How to find the perfect DD+ dress for summer
Looking for the perfect summer dress to fit your larger bust? Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has the perfect solution.
Looking for the perfect summer dress to fit your larger bust? Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has the perfect solution.
Finding a dress that flatters your larger bust can be difficult, often dresses can leave your bra showing, squeeze your bust and just be ill-fitting in general.
However, there are a few things you can look out for that will make dress shopping easier.
The V-neck is a very flattering neckline, as it gives more space to your chest, however, don’t rule out the square neckline either, as well as being a modern neckline, it will also give your bust the space it needs.
The Empire line fits are super flattering too, you just need to make sure they fit under your bra so your bust will look flattering before the rest of the dress rubs against your body.
Wrap style dresses are also a great option, but be sure to look for an added popper detail so you don’t have to use a safety pin to hold the dress in place and keep your bra from showing.
Extra gathered details at the back will also give the dress more room to stretch around the chest.
And if you’re looking for a backless dress, make sure there’s one with a tie detail in the back that means you can still wear a bra.
If all of this sounds like something you’re interested in, here at Fabulous we’ve created a collection specifically designed for DD+ breasts that ticks all of these boxes.

However, while the garment glowed with mostly positive reviews, not everyone was raving about the dress, which reportedly fits true to size.
One customer, who gave the dress just three stars, warned: “It’s one of those blouses that you have to keep tying the belt and rearranging.
”The fabric wrinkles.”
Shoppers can bag the fabulous dress in sizes XS to XL, however, some sizes are sold out at some retailers so it’s best to check them all out to avoid any disappointment.
