Basically anything that has some tretch in it so if the material isnt stretchy that it has an elastic panel so it allows room for boobs and flatters the waist. Needs to be a v neck usually. I have got a couple of bandau (strapless) dresses that work really well, have had to invest on a strapless bra (I'm a ff cup so not very simple) and gt one from debenhams which is great. Looks OK with the straps on too.

The above re just a few ideas as i dont know about your sze or the occasion.

Hi - Bravissimo do wrap dresses that are very flattering, and they come in size 12, 14 etc, then curvy, very curvy etc depending on cup size.

Might be worth a go?

Ooh, a true hourglass!

I bet that you would also look amazing in the 50s dresses that Vivien of Holloway do with a belt cinching the waist in.

For something a bit more conventional there's Bravissimo

WOW! What a great site. I love tha kind of clothing. Just cant get the hair rigt.

StarOfValkyrie · 13/06/2010 20:33

Ooooh, thank you.

I can't do Bravissimo because I'm a short arse and one boob always finds its way out of the neckline (nipple to shoulder is always far too long), but loving the others.

Can't do Wallis either as fell out with them once when the refused to give me my money back!
