I have a wedding to go to next weekend and I cannot for the life of me find a dress. I must have a strangely shaped body because nothing fits right. It's my chest mostly. I'm so frustrated and I feel like I'm out of options. Has anyone been someplace recently that has a great selection of dresses?

I have NO luck ordering online (I just ordered one from J.Crew that I have to return). I have a fairly large mall near me...but I've pretty much tried on every dress in Macy's, Filenes, and Lord & Taylor.

Please help! I'm running out of time.

is your chest larger than the rest of your body? this is my problem and it makes it darn near impossible to find a dress that fits.  my best advice to you is to find a 2-piece dress.  i've gotten pretty ones from nanette lepore and tracey reese, both of which are sold at bloomingdale's.  also, try maxstudio--their stuff is usually a little less fitted in the top part, and you can get the waist and hips taken in.  i hope that helps a littel bit--i feel your pain.

I was having the exact same problem.  Needed a dress for a wedding but couldn't find one because nothing fit correctly (I've got a large chest).  A lot of the dresses that fit would have required a backless bra which wouldn't work for me.  I actually had good luck finding a dress a bloomingdales.  I ended up with a strapless max studio dress that I'm planning to wear either with a sweater or blazer.

Yes...I've got a large chest, and it sucks! I was almost in tears in the dressing room. Ugh!

That's two votes for Bloomingdales. Unfortunately I don't have one near me. I'll check their website and see if there's anything there. Thank you!

Did you try the one from J Crew that I got??  I have a 34D chest and a smaller waist and it fit to pefection.  I'm sorry your not having any luck.  But when you head to the mall think positive.  I find that if I go in there thinking negative then I end up with negative results.  You'll find something! Good luck!

Yeah, I ordered the same dress in Jade. The waist fit perfectly...couldn't get it zipped over the boobs. But you're right. I'm going back to the mall tomorrow and make a fresh start. There has to be something there...thanks.
