Where to buy clothes - big boobs?

Do any of you ladies have any tips on where to shop to find tops to suit a larger bust?

I'm not that large - 36D in fact - so it shouldn't really be a problem. But so many tops around at the moment seem to be cut with rounded or higher necklines (rather than a flattering v neck) and they just fall straight down from the bust, making me look like a big lumpy sack.

For example (not that I shop much at Next, but it is fairly mainstream):
these

every one of these would make me look boxy and fat, rather than just curvy.

Hi ladies,

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone have any more up to date advice on where to shop for big boobs? I'm a 32GG at the moment 32FF pre-baby) and LOVE www.saintbustier.com for the more designery stuff (they've got a sale on at the moment too!) but could do with more!!

Ta xx

One of those many loose ads that fall out of magazines was an advert for a company that makes fitted clothes for ladies with large boobs. I can't for the life me remember the name though. You ordered on normal clothes size plus boob size so darts and tailoring were in the right place. I never ordered anything but the clothes - mainly shift dresses/shirts were nice. Anyone know this company?

YOu have my sympathies OP

I have unfortunate combination of having large norks, but narrow shoulders (+ relatively tall) and needing a collar (bad posture). It's virtually impossible finding tops for the summer. Gap did a brilliant collared summer tunic last year which fitted in all the right places, but there's nothing similar this season.

Another problem is that sometimes the material is so thin that you have to wear a vest underneath and I don't know about others on here, but norks already keep me warm thank you very much, don't need extra layers!

And anything that is cut for larger boobs for me is too big on the shoulder... I despair really ....I've taken to buying larger shirts that fit on the bust and getting them altered on the shoulder and darted at the sides ...

Thank you - the Boohoo stuff looks really nice. I'm not blessed with narrow shoulders as I used to be a swimmer, plus I'm currently sporting a pot belly as I still haven't shifted the baby fat. So big shoulders, big boobs and now a pot belly too, I have no idea how to dress this new body shape! Leaves me thinking that a black sack will be my only option for the wedding I have to go to next weekend. Any tips out there would be great...

I am very bosomy, but find East good.

I've just launched a line of clothing (just dresses for now) for women with bigger busts called Bitter Lollipop (www.bitterlollipop.com). Please check it out!
