Smart dress for the top heavy - any tips on style of dress/shops?

[yourcarisnotadiscovery]

Hi, I need a smart dress for a week on Saturday. I have tried on everything in my wardrobe but I can't zip up anything at the top. - bottom half fits OK. Not sure if my boobs are that much bigger or whether my ribcage has grown. Any one have any ideas please? I am panicking now! (I will look on Pepperberry - any good?), Thanks in advance for all tips!

Last resort can you zip it up as far as it goes and wear a suit style jacket? I'm like you with the added issue of being short. Boobs are 30GG and I honestly hate them.
If you are slim/fit then a more elastic fabric will be forgiving, think DVF wrap dress? I always have one of those in the wardrobe for those days.

thanks henrysmtcat wrap dress a good idea and I think some of the DVF ones have a modesty panel - gives a bit more room without the gape! unfortunately, there will be lots of photos so I have to be able to zip up to the top.

I find these very good. If I'm unfit, I still a spanx on and I'm ready. I have these in different colours over the years. THey lasted me well. I have items from 6-7 years ago still looking good with a bit of handwash.
