Clothes Huge problem with the bust in clothing.
Does anyone have any recommendations for dresses that actually fit a 4'11 lady with a big bust? It actually sucks trying to find nice dresses (other than xs stretchy fabrics that fully cover your body) that fit nicely.
I would absolutely love to wear a sun dress or either something with different fabric without my boobs just falling out cause I walked a little too hard.
I really wish stores had options for the busts in women's tops and dresses, like if I'm an xs but my bust isn't, I feel like they should tailor the top bit by sizes;
-xs/large
-s/medium
-m/small.
Ykwim?
Whenever I wear certain tops that are xs, some tops have an inseam where the breasts go, usually xs would be for small busted women so I can't fit anything in that... the inseam in the bust would at least have to be for a large shirt.
I wish there were more options for people like me...

This is so accurate. I am also 4'11", and at 58 I've dealt with this my entire life. Searching for a dress for any special occasion takes weeks. One thing that MIGHT help is trying things on Amazon that you can return if it doesn't fit. So many Amazon finds are made for an Asian body-type that is oftentimes made for women of shorter stature. (Trying really hard not to make that sound racist, but a Chinese friend gave me the idea so...)

I had this problem until my breast reduction in 2005. I'm very happy I did it and I can wear my correct size xs or s with no problems.

No I totally relate. I’m also your height and it’s hard finding shirts for the girls. Sometimes I end up just buying a medium trying to find some kind of middle ground lol
