With the Chelsea Flower Show approaching, finding a floral dress that flatters a larger bust can be a challenge. Poorly fitting necklines and ill-placed waistbands can ruin an otherwise elegant outfit. However, several retailers offer styles designed to accommodate fuller busts, combining support with summer-ready prints.
Shirred bodices are a top choice for larger chests, as they stretch to fit without straining. The Vero Moda floral midi dress, available at ASOS, features a shirred bodice with broad straps, ideal for hot weather. Similarly, Roman's breezy midi dress has a square shirred neckline that fits all bust sizes, with frill cap sleeves for upper arm coverage.
Fat Face's dress offers a generous fit with a gathered waist for extra room in the bodice, while Next's floral shirt dress has been specifically designed for fuller busts and is currently 50% off. For those who prefer to accentuate their bust, Hope & Ivy's sweetheart neckline dress comes in sizes 10 to 28, providing an elegant silhouette.
Pink City Prints' smocked bodice dress accommodates various bust sizes with a fitted shape and loose, flowy skirt. These options ensure comfort and style for the flower show or summer weddings.
