Hi Sandy
I have the red/teal floral Evelyn and the green satin Evelyn, both in 2XL and my bust is 48 1/2 ". Whilst they are both 'wide' enough and don't feel tight, the fit of the floral one is more 'wench-like' but is ok. The green one seems to contain my boobs much better. You will find a half cup/balconette style bra works best with this dress, and preferably unpadded, as padding adds just a little too much ooomph iykwim. 
I haven't tried the Netti or the Lana but by all accounts they are both smaller in the boob space than some other dresses. If you fit into those ok then I don't think you'll have any problems with Evelyn. x

oh thank you so much for the reply, I really really appreciate it! and you look just wonderful in both!

the Netti actually is quite spacious for bigger busts- except in black. I've found the black fabric has..a tighter feel (not sure why???) but I love them and have grown quite the collection of them! :)

I have the evelyn dress in pink rose and althought my bust is around 46", I find it much too tight in the bust. The fabric doesn't have very much give and it hurts also under the arms. It's such a gorgeous print and I'm super bummed I can't wear it. I've heard good things about the green version though.
