School shirts big breasts

I was wondering where posters get school shirts for their DDs with larger breasts.

My DD is very curvy and is still a bit self conscious of it and so doesn’t like shirts that are too fitted.

I usually get the boys plus size shirts from Asda George but the size 17-18 which I usually get is sold out and so is the size smaller, there are no bigger sizes.
They’ve been sold out for a couple months now but I’m not sure where else to look.

She does have a couple from last year which we can use but I was wondering if there is a shop I haven’t tried so she can have new for September.

Is it just a white or light blue shirt?

Then I would try m and s, next, asos

I will have a look at those suggestions. Thank you very much.

I buy DD's from John Lewis' Anyday range. They have a couple of bust sizes, which suit her without drowning her everywhere else.

Actually, sorry, does she need to wear a tie?

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 20/08/2023 15:43

Any good?

I realise they are not cheap!

John Lewis school wear and Quiz do school wear in ladies sizes.

M&S used to do a shirt with concealed extra buttons to avoid gaping, and a small amount of stretch.
John Lewis do a pure cotton shirt for girls that is fitted but gently, so it skims. It does come in slightly at the waist and is flattering I think.

Yes they were called No Peep, they had a hidden placket and they were absolutely marvellous. Frustratingly I think they’ve discontinued the No Peep range now but you might find some on eBay.

They were a great idea, shame they no longer make them. My dd’s are not all that busty but they both like the fact there was no gaping .
OP Eco Outfitters make an organic cotton unisex shirt that isn’t cheap but is really good quality and a generous cut, that might work. https://ecooutfitters.co.uk/shop-73/girls-school-uniform/polo-shirts-unisex.html

Just bought my daughter school blouses from John Lewis & she's very happy with them - went for age above

Buy normal school shirts and dust off your home-ecc skills and do some concealed sewing down both sides of the button strips and she puts it on over her head like a top. Doesn't have to be the whole way down, just over the boobs and a bit of the upper belly so that you catch the gaping when she sits.

Getting larger sizes to accommodate big boobs without gaping always swamps the shoulders/neck area.
