DD (21) needing dress for wedding for bigger bust

DD has been looking for a while. Wants something that's not sleeveless but needs to accommodate larger bust - but she is still a UK size 8. Looked at both of these but didn't suit her on top.

2nd one also managed to make her hips look quite large!

Thanks @BriannaBurlesque DD likes it so have ordered. Hope it does the job! It's annoying that in general the models on websites for 'younger' styles seem to have no boobs and no hips!

Most Uk clothes tend to accommodate the pear shaped figure better than an hourglass type figure. Ruffled skirts like this usually don't look great on an hourglass as they need to be more fitted over the hips. Dresses that flare (but without ruffles/pleats) will sit a lot more attractively.

Maybe something like these: (caveat sometimes the brands have space sometimes they don't but I've had luck with asos before). www.asos.com/miss-selfridge/miss-selfridge-sweetheart-ruched-midi-dress-in-oversized-blue-floral/prd/203912617?colourWayId=203912629&cid=50597

Or this because the shirting will stretch and the flare isn't on the hips..

Thanks @winepleasenotwhine. DD likes the first one but unfortunately ASOS won't let us add it to the basket so I assume now out of stock.
