  I have this problem sometimes too, I usually get around it by wearing a vest top underneath the dress (in a complimenting colour, obviously!) so that I'm not spilling out all over the place!! Could be an idea?
  
  I've started going for scoop necklines rather than v-shape too, a little more secure without being frumpy

  Collectif dresses are good for the busty.

  I am really big busted also and dislike showing too much cleavage as it can look tarty. I found this dress and it looked good on as it has a fishtail cut and I know you said you wanted something that didn't show as much cleavage but I don't like round necks and find v-necks do give the illusion of a slightly smaller boob and it balances me out on top:

  They also do it in a shorter length:

  Both are really nice on and really flatter an hour glass shape. I can discreetly pin a small safety pin on the inside of the v-neck too so it just helps hide a bit more cleavage but still has enough on show to look good (not tarty and cheap)
  
  Also, check out celeb boutique. Dresses are amazing and really suit curves / hour glass shapes

  Perhaps try a dress with a scoop neck that isn't too low. I can't post a link right now but I'll try and come back tomorrow to give an example. I have just ordered one you see, though it isn't a really dressy number - just a plain dress you can dress up. I have however seen others which are dressier so I'll come back to this thread!
  
  I have relatively big boobs though they're not enormous, so I know what you mean. I often find v-shaped necks the worst and I dislike high necks which can make boobs look huge in a different way, or they can look frumpy.

  Ok, so not that I am advocating this dress because I actually don't like the colours and pattern, but purely for the neck line what about something like this:
  
  http://www.boohoo.com/day-dresses/phoebe-leopard-bodycon-dress/invt/azz40702
  
  Or this:
  http://www.boohoo.com/going-out-dresses/tina-sequin-panel-v-back-bodycon-dress/invt/azz42885
  
  So the neck line isn't high but it also isn't a deep V - I suppose it's called a scoop neck or something though they're often not a deep scoop. There are loads of dresses with variations on these neck lines.
  
  Alternatively you can get V necks which aren't too deep - e.g. http://www.boohoo.com/new-in/faye-animal-jacquard-v-neck-bodycon-dress/invt/azz36844
  
  Sorry I've just used Boohoo as I know they have a lot of dresses so I knew I'd be able to find an example! I was purely looking for necklines rather than recommending the dresses themselves. There are probably some other variations you can find - I only looked at the first two pages.

  What about a square neck? This is pretty.

  Go to Navabi.co.UK and find the kiyonna dress with sweetheart neckline. I have it and it is perfect and so flattering.

  Have a look at Phase Eights web site.
  They have some nice frocks this season.
  I am a size 10 waist and hips as a rule but size 14 bust, I manage to carry off their size 12 dresses ok.
