Summer dress help

12 replies

starsinyourpies · 19/05/2024 09:01

Hi clever people.

I am in search of a couple of summer dresses I can just chuck on that work with my body... I am trying to be body positive but it is hard sometimes!

I have huge boobs and a bit of a tummy so tiered dresses are actually ok on me if a bit tenty. I am tall.

Drawstring waists suit me. Would prefer sleeveless but all dresses I have looked at seem to have a high neck (doesn't work with the boobs) or be just strappy which I don't want.

Help please!

Possibly fabulous:

This appears traditional but as they specialise in larger sizes the proportions might work better for you than most other brands:

Don’t know if this might appeal? Marvellous fabric. Could always belt it.

(I have no connection to Marina Rinaldi at all - just think their dresses might work well for you.)

Thanks good inspo there if a bit out of the everyday budget (sorry I should have specified!) would pay up to £100-150.

I've just posted this on another thread. I'm not on commission, honestly, but I've only just discovered Seasalt and their dresses are beautiful.

Ooh I forgot them! And 20% off at the moment. Have added a couple to my basket.

I like this shape but not the colour! Will look at the other colours, thank you.
