Summer dresses big boobs

I see so many lovely ditsy floral summer strappy or oversized dresses but that they don't really suit my figure. I'm 12-14 with narrow shoulders but big boobs 30gg. Am I condemned to wear jersey dresses or can I wear anything trendy? Any ideas?

I have a similar bra size (28H) and it is trial and error. I find dresses with a wrap style or button up bodice tend to have more bust room . Some brands cut better for a fuller cup than others.
I do love loose, smock type dresses but they can hang straight off my bust and make me look much bigger than I am.
Look for something that nips in again under the bust. What is your budget ?

Prob up to about £50-60 if I could find something I really like. Which ones do you mean with a button up bodice? Thanks

I find that anything with darts the darts usually sit in the wrong place! I know what you mean about them making you look bigger. I find this as well.

I'm a similar size, size 12, 30FF. As a pp said it really is trial and error. I order a lot of dresses to try on at home and if I'm lucky have 1 or 2 that suit my shape. Totally understand the pp saying some styles hang off the boobs and make you look bigger. Basically makes it look like your stomach protrudes as much as your breasts which thank god isn't the case. I've had problems finding summer tops this season for that reason as a lot of current styles are really shapeless. I've just bought this dress from urban outfitters and it fitted perfectly and is really flattering

Have you looked on bravissimo?

Thanks for the ideas. I've ordered about 6 different styles to try. Hopefully one of them will be OK!!
