prom dress for big boobs - help please!

[Terfarina]

My 16 year old daughter is a classic hourglass - tiny waist and 'blessed' with 28HH boobs. No prom dresses fit. She is usually a size 8, 5' 3" and has had to try on dresses that are way too big in order to fit up top. She needs straps to cover a bra - strapless bras aren't an option.

Has anyone had luck in finding dresses that would suit her body type? She likes long satin & slinky rather than short & full.

Try Bravissimo

Oh I’m sorry they don’t seem to sell dresses anymore

I bought a lovely cocktail dress from them years ago

Would satin separates work to make fitting easier? There were lots of satin skirts around recently, could you find a matching satin camisole?

If I can't find a bra that hides, sometimes I'll make a feature of it instead and wear a very bright contrast bikini top or crop top (shit support but that doesn't matter for one night). Can then match accessories to that colour.

Something cut on the bias would hug her waist while providing a bit more room up top, and a cowl neck with thicker straps could allow a proper bra. This one might be a bit low in the back, but doesn’t look too bad: www.asos.com/gina-tricot/gina-tricot-cowl-neck-low-back-satin-bias-cut-maxi-dress-in-burgundy/prd/207660912#ctaref-more%20colours%20swatches&featureref1-more%20colours%20swatches

that's a beautiful dress.

A tailor might be the solution? x

thank you so much - I have shown her the dress and she loves it!

That is a lovely dress for a prom and looks as if it is fairly straight cut over the waist (some flare out after the bust). If that's the case and its a bit big round the waist then it might be possible for a decent alterations place to take in a little at the sides to bring the waist in
