I need some serious dress help for a bustyish pear shape

[swissair81]

I'm tall (5'8") and long torsoed, so I prefer shirts that are neither cropped, nor short. I'm still on the busty side, because DD4 has decided to never stop nursing. Aaand, while my shoulders are not as narrow as they were, my hips are still wider than them. I've lost a lot of weight this year, so I shouldn't complain, but that means I have nothing to wear for the summer. I'm probably a medium in most tops. I have about $175 in credit from Nordstrom at the moment. Does anyone have any favorites to share or recommend? It suddenly got hot here, and my wardrobe is full of sweaters and fleece, and I am desperate for something more seasonal.

I find these dresses to be quite flattering. They run big so size down.

I like the LE dresses too. But if I size down, they don't fit so well in the hips for me and with a bigger bust, I would say go for your usual size. They do shrink a bit after you wash them.

I'm a busty pear too. I have the Eddie Bauer version of those dresses and I love them. I wear a lot of a-line skirts also. They just seem to be very flattering.
