We’re a size 10 & a size 18 with big boobs & have found the perfect party dresses thanks to Fabulous’ Fuller Bust range
FOLLOWING the huge success of the first Fabulous’ Fuller Bust clothing range, we’ve just launch our second edit.
Featuring seven stylish dresses that are perfect for all occasions, each one has been designed specifically to fit – and flatter – women of all sizes.
From extra fabric around the bust, to backless dresses you can still wear a bra with, we’ve thought of everything.
But how do they look worn by real women with different dress sizes?
We asked influencers Claire Hall, 51, from Wivenhoe, Essex, and Nina Ambrose, 53, from Chelmsford, Essex, to try them out.
Claire is a size 10 and a 32E, while Nina is a size 18 and a 36GG.
Together, they run a series on their social media channels called #sizebyside, which sees them try the same outfit on their different-sized bodies.
Here, they try our range and give their verdicts.
The floral Frances dress
CLAIRE SAYS: “I love how comfortable this dress is.
“It fits really nicely and you can tell it will suit so many different body shapes.
“It suits both my bust and Nina’s, yet it isn’t too tight or baggy on either of us.”
NINA SAYS: “The sleeve length on this is really nice and I also love the pop of different colours against the black.
“It means you can pick out any of the colours and then accessorise with them. Definitely one of my favourites.”

The Abby bow dress
CLAIRE SAYS: “A great dress for party season and should see you through to next year.
“And it’s designed so the back bow element sits over your bra strap – a real winner.”
NINA SAYS: “All the dresses are made from sustainable fabrics, such as this red satin one.
“With its hello pockets and gorgeous puff sleeves, it’s overall a beautiful dress.”

The leopard Angelica dress
CLAIRE SAYS: “Leopard is the print of the season and this dress is really generous on the bust.
“It’s a great sleeve length too – it skims the body and has a nice bias cut to the skirt. It’s just perfect.”
NINA SAYS: “This is the same style as the black Angelica dress and I think it’s great that it comes in two different colourways depending on your preference.
“It also has some shirring on the back for extra stretch across your shoulder and bust.”

The green Carly dress
CLAIRE SAYS: “I just love the shade of this green dress and it feels very expensive.
“The flutter sleeves are really gorgeous and the split on the dress is also a really modest height, so you still get that flash of leg – but it’s not too far up your thigh.”
NINA SAYS: “I do have a larger bust and it’s so nice to see that these dresses accommodate that.
“I also really love the added details, like the split sleeve, which is really complementary and a bit sassy.”
- Green Carly dress, £59, Fabulous Clothing; Claire’s earrings, £16.50, M&S; shoes, £38, Next; Nina’s earrings, £3, Primark; shoes, £46, River Island
The black Angelica dress
CLAIRE SAYS: “This is my fave – I love the way it skims down my body. I feel really comfortable in it.
“You can dress it up or down and it’s an all-year round dress you can wear on so many occasions.”
NINA SAYS: “So often when wearing a dress you need to add a pin. It’s so nice you don’t have to do that with this.
“The black dress is a wardrobe staple and you could get so much wear out of this.”
- Black Angelica dress, £49, Fabulous Clothing; Claire’s earrings, £xx; shoes, £36, River Island; Nina’s shoes, £22.99, Bershka
The red Carly dress
CLAIRE SAYS: “This is the same style as the green Carly dress and I think the pop of red is really vibrant.
“The sweetheart neckline is very flattering for those with a smaller bust as it adds shape, but also suits a fuller bust really well too.
“The fabric moves really well too, so great for dancing.”
NINA SAYS: “A dress that I can see myself wearing during the Christmas season, but also beyond that.
“I’d mix it with sandals and a clutch later down the line.
“My bust doesn’t feel squashed in this either, which is another bonus.”

The polka dot Emily dress
CLAIRE SAYS: “I’m obsessed that this dress has pockets – we love a dress with pockets.
“A polka dot frock is just a classic, elegant style that never goes out of date.”
NINA SAYS: “What I love about this dress is that it’s been designed so that it doesn’t pull at the buttons.
“They have put extra fabric there to accommodate larger busts, so fear not, ladies – this isn’t going to gape if you do have a bigger bust.”
