Re: How To Chose Clothes For A Large Breast-Justine Leconte

@ECBGI stayed with her until she began extolling the wrap dress.  Except for wearing a top that's too small or too short, I can't think of a single less flattering look on my body. Maybe they work up to a certain size, but there are none in my closets.   Of course, she never told us the cup size of her models, but I seriously doubt any of them fit my idea of large.

@millieshops,Totally see what you're referring to.  The wrap dress has helped some but not all women for sure.

Hopefully, you got some good tips.

Re: How To Chose Clothes For A Large Breast-Justine Leconte

I always have to size up for a wrap dress or top and then I take it to a tailor stitch down the wrap part for me based on whether I am wearing it for work or for dates/evening.  I don't generally have to have the bottom altered, but I do have to have it hemmed as I am 5'4.25" and a dress has to hit me in just the right place to work.  I also have to have the sleeves taken up.

 

Yes, it requires a lot of work, so I have to love it and it has to be flattering enough to make it worth it.


I have 2 wrap dresses and they are my go-to work horses.

What does she know about it - she's flat chested!!  She shows button down blouse with darts.  I don't care how many darts (and they would have to be custom made), a button down blouse is a huge no for big busted woman!!

@PookI was so excited to get a button down shirt from Marlawynne (HSN) recently that actually buttoned and I don't have to pin it!

Big bustline is my no. 1 fashion challenge!  Lately if I'm buying tops to fit there, they are too big everywhere else like the sleeves are too long for my arms!

@ECBGShe pretty much confirmed what I do.   I've been dressing a large bust since I was in 5th grade;  apparently I do okay because sales clerks often dont realize how big I am until they have to agree with me that a style they chose just doesn't work on my body.  I was lucky to have a mother who faced the same issue and she was insistent on choosing what works to minimize.That was one thing we never much argued about!
