I have been on a lockdown health kick and lost two stone hoping to lose another by Christmas. Started as an 18, hoping to be a comfortable 14.

I really want to treat myself to a posh frock for Christmas Day.

I am curvy hourglass, big busted, 5 foot 9

Need to wear a good bra, so no low back. Prefer sleeves, prefer mid or knee length.

Budget can go up to High end as really had a crappy year and want to spoil myself

Any ideas please??

Any of these any good? I’m a size 14 and these on paper are what I’ve got my eye on at the moment!

I’d wear all with long black boots, probably a black belt and definitely a good bra!

That dress is fantastic (I dropped two sizes and re-bought the dress in a smaller size, I liked it so much). If you are comfortable 14 take size 16 (I am the same size).

Massimo Dutti dresses are not made for busty ladies, unfortunately. I tried many, many times to buy a dress from them and it just doesn't fit.

Check out Bombshell as well.

I’m a 36C so not tiny busted and I get away with Massimo Dutti dresses - depends on the style & cut like anything really!
