Where to find summer wedding guest dresses for fuller bust and smaller hips?

My daughter is looking for a dress for a summer wedding and is having difficultly finding a good fit. Shes 25 and anything that fits her bust is matronly, frumpy and old fashioned and swamps her waist and hips.
She has a 34 F/G bust and a size 10/12 bottom half.
Any ideas where to look?

I have a similar figure so I know the struggle! You could try looking at Bravissimo dresses on Ebay?

New Look have some nice, long summer dresses at the moment, in particular their Apricot brand. I've also previously bought a dress that fits my bust and then sewn ribbon ties onto it so you can tighten it at the back and it gives you a waist. It's very frustrating!

Surely she either:

Buys a dress to fit her top half and has it altered to fit her waist and hips.

Or:

Buys separates. She could make an equally stylish outfit with a jacket / top and skirt / trousers.
