Help!

I am a very funny shape, I have large boobs, short waist and like to hide my tummy so finding a flattering show jacket is impossible! Either they drown me, ride up or show my tummy so its really bugging me that I can't find anything. I currently have a Pikeur Narita, but it isn't the most flattering, I could do with a longer version of it but with the the stretch but that isnt extremely fitted from the waist down or that doesn't billow open.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated as it really affects my confidence that i am tugging at my jacket all the time.

thank you.
 
Not showing ...dressage
I am an awful shape.. 36 f boobies. Small waist large hips... look like I am wearing a bin bag if I find anything to cover boobs without bursting buttons!....

2 years ago had a made to measure dressage jacket by sporting colours... it is lovely as somehow my boobs now disappear and it looks like I have a female shape. Admit it wasn't cheap. But also not stupidly expensive..... well worth the money for me
 
I got a pretty reasonable equetech one - with stretch panels in the shoulder seams but non stretch fabric so it didn't shift. I did have to get the sleeves taken up though!
 
I had a le beau cheval tweed jacket made for myself (I compete in most disclipines but prefer tweed). Janet had created a template called 'small ladies with bust' which fits perfectly . If I were to buy a jacket, I would be a size 11 due to a 32f bust but am a size 8-10 frame. She added 4 buttons to lengthen the closure in front as I too tug the front of jackets down. Very reasonable price, I think around £280 made to measure.

Hope that helps, sorry for the essay.
