Fellow big breasted women, I need YOUR help! Let's find flattering Summer styles.

Hello,

I am starting this thread after one too many failed shopping orders for Summer dresses! I am a 34 KK and have bras sorted (Bravissimo is fab!). Why is it SO hard to find summer dresses that are cut for big boobs?

After much failure, I think I need scoop/v-neck dresses that are tighter on the bodice and flow out to midi length. Love a bit of a sleeve too as it makes hiding bra straps easier. Having had two babies, I am bigger than I was and a 14/16 now so looser stuff that still nips in at the waist is better. I am just finding it so hard! Wraps do not work for me and buttons often gape and I feel like it's so hard not to look frumpy with a huge boobs.

Next don't seem to cut for bigger boobs and sizing up makes the shoulder area look ridiculous! Tried Joules but the same thing applies. Thinking about HUSH maybe but it's pricey. Has anyone found any real gems that fit the above criteria? Help! Here are some I am thinking of trying...

Wearing a long tall sally vest today, I bought this in 2 x black, 2 x stripe and 1 x navy when they were closing as it's such a nice fit. V neck, doesn't show bra under armpits and has a v at the back too

Grateful for this thread!

I'm 34G and all my best fitting bras send bulges up to my armpits which I absolutely loathe to catch sight of on myself if I dare to wear a 'strappy top'.

So yet again, this summer I find myself starting off with good intentions of not caring and just enjoying it..but then feel crap when I look back at pictures etc.

I'm still 19 and effortlessly slim in my head with perky 34c'sConfused

Really love so many of the suggestions so thank you!

Update: the sun came out! I wore my green amani dress! I swished like a boss! My boobs didn't fall into the starter! All is well!

So fellow big breasted ladies, what are your suggestions for autumn? Summer seems to be over already. I loved the Hush Amani.

I did manage to find the holy grail of maxi dresses. Fits boobs and waist and is long enough for me at 5ft 10!
Dorothy Perkins tall range (they do other lengths) and it's under roll sleeve maxi dress. Waist is shirred, and I bought two colours

That looks lovely NotMyCat. I don't think to look in Dotty Ps.

Their tall range tops and dresses I find the best. I'm 5ft 10 anyway but it gives me more room that boobs take up! Wearing a scoop neck t shirt today from house of neon which fits nicely and is pretty flattering

Yes, I've bought Next Tall dresses previously for the same reason, but as I'm 5ft 5 they tend to be a bit long.
