Clothes that actually fit women with large breasts

I had a thoroughly demoralising shopping trip yesterday and came home feeling like a freak - nothing i tried on fitted me and I am fed up of wearing boring clothes just because they are the only things that don't look utterly ridiculous.

I am 34gg and usually wear size 12 at the bottom and size 16 at the top.

I thought maybe those of us with similar proportions (assuming that I'm not the only one out there) could pool our resources and put up links to any clothes that work for us. My only contribution is the nice (but still slightly dull) beach dress that I bought yesterday. The crinkly type fabric and tie waist means that even in a size 16 this fits me all the way. Everything else made me look pregnant.

Oasis blue dress

have you looked at the clothes from bravissimo

You sound like a pocket Jessica Rabbit, hubba hubba

another vote for bravissimo, I have 2 great dresses from there. I wish they did more casual stuff though!

I find tunics with a low neck ok on me, and wrap dresses (although generally have to go a size up)

I love the idea of bravissimo, but I find most of their clothes really dull. Can you link to the ones that look good on?

I have this one in purple from last year which I'd give about 7/10, but can't find anything that I like this year. Is there really nothing in the "normal" shops?

grumpyfrumpy I know what you mean about fitted jackets. I am resigned to wearing them open and being cold!

I gave up looking for a smart jacket and got a smartish red trench with a belt.

My super curvy colleague has a fab suit from Bravissimo, and it looks gorgeous on - it's the one with the fluted back. She also loves the Tellin dress from FCUK - which is very flattering indeed
