Who makes clothing that just fits beautifully if you're top heavy?

I like Me&Em style trousers, long flowing etc I'm fed up of mainstream it's hard to get things that fit well, I'm large of nork and my shoulders are a little broader than my hips mostly I'm all up top from the stomach up. Very short body, no waist I'm basically hips, ribs then tits. I'm mostly leg.

Wide leg balances me out but no idea how to dress the top half, can't wear anything belted at all.

Where makes beautiful clothing that drapes and fits in all the right places?

I love Emily & Fin but mainly for their dresses rather than separates. Currently being tempted by the Florence Oranges dress...

Bravissimo (under their clothes line Pepperberry).

I find more grown up shops are better for topheavy, as the shops aimed at teenagers often have quite straight-up-and-down silhouettes in mind. Recently i’ve bought nice things from Wallis, Barber and Phase Eight.

I am a similar shape to you & like Baukjen - I have a couple of Ella tops which are generous across the bust but tapered in at the waist so can be dressed up or down, and also the Tabitha too which is a very flattering shape on me - a wrap style but again fitted at the waist.

Yes Baukjen tops are good, for example Ella, Aria and Spenser.

Thank you, I like some of the Baukjen styles.
