so frustrated trying to find summer dresses

that will fit my tata's. I am very large on top and much smaller on the bottom. I order dresses left and righ and NONE of them fit my boobs without being huge everywhere else. I want cute dresses to wear around.

HELP ME

1. Invest in camisoles!
2. Stop shopping in the juniors department Chat Icon

I got some cute ones at NY and Company - they fit me on top but are very low cut so I have to wear lace trim camis underneath.

Re: so frustrated trying to find summer dresses

Dude, I stopped shopping juniors years ago. Ugh, I hate cami's under dresses but I guess I have no choice, right?

LB, are you tall? I don't remember. I am short so how is the length?

You're not that much shorter than me! I have a very short torso so the dresses always come down my leg more... I'm 5'4"+ (not quite 5'5")

Re: so frustrated trying to find summer dresses

It's funny, I'm very small on top (A cup!) and I have a hard time finding summer dresses that work for me too. I usually wear a bra that gives me a little help in that department Chat Icon and I hate strapless bras, so a lot of the spaghetti strap/strapless options don't work for me.

Re: so frustrated trying to find summer dresses

I would buy dresses that fit the top and then have the rest of the dress fitted at a tailor.

I feel your pain. If you don't mind spending a bit of money (the exchange rate is a killer these days!), you could try Pepperberry:

Pepperberry


I've not ordered from the clothing division, but I get their catalog (since I've ordered from Bravissimo, their undergarment division). I can't attest to the quality of the clothing, but it's a GREAT concept... wish we had something similar here in the US (maybe we do???)

Good luck!

Re: so frustrated trying to find summer dresses

why dont you but bandeau tube tops and put them under the dresses. I use them to conceal the girls in low dresses and shirts and it gets rid of the bulk an annoyance of a cami
