Find me a dress - I'm desperate!

I'm going to a wedding in Italy in August, and desperately need a dress. The problem is my boobs! They pull the fabric of most dresses so much that the waistline becomes an empire line and looks ridiculous :(

I'm an 18-20, so i'm not sure that Pepperberry would fit.

Any other ideas would be very welcome!

How about separates?

Pepperberry might be well worth a punt, they go to an 18 and they've actually got some rather nice dresses ATM.

Separates is well worth investigating too. Or, you could buy something you like that fits at the boobs and have it adjusted to fit.

I would say Pepperberry come up big, i fit a 14 dress size there when I would be a 16 or even 18 (on top) elsewhere. Definitely worth a go.

If you look at Pepperberry's Facebook page, go to Photos, and you will find lots of photos of their customers in their clothes. There is a gorgeous size 18 lady who posts photos of herself in most of their dresses, it may give you a better idea of what they look like on.

Just to add, when I go to the London Pepperberry most of the lovely dresses are already sold out in store but may still be available on line, once you have tried on a few you will get a better idea of size. They even have a waiting list system for sizes out of stock, so if one gets returned you can get it without it even appearing back in stock on the website.

Ooh lovely, Hoping DH will take me to the Solihull branch this weekend!
I've got my eye on This and This

Hope they have them in store!

I have this mint velvet dress, I'm a 16, sometimes creep to 18 but i have the 16, it hangs beautifully and is very forgiving, no clingy bits but not sack like either. It's silk too so very light and ideal for an overseas wedding IMO.
