As mentioned on my Facebook page, I’m dealing with an arm injury that makes it more difficult to type (mainly, I’m supposed to severely limit how much typing I do for now), but I wanted to do a quick round-up of specifically bust-friendly dresses for you all after noticing how many of you mentioned dresses in particular as being one of the most difficult things to find clothing-wise in my last post! Here’s a few places that you might want to check out if you’re always struggling dresses that fit both your bust *and* waist (at the same time!):
Pinup Girl Clothing (aka PUG)
Pinup Girl Clothing stocks a great range of house brand dresses by Pinup Couture, Deadly Dames, Dixiefried, and Eldorado Club. As the name indicates, these dresses steer very much towards the pinup/vintage style. The size charts differ by dress and are helpful for picking out the dresses that will work best for your particular figure!

I’ve gotten to try on a few PUG dresses, and I have to say that honestly, most of them aren’t really quite my style. However, I’ve seen many other girls look absolutely amazing in them, and the quality is quite good, so they’re definitely worth checking out!
PUG also has a Facebook page where you can see the dresses on different women and find more about how certain styles or dresses fit.
Dresses are generally in the $80-$120 range.
Trashy Diva
Despite the odd name, Trashy Diva boasts a great range of dresses. While I’ve never gotten the chance to try them out personally, I know many women who have with great success! Again, this is a company that veers towards the 1950’s/vintage/pinup style, although I think there are things that are more “toned down” here than on PUG.

Dresses are generally in the $130-$200 range.
BiuBiu
Bust-friendly Polish company BiuBiu (you can use the site in English by clicking on the UK flag in the top right corner, and you can also select the appropriate currency) has a nice little range of dresses available in addition to all of their bust-friendly shirts. BiuBiu definitely has a few more “casual” options than the previous two sites, and their clothes are more my style.
BiuBiu Sines Dress |
Refer to the handy size chart to see what size would suit you best – and email the owner and ask if you’re not sure!
BiuBiu also has a Facebook page (and another page in English for those of us who don’t speak Polish!)
Dresses are in the $30-60 range, and shipping to the US from Poland is around $13.
Pepperberry
An off-shoot of bra company Bravissimo, Pepperberry is another bust-friendly company based in the UK. However, I’ve heard mixed opinions about the quality, sizing, prices, and styles. But, still, Pepperberry is a widely-known company in the bust-friendly world, and you may find something you really like!
Pepperberry Hexagon Dress |
Refer to the Fitting Guide to get the best idea of what size may work for you.
Dresses are generally in the $90-$130 range.
Bonus – Urkye
Urkye is a new Polish company (similar to BiuBiu), but they already have one cute-and-casual dress available, with another coming later this month! The dresses are in the $40 range.
Another note – if these dresses strike your fancy, but are out of your budget currently, why not check out places like ebay? If you know the brand and name of the dress, it’ll be much easier to search for deals! Also, PUG specifically has a swap/sell community on Facebook.
So, have you tried out any of these companies? Are you intrigued by any of them? Do you have any other busty-dress suggestions? I’m curious!
