A good alternative to Pepperberry

I am a big-boobed small-waisted person looking for dresses and jumpsuits. I have been looking online and cannot fathom how I will find anything that fits me properly. Any recommendations? I was gutted when Bravissimo stopped their clothing range.

Next do some fuller bust items .. apparently bravissimo staff are recommending them

Yeah, I was gutted when Pepperberry/Bravissimo stopped!
Potentially buy the size that fits your bust then learn how to - or pay someone else to - take in the waist? My mum used to cut curves out of the side of my tops/dresses or put in darts as appropriate.
I bought some fab jumpsuits from Wallis last summer, might be worth a look - the stretch material ones with a wrap over shape (but sewn shut) v neck.

I feel exactly the same, just can’t seem to find anywhere that offers the same type of Fit. Asos do fuller bust but clothing more suitable for clubbing etc Tops big enough to fit my busy tend to make me look boxy…wish Pepperberry still existed :(

Annoying isn't it.

I haven't tried these out yet, but you can look at www.fairliecurved.com and www.alicefawke.com

Also collectif tend to cut for curves if you like a vintage look.

I buy a lot from whistles (sale).
A couple of great jersey French Connection dresses like this one that fit beautifully:

34J here so I have the same issue.

I looked at the asos stuff and just laughed. Maybe if I was 18 but not in my 30s. I'll check out Next although typically don't like their stuff so much
