Flattering jumpers for big bust?

I've lost a lot of weight so am trying to put together a new wardrobe. It should be exciting but I could weep at how awful/frumpy/poor quality everything seems to be atm. I'm a tall size 16 with big boobs and an hourglass figure so chunky knits, oversized and high-necked jumpers and cardigans make me look like a barrage balloon. And it seems like that's ALL there is out there. I also find the endless beige, black and navy options really dreary and unflattering on me - I love colour and pattern! I need fine-knits in a v-neck/square/sweetheart neckline, ideally not in block colours. Am I searching for the impossible? Can anyone recommend any brands I should look into? Thanks!

You can also warm up with a vest - I have a few fairly snug fit with a lace panel that goes across the cleavage, can go under tops and makes cleavage look less in your face or with a thin jumper it's equivalent to a thickish jumper!

before I had a reduction (I was 38H!) I lived in v neck or square neck tops. Mostly from asda/matalan etc
Also 3/4 length sleeves help or push your sleeves up.
Anything with a belted waist or detailing. Wrap tops are ok but you have to watch the girls don’t slip out. I used to put a vest top underneath.
Dark top and light bottoms too

By the way, the Phase Eight cardigan is NOT orange. It's mustard yellow. Hmph.

I'd call it orange lol

No what I meant is the colour in the picture is wrong too. I own it. It's yellow.

The largest bust measurement they have is 41in, that is not especially large bust friendly.

@YouHaveAnArse apologies! I think of myself as large busted but I guess it's all relative.
