“I haven’t had to compromise on either style or fit, which is what I always wanted.”
“It looks so expensive on and feels such good quality for what you’re paying. I’d live in this dress all summer long!”
“I feel like the collection enhances what I have, rather than covering my boobs up.”
“I’m a size 16 and it’s so lovely to find clothes that are true to size. This is figure-skimming, but not clingy.”
Fabulous’ Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale, who helped design and model the collection, revealed the secret to its perfect fit, saying: “The lining under the bust has been extended, so it sits nicely just underneath your bra.
“This design tweak makes it a , like me, and promises to put an end to a squashed chest – or what I like to call ‘shelf boob’.”
Imani Evans, a fashion model and influencer, who is a size 32H, commented: “I feel both comfortable in my own body but also physically comfortable – I haven’t come across anything that is as bust-friendly as this before.

Why Fabulous' Fuller Bust Collection is good for your wardrobe - and the planet
Abby McHale, Fabulous’ Deputy Fashion Editor, commented: “From the outset, sustainability was important to us.
“Considering that 30 percent of products globally are destined for landfill before they’ve even left a warehouse, we’ve decided to only start making our clothes once orders have been placed.
“This means your order will take a little longer than what you’re used to (four to six weeks), but we’re hoping you think, like we do, it’s worth the wait.
“We also ensure factory workers are paid bonuses from the collection, plus we work with the charity, Pratham, in India to fund education centres for kids in migrant areas.
“Buying a dress can support a child’s education for two months.”
