I totally get it. My bigger chest prevents me from fitting in clothes that fit my hips and waist.
Could you arrange a night out with this same group of college friends and wear a more casual, going-out-dress that makes you feel as equally amazing?0 -
As somebody who has always had a shape that is difficult to dress off the rack (very hourglass, so nothing at the waist ever fits), all I can tell you is to find a good seamstress or tailor and realize you have to buy the size that fits the largest part of you. I know that doesn't help you in this situation. I think the best idea is to look for a gown with a A line skirt (if I had your bod, I'd even do a pencil, cause you have a nice shape on the lower half) with a fair amount of stretch to accommodate the ladies. When I look at your profile photo, you don't look top heavy, you actually look lovely and shapely.0

I'm 6', not out of the ordinary at all. However, I have legs the length of someone who should be 6'4" or taller. My arms are much the same.
Going anywhere but mid-to-high-end clothing stores basically results in me spending 3-4 hours looking for something that might fit, just to end up being disappointed and walking out empty-handed.
My only option for finding clothes that fit really well is to go to a place where shirts are $50 or more which is a big waste of money, seeing how I'm trying to lose weight.
That's me, too, but on a small scale since I'm 5'3". I have an annoyingly short torso. Drives me nuts - I'll find a dress that looks great and initially appears to fit perfectly, but nooooo. The shoulders are at least an inch, if not two, elevated above my actual shoulders. The back of the neck, too.
Point being, we get it, OP. It sucks to know that you're probably going to have to have clothes altered, or spend a stupid amount of time to find the oddball item that fits. As if just finding something that's flattering doesn't already take a stupid amount of time.0 -
If you have more weight to lose, there is the possibility that some of it could start coming off the breast area. We all lose weight differently, and it comes off where it wants to, when it wants to, so that area may be last on its list. theres no way of knowing until you get there though... However, me being small chested, I do sometimes wish I had bigger boobs lol. We all wish we have something we don't have. Love it, and flaunt it girl! heheh0

What about a different bra? I'm 36D and love all kind of clothing and I have learn with time that the bra really matter. Tuck those babies well you can be suprise !!!!0

I totally get it. I'm a 36G on top but a us size 10 on the bottom. Shopping is tough for me, especially for dresses. I usually just get the bigger size. Sometimes I have it taken it, but honestly my real problem is the fact that I'm 6'1", so that everything is always too short anyway. So I get the bigger size because it's usually longer. Over the years I'm learning to love my body, and I hope you do too. I think you're beautiful!0

That dress is gorgeous!! I wish I had a chest
I'm shaped like a little boy. 0 -
Decided to go with this one I think
You look fabulous in this dress!
I could NEVER wear a dress like that because I have NO boobs (36A, barely). We are so critical of ourselves; people see us so differently.
I sincerely hope you feel good in the dress and have a wonderful time at the wedding!

I have this issue, too, and an event coming up in August.
I'm an 8, with 32G boobs. I went with this:
For $23.00 off of Amazon. I feel like I won the lotto because it doesn't even look terrible.0 -
@cvstokke that dress looks beautiful on you. And I feel your pain. XXL or xl on top and even at my heaviest 14 on the bottom.
My wedding dress was a 22W to fit them.
@TheVirgoddess that dress looks beautiful as well.

You're so sweet. Everyone has been so nice but this resonated especially. I'll think of you all tomorrow at the event 0 -
You look beautiful. The way I see it is that we should all focus on what we love and enjoy about our bodies, while working on the things we can with acceptance and respect for our own body type. And then also admire and enjoy the diversity of beauty in other women's bodies. Without comparison (unless in just a curiosity way). Woman sure are beautiful in all different ways. Taking a life drawing class with nude models (or being the model) is helpful as well. Don't let clothing get you down about your body. The problem is the clothes, not your body. As others said, go to a tailor. I hope you have fun!0
