pretty with a cardi for arm cover

various here

scoop or V-neck suit big top halves better than high necks, and if you don't find a dress you like with arms, as summer collections often sleeveless, you could always put with a cardigan to add cover.

hiya - I didnt want your post to go unanswered before it dropped off the active section! I am a converted dress person. Dont remember really wearning them for anything other than 'special occasions' until recently (I'm nearly 38) I wear them every day for work now (because I can't fit into my work trousers and I'm not prepared to buy 'fat' ones LOL) I'm a 14-16 and medium busted (b-c), but I love Wallis dresses. I find them very flattering if you have a bit of a tum, and I think they would fit larger busted ladies very well. I have bought a few off ebay now and they've all fit really well. The ones I go for tend to be in a jersey type fabric with a high waist (I lost my waist when I had kids) and mid calf length. I mostly wear them for work, although my favourite one I wear on my days off too.
Gah - I've just looked at the website and they have nothign in that is int he style I'm on about! But I mean something like this - not necesarily wrap around style

yes, i will have a look. I am fed up with my lack of style and hope an everyday dress would set me on the right road!!!

Try Pepperberry. Each size dress comes in three different curvy sizes to fit your boobs. I am 43 and able to wear dresses for the first time, finally finding dresses that fit! Smile
