    Hi Guys,

    I've a very typical hourclass figure. Usually size 12, large chest (30G) , small waist, large bum.

    Find it very difficult to get dresses to flatter my shape, what fits at the waist is tight on chest and bum or if it fits at chest and bum, there's usually alot of lose material around the waist.

    Anything with a high neckline is very unflattering, find strappless often hard to put off, jersey material usually just makes my waist look even smaller and the rest of me huge in comparison.

    Any suggestions? Links of pictures would be great. Mainly looking for going out dresses and some for special occassions.

    Halterneck dresses are great, though they can be a killer on the back of your neck if you have big boobs!

    Thanks guys, especially the Bravissimo link.

    Find halterneck dresses very hard ware as difficulty finding underwear in my size to suit. They do work well with my shape so its a pity

    I find some of the asos.com dresses fit quite well and I'd be quite a similar shape to you. Also found (strangely enough!) that the last few dresses that I've gotten in Penneys have fit great :)

    What i often do is to buy the dress i want so that it fits my bust, then get a seamstress to take it in everywhere else.
