TIPS FOR THE BUSTY; HOW TO DE-EMPHASIZE YOUR BUST:

“I like styles that help me shape my waist while taking the focus off my sometimes overwhelming bust-line. “

Work Wear:

Multi-button jackets aren’t the only ones that work for busty women; however, they provide great support and help balance your figure.
Jackets with placket pockets above the hip create volume without adding bulk and draw the attention away from the bust.
Buy your jacket larger and have it tailored if needed, you should always be able to button your jacket comfortably.
Always look for a flattering neckline to lengthen the neck and lead up to the face. V-necks and sweetheart necks are eternally flattering because they show just a hint of cleavage without looking vulgar.
Look for skirts with distracting visual interest. Here, the detailing draws your eye downward and away from the chest.
If you don’t like matching suits, try a darker color on your top half and a lighter color on the bottom to pull a bit more emphasis away from the bust-line.

Weekend Wear:

Look for dresses that have an empire seam and support the bust-line. This will create length and raise the eye line above the natural waist and towards the face.
A-line skirts and dresses create a streamlined look. It’s about tricking the eye by adding volume without adding actual bulk.
Make sure you don’t lose your midsection. Look for dresses that nip in at the waistline to create a more hourglass effect.
Accessories like scarves and necklaces also help bring the attention to your face and away from your bust-line.
If you are not comfortable in skirts or dresses, a trouser or wide leg pant is great for larger chested women because it balances out the top half by adding a little bit of volume without the bulk.
Don’t accentuate the narrowness of your lower half by wearing very narrow trousers or skirts— you just create more disproportion between your top and bottom, making your bust-line look bigger.
When wearing prints on top, make sure you avoid large prints. Instead, choose smaller, subtle designs that won’t draw too much attention.
