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.
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.
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.
