depending on your confidence level

bit of a V but not too much

dress up or down

i adore this more for sophisticated lunches and work though maybe?

you did say you were a young 40

Oooh, that spotty DP one is LOVELY

Thanks Custy
Really like that spotty one , but it's definitely not a sedate lunch type weekend
And love the shape of the coral twist shape dress , but not sure it's right for my colouring .
Now if I could find the coral twist in the snake fabric ...

Have a look at the rest of the DP dresses. They have (or did just before Christmas) a leopard print one with a twist waist that is very flattering.

Thanks Monkeys will go have a bimble through the website now .

Do post some links if you find anything good

bright floral with sleeves
zebra twist
scoop neck ruched snakish
rainbow

Oooh and wallis has some nice ones...gorgeous
cute

Have ordered this to try

Sorry , not good at linky things . Have ordered another day time dress too , will link seperately .

Choose a dress that you like and would suit you, ant then get a bra bib or Cami to go underneath it?

Also a nice necklace draws the eye p from the V to help your confidence - not that you need confidence I peeked at your profile, you are very pretty

This for travelling in . Will team it with black opaques , black boots , and black slouchy cardigan ?

I'd say stick with the neckline that suited you presurgery, but wear something under to cover the cleavage.

Thanks Faux love that Wallis one with the red flower pattern .

Honey thankyou !
I do layer with vest tops for day wear , just wanted to wear summat without having to do the Granny Foundation Garment thing ...

Tis not granny . Its cool and on trend layering. I have to wear vest tops or camis under most tops and dresses due to ample bosoms, and i am size 8. Its a body shape thing rather than a size thing

I had the bra bib things as a wardrobe staple as I like the Avon ones but after my Mum had her mastectomy she nicked them all

If you are into snakeskin this one is quite nice - www.wallis.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33058&storeId=12557&productId=4249833&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=209179&parent_categoryId=209165&pageSize=20
