Help needed to find a white dress with right fit!

Any help appreciated. Needs to look something like this, but to fit an 11 y/o who has breasts.

A bigger size wouldn't help, it fits round the middle and up and down, but it is obviously designed for a young - hence completely flat chested girl - and the proportions not changed for the bigger sizes. We also can't figure out a way to make it work with a bra (even strapless) and it is rather see through without . . .

Lovely - but I think probably too fancy - the original is very plain (just cotton), and it has to be white white IYKWIM.

Its for a bridesmaid, as you've no doubt guessed - I'd like to go back to the bride with an easy solution if possible, as well as telling her it doesn't fit! (very chilled bride, so I'm sure not matching exactly will be fine, but obv needs to fit in)

The ironic thing is that the bride was my bridesmaid, very many years ago, and I had exactly the same problem of one pre-pubescent and one very busty!

wrong dress above^ meant this

That is a fantastic dress, MrsLettuce, and dd would love it. Unfortunately the other bridesmaid dresses are really quite long (mid calf) and as dd is also rather tall, I don't think it would go.

My other thought is to see if I can find someone who can make something along the right lines, sadly my dressmaking skills aren't up to it in the time available

Aah. Ok.

TBH a seamstress should easily be able to add darts / generally fit the original dress, as long as you size up. Shouldn't be a problem to uncross the straps either, or you could just get her a muliway bra and keep the backs matching.
