Dressing Big Bust

Greyhound22 · 16/08/2018 19:19

Evening,

I'm a bit (lot) stressed at the moment. I'm heavier than I want to be and feel like I've really lost any sense of style after having my son.

I'm 5'1 and a 14 - hoping to get back down to a 10/12 but my major issue is my 34FF's.

I could cry. I buy good quality clothes and when I see photos (which I try to avoid) I just look frumpy. Problem is I like skinny styles with high necklines and they just don't suit my shape.

I don't like frills, patterns or fussy. I like classic looks. I love bretons (I know) but can't see any nice scoop neck ones to suit me better.

Any suggestions? I'd love a capsule wardrobe - I just keep buying stuff - seeing myself in it and getting rid of it

I'm the same. I'm a size 14 and have a 32HH bust, and struggle so much (especially in the summer) to find clothes that suit. Personally I love bretons and find that 3/4 sleeve ones with a boatneck suit me and don't make my bust any larger. I also really like them, which I think is important too. Smile But anything with frills, flowers, embroidery, ruffles - forget it.

I have a similar body shape and have had compliments when I've bought carefully chosen Pepperberry (Bravissimo) clothing.
