IT can be hard to find a summer dress if you’re somewhat top heavy.
Bra straps can prove unsightly under anything too strappy, and it can seem impossible to find something supportive enough to go bra-free.
TikTok user and curvy fashion fan Jess (@jessdoinglifee) shared the summer dress she found that left her feeling more confident than ever.
“I have never felt as confident in my whole life than what I do right now in this dress,” she said as she modelled the look for her followers.
“The most confident I’ve felt in a dress in years.”
The scoop neck midi dress is from the fashion brand Mooslover, which features a variety of styles with shape wear built in.
Normally between a size 16 and 18, the five-foot-one influencer picked up the look in a 2XL.
Jess explained that the sleek look even had built-in shape wear, allowing her to go without underwear and avoid unsightly lines.
She added that the shapewear even had a slit, making it easy to use the loo.
But perhaps the most enticing feature for curvier woman is the chest support.
“I am quite a top-heavy girl and it’s got like a built-in bra,” Jess told her audience.
The TikToker turned to the side to show her viewers the support the dress provided her.
She went on to describe how amazing she felt in the look, adding that she wanted to get every colour on offer.
“It just makes me feel that good and that confident,” Jess reiterated to her followers.
She praised the fashion brand for knocking it out of the park with the shape wear and chest support.
“Mooslover have really pulled it out of the bag with this, wow is all I can say, I’d recommend everybody to give this a go, amazing,” Jess said.
The brand are known for their innovative shapewear, which often includes removeable bra pads, an open gusset, and extra room for the butt.
Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s’ shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They’ve been on runway models’ arms at nearly ever designer show – think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta – and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it’s the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The ’80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we’re likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in ‘80s windbreakers’.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we’re styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn’t matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good – but only as it’s just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life – until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S ’25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
Jess’ followers shared their thoughts on the stylish look in the comments section.
“You look amazing in that dress, get them all,” wrote one impressed viewer.
“You look absolutely incredible, Jess,” agreed another TikTok user.
“You’re looking really good, you [would] want to be proud of yourself,” commented a third person.
“Wow Jess, you look phenomenal,” wrote another one of Jess’ followers.
One viewer compared her to the cartoon character Jessica Rabbit, who famously wears a sleek skin-tight dress.
