Petite (erm or short) and big, big boobs - what do you wear?

[duro1]

I find clothes so difficult. Since 10, 5ft 1, and bloody huge boobies. Anything on top that is not fitted makes me look preggers and like I'm wearing a tent. I have a couple of bits from Pepperberry (Bravissimo) but not that much choice and I find the lengths on all their stuff very long.

I'm 5 ft with big (not big big!) boobs. I spend a lot of time in skater-style dresses (with leggings or tights). Pepperberry too long for me too. I have given up on the idea of ever wearing a shirt again!

Where do you get your skater dresses from? I find that anything below knee looks ridiculous on me - like I'm drowning!!

I'm the same but 5ft 2.

I live in skinny jeans as my legs are nice and slim and a shortish shortish blouse.

I do tend to look a bit pregnant but I'm not sure what else to wear. I don't like wearing tight tops for obvious reasons

Following with interest! I'm 5ft1 with large boobs and a size 10. I mostly wear fitted clothes, anything baggy makes me look pregnant or like an egg on legs!!

I'm 5ft and pregnant - my boobs (normally 30e) are a 32ff at the moment and still growing!!! I'm really struggling to dress suitably. Usually though I wear whatever I want, as long as it is a good length and fit. I love asos petite. And Dorothy Perkins petite. And topshop for jeans, the 28inch leg.

5 feet tall here, mahoosive boobs. I wear tons of skinny jeans, fitted vests and cardis. I almost never wear dresses but find a nice above the knee skirt and fitted top look best for work.

ach, I look like a barrel most of the time. I've lost my waist thanks to the peri-menopause and nothing looks good on me now. I'm thinking of taking up sacks.

I'd forgotten I bought this dress last week. It's very flattering as its a bit stretchy so goes over the boobs, it rests just above my knee. I got lots of compliments so I think I should wear more dresses, it's just finding ones to fit.

Egg on legs I'm with you there!

I wear skinnies with fitted tops but would love to do more dresses, skirts, shirts etc. And if I am having a fat day I just wear something non fitted and look like a lump

OOoh I like that Boden dress - never brought anything from Boden - are they free returns? I like to order a mass of stuff and send most of it back . What shoes did you wear with it?

5ft 1in. 32FF, slightly chubby size 14. I wear skinny jeans or jeggings (I have very slim legs), with hip length tops. I dress it up by wearing the same thing with silk tops and heels. I hate having to dress up more formally at the moment as dresses make me look matronly. Of course as a middle aged mother I am a matron, but that's not what I want to look like.

As an apple shape I have long ago given up on skirts.

I get quite a few dresses from Red Herring at Debenhams. ASOS Petite is also pretty good. An occasion one from Oasis, H & M, Topshop.

Occasional not occasion ^

duro yes, they do do free returns, just order whatever you want and return I do it all the time I ordered a 10 and a 12 regular as Boden sizing is notoriously random. I kept the 12 for boobage. I wore wedged sandles with it.

I also ordered and kept a top from Boden which I'll link to when I find it. It's also very flattering for boobs.

5'2, size 12ish and 32FF here.

I wear a lot of skinny jeans with a longish cami and then a shorter top. Quite like them with a shorter cami and an open shirt or cardigan over too.

Otherwise v plain tops with a pencil skirt or fuller skirt.

Dresses are hide to find but I generally like either Whistles or Whistles-esque body con ones, or prom style cotton ones.

I got this with a 20% off, Boden are always having money off events so you could wait for one of them.

Nice Boden top too - expensive though. I don't usually spend that much on clothes. Was trawling the Boden sale and put a few items in basket £184

Have just seen this Boden code on another thread.

A5J6 until 3 /9.

20% off , free P&P and returns.

I've been so disappointed with my ravello tops. The hems are so tiny that they've unraveled in multiple places.

Now pregnant so my massive boobs have started trying to take over the universe but normally a size 10-12, 5'4, and 32g. I lived in jersey skater type dresses with a nipped in waist, and a reasonable neckline. The stretch really helped getting something that would fit on my boobs but not drown me at the waist. I shop mainly at Asos and H&M.

5 feet, 7.stone and 32E here. I wear fitted t shirts, with long cardigans. The cardigans without fastening I find best. Sometime I pin them just below the fullest part of my boobs. I try to avoid skinny jeans as I look like Max Wall, with my matchstick legs,

I've just got my first Ravello top (not v neck) in a charity shop. I reckoned that it was worth a shot for £6 and if I like it, I'll buy a couple of new ones! It's quite flattering across the norks in a 12, but a bit snug around the hips - do people generally size up, or am I just getting fat?

I'm 4ft 11, size 12-14 with 32FF boobs. I virtually never wear trousers. In the summer I mostly wear fitted linen or cotton summer dresses which I get from TK Maxx with Woolovers cropped cotton/silk cardigans. In the winter I mostly wear above the knee tube skirts with biker boots or brogues, thick tights and drapey tops. I have to emphasize my waist otherwise I definitely look like an egg.

I got www.landsend.com/products/womens-fit-and-flare-dress/id_280129_48?sku_0=::N9Z this recently (it was on the uk website, doesn't seem to be now) - that sort of style works pretty well. Mostly I wear slimleg jeans and some sort of top. I'm 5'1" size 10 32E but pear-shaped (somehow always kept my waist except when pg obv). DD same height and size but broader-shouldered 'apple'... lives in skinnies but looks great in skater-style dresses - the sale rail at New Look often seems to have some which are the right sort of length (probably meant to be short on a full-sized person) - cheap and cheerful!

Remus I don't think you can give advice about Boden sizing as it is so random.
I recently ordered a 10 and a 12 in the same coloured blouse. I kept the 12 but it was actually significantly small than the 10
I'm sure they put the wrong labels in sometimes.
