Hiding big boobs
Hi I am currently breast-feeding my little boy, and my figure is something like 34G, size 10-12 waist, and 5ft 3 in height.
I find it very, very difficult to find tops to fit me - anything that has a marked breast line in it is a complete no-no as even when I try on size 16s they don't fit. Shirts are also an impossibility.
I have a wedding coming up in July to go to and a holiday in a week's time - and just have no idea of what styles to go for - any help appreciated!!!!

Big boobs can be really hard to contain at times can't they!! I am an F cup myself and have spent many frustrated hours in dressing rooms!
Why not go for a skirt and top combo for the wedding in order to get something that fits perfectly. Vivienne Westwood is a great designer for a full bust, she is definitely a fan of showing cleavage but always nips in the waist and hips to create a beautifully feminine silhouette. Miss Italy is another designer who cuts for the bust and then nips in at the waist so have a look at her stuff - she has a great calico cotton 'Boungiorno' dress which is generously cut at the bust but cinched at the waist and has a slip under it to hid your modesty.
Jersey would be a great fabric for you to embrace currently as it will allow for the bust, but hug the waist. Go for v-necked tops with capped sleeves and a slightly draping style (again Vivienne Westwood) that go in slightly at the waist to follow your curves rather than restrict them. A jersey wrap dress would be perfect - with a slip under it so you don't reveal too much of that wonderful bosom, this would emphasise your small waist. Diane Von Furstenberg is the reigning queen of the wrap dress.
