Dress help ! cleavage issue
Hi all ,
I am looking for a nice dress for the festive period which is at least to the knee and something that suits curves . Simple you may think but I am a bit big boob wise ![]() and find a lot of dresses that are meant to show a bit actually show too much cleavage , the thing is also I hate things too high to the neck so looking for something that is not low low but not high enough it touches my chin !I have looked online but with Christmas approaching I feel like I am attached to searching gifts and dresses so this is my SOS call Anyone spotted anything nice ? Thanks

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:
http://www.next.co.uk/gl0608s2#l22144gl0 They also do it in a shorter length: http://www.next.co.uk/gl0518s9#l22037gl0 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/ph.../invt/azz40702 Or this: http://www.boohoo.com/going-out-dres.../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-an.../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. |

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. |
