Wedding outfit for reluctant teen

[Bohoboo]

Would love some ideas for my 17 year old daughter to wear to a family wedding. She thinks she needs to wear a dress as the other teen girls will be (including her sister). The others are all wearing pale blue or green maxi fitted bodycon dresses. She has an hourglass figure and it is very difficult to find styles that suit her. Anything that fits her round the waist does not fit her bust or hips. It is this Saturday. She is very reluctant to look or go shopping and I am feeling stuck.
Any ideas would be gratefully received. Thank you

I really like the purple top, green skirt for me!

"Pour Moo"

Who appear to be where Next get much of their Fuller Bust range from.

https://www.pourmoi.co.uk/products/bella-fuller-bust-slinky-stretch-tie-sleeve-tea-dress/?styleid=94841 is short enough to escape the "middle-aged" look and green and looks lovely.

Damn you autocorrect!

My shape was like this ( I've got a bit bigger as I've aged) but my go to then and now it's still a maxi skirt and bandeau or a wrap top , maxi.s and Bandeau are very in at the moment and are everywhere and crop wraps I see lots if young girls in ...

Thank you, thats so kind

@oceangreyscale. Thank you. Great inspo

I look forward to seeing what you get!
I love shopping with my nieces (14 and 16) as I get to go into shops I hadn't previously heard of and try on outfits I hadn't thought of. Some of it even works. 😂

One more suggestion! If you can find a dress that’s this style they generally work pretty well - you can size up & then tie the waist a bit tighter. Can also wear whatever bra you want

Wrap dresses are good for small waist and big bust. The only people who poo-poo them are those who don't have the big bust/small waist problem!

This one is pretty...

That’s not for the young people though

I will update you when we find something.

I realise this might not work for teens but just a suggestion.. Dresses for big busts although I think someone else suggested silk fred .https://www.silkfred.com/collection/big-boob-friendly/page/2?filter=1&gadsource=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1ezyl-2DhwMV16NQBh0yVAIlEAAYAiAAEgJoOPDBwE

There is a possible at next - delivery next day. www.next.co.uk/style/ls439392/e05811#e05811

It’s a difficult age for dresses, my dd who is 16 wore this to a recent wedding with a cropped jacket and nice shoes. She doesn’t like anything dressy at all & if not buying second hand she buys from UO

Rather than a suit what about a waist coat and a full skirt?

The link is to a website for larger and older women but I think the look would work on anyone.

At her age, get on Boohoo, Pretty Little Things (have to sift through on those sites but can be worth it) or ASOS. You will find something do not despair!

Edited to add, Quiz can occasionally have a blinder and are very structured.

Dd is hourglass but hates dresses. Just had her prom and wore skinny black trousers, Highish strappy sandals, waistcoat and a really cool mans paisley jacket with black trim. She looked amazing!

We got it all from Vinted so took a while to source. It's a shame you don't have more time to think about what your DD would really like to wear.

Hope it's a fantastic day for you all, anyway.

Surely it's too late to buy from Vinted?

As I said. But maybe a waistcoat, jacket and trousers from a reasonably priced shop nearby? Just suggesting a look......

What did she end up wearing?

@Bohoboo How was the wedding? We'd love to know what she wore!

Hi sorry for not replying. She found a dress she really liked in quiz. Was such a relief. Thank you for all your advice. Dresses with any kind of preformed bust shaping are just a complete no no which ruled out so many. But this one worked well. She sized up so the dress could fit across the bust area. Because it is stretchy material it still fit well elsewhere. The biggest win was that she felt good in it and she could wear one of the bras she liked under it without any alterations. Pic to follow

Oops cross post 🤐

I am so pleased she found one she loved and felt good in!
