Wrap dresses and boobs/gaping

I have just bought this dress:

www.fatface.com/women/clothing/dresses-skirts/martha-jungle-floral-wrap-dress/933899.html?dwvar_933899_color=steel

It's really lovely and I love the colours but it gapes a bit around the cleavage area and keeps showing a bit of my bra. It's going to annoy me if I constantly have to adjust it.

Not sure whether to return or if there is anything I can do about the gaping...?

I think a hook might work. I recently bought a wrap dress for my DD an that has a button and loop. I also recently bought one for me. It is orange and white and I have solved the problem by wearing a white lacy vest top underneath it.

I wear a cropped tube top under. Never wear them along, always under stuff like that.

Ah I see that a pp has already linked to the ones I get from Topshop. Works very well

I wear a uniqlo airism vest top under wrap dresses - they are really really thin and lightweight, so they don't show up lines underneath the dress.

Going to get those Topshop bandeau tops. What’s sizing like. Im a 10, but with big boobs. So would usually get 10 for vest tops etc but don’t want squashed boobs!

I have this dress, I love it.

The ruffle on the front hides easily a little safety pin which I wore last night, felt very comfortable and no excess boobage showing at all.

Nothing to add to the advise already given, but just to say that dress is gorgeous!

In the hot weather I was wearing a wrap dress which needed a vest underneath but I couldn’t bear to wear another layer so I just chopped the bottom half of a cheap Primark vest top I had. Worked really well, was cheap as chips, didn’t squash my boobs as I already knew the vest top fitted and I wasn’t worried it would roll down. Actually I was a bit worried it would roll up so tucked the bottom of it under the bottom band of my bra Smile
