How to find the perfect DD+ dress for summer Looking for the perfect summer dress to fit your bigger bust? Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has the perfect solution. Looking for the perfect summer dress to fit your bigger bust? Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has the perfect solution. Finding a dress that flatters your bigger bust can be hard, often dresses can leave your bra showing, squash your bust and just be ill fitting in general. However, there are a few things you can look out for that will make dress shopping easier. A V-neck is a really flattering neckline as it gives your chest some more space, however, don't discount a square neck also, not only is this a trendy neckline, but will also give your bust the room it needs. Empire line fits are also super flattering, you just need to make sure they fall underneath the bottom of your bra, that way your bust will sit nicely before the rest of the dress skims your body. Wrap style dresses are also a great option but just make sure to look for an added popper detail, so that you don't have to use a safety pin to hold the dress in place and stop your bra from showing. Extra shirring detail on the back will also give the dress more room for stretch around your chest. And if you're looking for a backless dress then make sure there is one with a tie detail at the back that means you can still wear a bra. If all that sounds like something you're interested in then here at Fabulous we have created a collection specifically designed for DD+ boobs that ticks all of these boxes. Check it out here at The frock, which is amazing for avoiding those tan lines this summer, has become a mega hit on social media, as Katrina's video has racked up close to 140k views in just two days. More than 2,700 people gave it a like, as dozens flooded to comments, where one wrote: ''Gorgeous aren't they, I got the black one and the cream one, I was gutted they didn't have the green in my size.'' A mum-to-be chimed in: ''Oh my goodness my pregnant self NEEDS these dresses.''

Mum goes viral for her ‘half naked' outfit choice at son's graduation, but insists she doesn't see a ‘problem'
A MUM has found herself going viral after sharing pictures with her son at his graduation. Selene took to Instagram to proudly post the pictures alongside her "kiddo", who wore his mortarboard and gown on his big day. 2 2 Alongside the snaps, she wrote: "I'm such a proud mama!! "My baby graduated at the top of his class! "I'm so excited to see what the future holds for you kiddo. "Sky is the limit!" She chose a bodycon black dress for the occasion, with the strappy number clinging to her figure and highlighting her curves. Selene also stood side on to the camera for the snaps, which drew attention to her derriere even more. She teamed the dress with a pair of black patent heels, and left her curly hair loose. And while many people offered Selene and her son their congratulations in the comments section on the Instagram post, others slammed her outfit choice. "His mum be half naked on here!" one raged. "Why would you embarrass your son like this?" another added. I'm a midsize 12 and I've found the perfect pair of jeans that suit all body shapes - they're so stretchy and affordable "You could have just congratulated him in person and kept the pics. "Take this down, you're humiliating him." "She stole his moment - why this dress for her son's graduation party?" a third commented. "She is irresponsible." "Poor kid," someone else said. "What the hell are you doing?" another shouted. What's the best style that suits everyone? ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there's a new style of dress that suits all body shapes. Low-slung, dropped-waist silhouette styles have surged, thanks to the Noughties fashion trend that has swept the catwalks, social media and, of course, the high street. First seen on the runways of luxury labels Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style typically cinches around the hip and pelvic area rather than the waist. Now a plethora of more affordable options of the dress that suits a number of body shapes have dropped just as the sun starts to come out. Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor, said: "There's something so stylish about these dresses, and I love them. "The simplicity of the top half teamed with the full skirt is like a sleeker and more grown-up tutu. "I have a short torso so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but, thankfully, the long skirt means your legs don't look shorter. "Plus it means I can tap into the low-waist trend without baring all in a pair of low-slung jeans. "I know I'll be living in mine all summer, paired with black sandals and sunnies, but for now all I need is a blazer slipped over the top and a closed-toe shoe and I'm ready to go." Meanwhile, Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer, added: "I remember dropped-waist dresses from the 80s. I loved them then and I still love them again now! "Forty years on from when they were first popular and I am not so sure they will be quite as flattering around my middle, because two kids and middle-aged spread later, my waist doesn't exist any more. "With a dress like this I can disguise my middle bit and still feel on trend for summer." As someone else said Selene's son looked "extremely uncomfortable", another called her "embarrassing". "Just had to do the side view, your poor son," someone lese commented. "Embarrassing," another shouted. "That youngster is gonna be made fun of his entire life for her poor decisions," someone else sighed. "I'm sure he's ashamed of being around you," another insisted. However, Selene hit back at the criticism, as she wrote: "I literally have a dress on all the way down to my knees, fully covered. "There was a lot of mums, aunties and grandmas wearing the same kind of dress. "But since I'm not a size 2 or shaped like a a square, it's a problem when I do it. OKAY!" And there were those in the comments who defended Selene, with one writing: "She can't help that she's fine, y'all lol!" "Nothing wrong with your outfit, you are beautiful," another added. "Slay it sis!!! You looks amazing!" a third commented. "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and you look like a proud and beautiful mum, dressed appropriately," someone else said.

I'm a size XXL and I've found the perfect pair of summer trousers in Zara – they have an elasticated waist & look ‘chic'
A CURVY fashionista has found the perfect pair of summer trousers from Zara. So if you're on a mission to spruce up your wardrobe for hot days, then you've come to the right place and won't want to miss this. 5 5 5 5 Just days after Fabulous' Deputy Fashion Editor shared the 10 new-in Zara pieces that flatter all bodies, now, here's a gorgeous pair of staple trousers that you won't want to miss. Mollie Campsie, an influencer from the UK who has amassed 370,100 followers on TikTok, took to social media to share her midsize buys from Zara. The brunette modelled a cool co-ord, a stylish suit and wonderful waitcoasts, but it was her floaty and 'chic' trousers that appear to have impressed many. Posting online, the midsize fashionista from London held a large Zara package and wrote: 'Trying on my Zara XXL order.' Mollie was left beaming with Zara's Wide Flowing Trousers, which are available in three colours - terracotta, cava and black. The savvy shopper got her hands on the cava pair, which are a beautiful beige colour that's perfect for spring weather. The high-waist trousers are complete with an elasticated waistband, so we're sure they'll be brilliant for bloated days and long flights. Not only do they have front pockets, but they're also an extra-wide leg fit. The trousers are priced at £25.99 and are super versatile. Not only will they look great paired with trainers for running errands, but they're sure to turn heads when matched with sandals for a pub garden or picnic look. I found the best place for bargains & now I'll go every weekend - I got Zara heels for £2 & FOUR pairs of boots for £10 The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ molliecampsie, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 320,100 views. Not only this, but it's also racked up 8,032 likes, 49 comments and 2,090 saves. Fashion fans were gobsmacked by Mollie's epic Zara haul, in particular the trendy trousers, and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Sooo chic.' Why is Zara so popular? Zara was founded in 1975 in Spain, and the first UK store was opened in 1998. It remains as one of the most popular stores on the high street, but why? Rather than producing more quantities of a style, it is said Zara focuses on producing more styles. Some stats suggest Zara releases 24 trend-led collections every year, 500 designs a week and almost 20,000 per year. Other estimates put its production levels at 450 million garments a year. Even if a style sells out very quickly, there are new styles waiting to take up the space. This means more choices and higher chance of getting it right with the consumer. Zara only allows its designs to remain on the shop floor for three to four weeks, and this pushes the consumer to keep visiting the store or website, because if they were just a week late, the clothes of a particular style or trend would be sold out and replaced with a new trend. At the same time, this constant refreshing of the lines and styles carried by its stores also entices customers to visit its shops more frequently. Another added: 'Love the wide leg stretch waist trousers!! Look fab on you.' A third commented: 'What's the code of the trousers! They look amazing on you.'
