A WRAP dress is a wardrobe favourite for many women thanks to its ease, versatility and power to create the illusion of an hourglass shape.
But women with big boobs have often grappled with the design because of gaping around the bust that flashes their bra.
Introducing the ‘Paloumi’ dress, part of the Fabulous Fuller Bust Collection, that has been designed specifically for women with DD+ boobs.
Fabulous’ Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale commented: “You can look stylish in an instant by throwing on a wrap dress this summer.
Some lucky Fabulous readers got an exclusive sneak peak at the collection. Here's what they thought...
“Finally there is a clothing collection that is stylish, comfy and made with quality fabrics, perfect for women with DD+ boobs.”
“I haven’t had to compromise on either style or fit, which is what I always wanted.”
“It looks so expensive on and feels such good quality for what you’re paying. I’d live in this dress all summer long!”
“I feel like the collection enhances what I have, rather than covering my boobs up.”
“I’m a size 16 and it’s so lovely to find clothes that are true to size. This is figure-skimming, but not clingy.”
“Big-boobed women need to snap up our zebra-print wrap that has a secret popper, meaning there’s no chance of your bra showing.”
Priced at £45, the monochrome animal-print midi dress features tie-detailing around the waist and elegant short sleeves.
Dress it up for special occasions with metallic accessories, or down for daytime with neutral shoes and a bag.
Liz Alexander, a midsize fashion influencer, who is a size 38E, commented: “I think in terms of what the high-street offers big-busted women, it’s very generic.
“Wrap dresses are the best option, and even then the fit is never perfect.
“However, the wrap dress from the Fabulous Fuller Bust Collection had a concealed button to keep it from gaping.”
She added: “For once I wasn’t worried about being on display because everything felt very secure and I didn’t feel like I was having to adjust anything.
“I felt like the clothes enhanced what I have rather than simply covering my boobs up.”
Meanwhile, Fabulous reader Paulomi, 44, commented: “Looking for clothes to fit my bigger bust has always been a struggle.
“I can never shop online because I have to try everything on to make sure it fits. I will have to try ten dresses to find one that will fit.
“Generally I will buy a size bigger than I am so that it will fit my bust but it won’t fit well anywhere else. It’s a real challenge.
“Fabulous’ new collection is an amazing solution. I love what I have worn today, I didn’t even need to look in the mirror to know it looked good because the compliments came flooding in as soon as I got dressed.”
Abby McHale, Fabulous’ Deputy Fashion Editor, commented: “From the outset, sustainability was important to us.
“Considering that 30 percent of products globally are destined for landfill before they’ve even left a warehouse, we’ve decided to only start making our clothes once orders have been placed.
“This means your order will take a little longer than what you’re used to (four to six weeks), but we’re hoping you think, like we do, it’s worth the wait.
“We also ensure factory workers are paid bonuses from the collection, plus we work with the charity, Pratham, in India to fund education centres for kids in migrant areas.
“Buying a dress can support a child’s education for two months.”
Two-in-three Fabulous readers with size DD+ boobs struggle to find clothes that fit.
And, four in five women told us that the clothes they usually buy are often too tight, gape, show their bra straps or have low necklines.
Now Fabulous, The Sun’s lifestyle brand for women, has launched the Fuller Bust Collection, its first fashion line, which aims to solve readers’ style woes.
The limited-edition, seven-piece summer capsule range features five dresses and two tops, all of which have been designed with the help of more than 2,500 readers.
Readers have been part of the design process via Facebook, WhatsApp, email and our website.
They’ve helped make key decisions on everything from the prints and colours, to the style and fit.
Meanwhile, specialist designers have made essential clothing tweaks – including hidden poppers, shirred fabric detailing and additional lining – to make the problem of dressing a big bust a thing of the past.
Abby says: “Even though I’m surrounded by clothes 24/7 in my job, I constantly struggle to get things to fit my 34G bust – until now.
“The readers’ input to this collection has been invaluable and together we’ve made a range that will flatter their busts and they’ll love to wear for years to come.”
Prices range from £35 to £55. To order, visit Fabulousclothing.com.
