Just got over a full hysterectomy and on mega doses of HRT. So ... of course I've sorted everyone else's outfits on on a nil budget. This morning came to try on my good ol wedding dress and my boobs have grown so much with the HRT it won't go round me.
What can I do girls? have very little money to spend, but so chuffed my friend has asked me to do a reading and be a witness, I want to look good for her. But the boobs are an issue as it now makes me a size 18 and I still have a jelly belly from the op.
PLEASE any suggestions very welcome

If it doesnt fit it doesn't fit unfortunately.
Can you borrow/ebay/charity shop for something?

mumski · 29/09/2009 21:06

What I think I really need is suggestions of a dress or style which would suit me. I'm useless at shopping for myself and could do with a push in the right direction.
Would gladly E bay ect if I knew what to look for.

I hope that you feel better soon, Mumski.

Wrap dresses always work for me when my boobs are bigger than usual. You can always wear a cami top underneath to cover your cleavage up a bit. They are usually pretty forgiving on the stomach area as well.

I guess that charity shops or Ebay are your best chance for a teeny budget.

I noticed this dress on Ebay earlier which is an 18:
Monsoon Sorcha

Fenn Wright Manson wrap dresses are lovely - good quality material and therefore very flattering.
FWM wrap

Agree with the wrap dress suggestion.

FWM dresses are lovely and very forgiving. I'd also only go with a fixed wrap as often they're draped slightly over the tummy area. If it's not fixed I find that to get the dress to feel securely tied it can be quite tight and doesn't look flattering.

Monsoon dresses aren't very generous in the norks area.

Yes a wrap looks a good idea.
just seen this on e bay:

Lovely but mutton and lamb?

Do you love your arms? If not, cheaper to avooid sleeveless and the cost of a jacket/shrug etc.

I can't see that dress having much give in it, so norks might be an issue.

This should be very flattering and it's a good (expensive) brand:

Artigiano wrap

bravissimo have dresses for big boobs, could try that on ebay, have a look at their website for how the curvy super curvy sizing works.

I have a number of their tops which are really flattering.
