Bravissimo dresses

Anyone had a dress from Bravissimo?

I've had huge problems (two in fact on my chest) trying to find dresses for two weddings I'm going to in the next few months. I've been getting really upset about it because they won't fit around my boobs as they are out of proportion to the rest of me. I'm overweight and already finding clothes upsets me as I've put on more weight during the last year but I tend to wear stretchy tops in my size which I can squeeze my boobs into.

Anyway, H was watching TV last night and saw an advert for Bravissimo. He then went on their website and wanted to show me their range of dresses as he thinks he might have helped find a solution and something to cheer me up (he gets so upset about seeing me upset about clothes). I've ordered one that is for people who are extra curvy at the top. Fingers crossed.

    I got one for a wedding - it was this one /collections/all-clothing/ and it's fab.

    We have a bravissimo shop in Edinburgh so I was able to try it on first. It was just so lovely to be able to wear a dress that fitted. Which one did you go for?

    Hopefully it will be perfect then. Another thing that contributes to the problem is that I have a long upper body and often dresses have a seam across that's meant to fit under the boobs and they tend to slice across mine IYSWIM. Hopefully the added room at the top will prevent that problem somewhat.

    I've gone for this one: /collections/all-clothing/ in the teal as displayed. I'm hoping its not really hot as its long sleeved.

    There's a shop in Newcastle but it's not very big so I'm not sure if it has the dresses. I'm going to go there tomorrow to have a look so I might be able to try some others on if they have them. I liked quite a few of the styles but a few of them are only in red and black. I have to be careful with the shade of red cos I'm very pale and have a little bit of red in my blonde hair so some shades are too OTT.

    Oooh lovely. I liked that one too but loved the green too much. I hope they have the clothes and you can try some on. It really makes clothes shopping enjoyable again when you know there is a chance that they will fit and actually look good.?

    I have had a couple of tops from Bravissimo. One which is an absolute favourite and I wear to death, and one not so good. I really like this Bravissimo dress http://www.bravissimo.com/products/clothing/dresses-and-skirts/bravissimo/bq02-details.aspx but I am already sorted out for my next couple of dressy occasions. The teal and green ones are lovely too.

    I tried that one on and even the extra super the curviest there has ever been curvy wasn't curvy enough for me and it wouldnt do up.? I found that the semi tailored ones had more give in them fabric wise so went for one of them. I just wish they made more clothes and I'd never need to shop anywhere else ever again.

    I have had a few shirts and they are great - all normal shirts in my size gape around the bust but the ones from here actually fasten properly, so hopefuly your dress will fit nicely.

    The staff in Newcastle are lovely, have been there a few times.

    They had a lady on THIS MORNING wearing a bravissimo dress with the same problem as you and she looked fantastic in the dress, they might still have it on the this morning website. www.itv.com/thismorning
