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

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.

Thanks, Bakeoff.

I think Boden generally comes up quite big but it can be a total lottery. Specific to ravello tops the gathering means they're particularly generous on bust and do the bust to waist/hip ratio is way off.

£6 is impressive price though. Mine were £49 and I could cry over the quality cos they're otherwise great tops

Following with interest! I'm 5ft, size 12-14 and 32 E. Can never find shirts that button up!

Great thread! I'm 5ft, 12/14, 34 E. I struggle to find tops that are too fitted and make me look chubby, or too loose and tent-like.

I've got 34 J or K boobs - I wear faux wrap jersey or scoop/shift dresses every day. I get them from phase eight, house of Fraser, Boden, white company mostly.

I'm sure you all already know about it but Pepperberry have had some decent work shirts - this was a fair few years ago though. I've had a couple of dresses from there too but in general find it overpriced and too long

I've never seen any Pepperberry stuff that I like the look of, unfortunately. Is it worth another look?

Whispering - yes, for £6 it would have been silly not to buy it! I do fancy a black one. Might wait for a code/pay day and give one a go in a size 14, but I wonder if it might then be too big on the shoulders?
