Short , fat , huge bosom , need a new maxi dress for a Special occasion

[Tigertigertigertiger]

That’s it really.
I’m 5’4” , About 13 stone , massive bosom .
I would like a maxi dress with a low neckline ( anything else looks terrible with my big bosom) in a stretchy drapey fabric. I have a casual special occasion coming up

I like the Dawn O’porter 70s stuff but reviews aren’t great .

please mumsnetters , can you help ?

How much to spend?

This Australian brand is pricey but they have the most beautiful dresses for big bosoms. Anything in bamboo is their range is stretchy/drapey.

Does it have to be maxi OP?

Ghost dresses drape wonderfully and work with big boobs. This one v nice Ghost maxi dress

Thanks everyone.
@Wheelyweddingwipedout I prefer maxi dresses as I’m never sure where to put my legs 😳

@learieonthewildmoor those are lovely ! Sadly out of my price range. I coulld stretch to about £100

@Figgyroller that’s a beautiful dress. I think I need a pattern though .

has anyone bought Dawn O Porter dresses ?

Roman had a lot of maxi dresses when I was looking for one for a wedding earlier this year.

Not clear what clothing size you wear, @Tigertigertigertiger ?

I have one of the Joanie/Dawn dresses and really like it - there are better fabrics out there for sure, but the bright print stands up to a good wash and the cut of the dress is really forgiving/welcoming of a curvy body.

What size are you

I can be anything from a 16 -20

Scarlett and Jo are great.

Search satin wrap dress on new look. I have in 3 colours. Im 5 ft 3 and its a perfect length. Its a fake wrap so hides the belly and fits well on the boobs. And is true to size :)

Shamelessly watching for inspiration. Op you are my body twin and I have a (scary to dress for) party coming up!

I don't think maxi dresses suit this body shape. How about a knee length dress and wear sheer tights or opaque depending on the occasion.

I'd go for a shirred midi dress

I'm 5"2 and size 16 / 36hh

I've not got this but I tend to buy this style from Simplybe

I got one from Roman in the spring for a wedding. I wouldn't normally go there but spotted it through the window! It had a higher neckline than you are after but it fitted so well (I'm a similar size/shape) I bought it on the spot.

Similar size and Scamp and Dude are my go to - like this one with a deep V neck scampanddude.com/products/adults-v-neck-tiered-maxi-dress-black-with-electric-blue-and-pink-snow-leopard-and-lightning-bolt?variant=42114542928051&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqoibBhDUARIsAH2OpWhHE3EooOvY5-A3CvAtzp7u6DgtZ4Z_JVXzAMEOkJerM-s8gPQMwGQaAhVgEALw_wcB

Take a look at Deadly @Tigertigertigertiger

Believe me, maxi dresses are the most flattering/ least horrible dress for my shape 😬

This company is amazingly good for those blessed in the chest region. I know this maxi is plain, but the fabric and design are very flattering.
