How do you not look tarty or frumpy if you have big boobs..?

I'm a 34g and find it an absolute nightmare ( and v time consuming ) to find clothes that either don't make me look bigger than I am or make me look top heavy. I think Bravissimo is great but I am sooo disappointed in Pepperberry, I think their clothes are overpriced, frumpy and often just bigger versions of clothes in normal stores, ie styles that are for smaller busts that are unflattering to bigger ones and often cut v high under the bust thus emphasising them. Wrong! I suit styles that are more long and flowing and that skim the bust ( long, floaty skirts and waterfall cardigans etc to balance my top half) but they are hard to find and not v fashionable...

How do you cope with/ dress yours?

People with little bust say, oh you're so lucky but I have literally spent a day going round the shops and found nothing and come back depressed and wanting a boob reduction!

Just got v polite email from manager saying I would be refunded promptly and they would be reviewing their company policy to bring it into line with regulations. Hurrah! Thanks to lawyer friend for the advice!

Changing from lurking on this thread to posting.

I ordered this jumpsuit (www.romanoriginals.co.uk/invt/30704?colour=Black) for the Christmas season and love it. It's very comfortable, lots of fabric to make it feel expensive and offer forgiveness over my other well endowed parts. The cleavage on it is great without being too much. I've worn it to at least 3 different parties and it's been a big hit. Not many sizes left for it, but I thought I should pass on the link since I've discovered so many from this thread!

Just to share, I'm always looking for work clothes, so got 2 shirts from DD atelier:
dd-atelier.com/Blouse-Vikki-in-Watermelon.html
and dd-atelier.com/Blouse-Sicilia-in-White.html

Love them both, no gaping, good length, fabric not see-through (often a problem with white shirts). The Sicilica is more fitted at the waist, so I maybe could have used a size up from Vikki, but then again it looks great worn inside trousers or skirts. Recommended.

Lurking on this thread, liked the sound of the dd atelier clothes ocelot linked but am unable to view as my settings say they are pornography!

With a 10 yo DS, am pleased to know they are working, if a little over efficiently.

I've got 28ff/30g boobs. I just go for what fits and if it doesn't and is too tight round bust area I don't buy it.

Am 5ft5 approx size 12 but good legs so I'll play up those, draw attention to those.

I do hate (and buy TM Lewin or old Karen Millen staple) shirts/blouses so try not to wear or buy them.
