Let’s be honest: a lot of clothes are not made for large breasts. We see photos of models and think, “Wow, I love this piece! but when we finally try it on ourselves, it looks completely different. It’s not our fault, but it sometimes makes it difficult to build a fabulous wardrobe that you really love.
Some dress styles that tend to be particularly flattering for people with large busts include wrap, fit and flare, and v-neck dresses. Bodycon dresses are great for showing off your figure, while dresses that are belted in the middle are a choice. fabulous for accentuating an hourglass figure. We also love the smocked styles because they have plenty of stretch in the chest area. You might want to avoid anything with an open back or super thin straps since you won’t be able to wear a supportive bra with them, but a dress with a built-in bra is the way to go in this case!
