I have the same problem - shoulders like a wardrobe, and my upper arms look like someone's taken a bicycle pump to them. Will watch this thread with interest.

Bravissimo sell strappy tops that contain underwiring. I wear stuff with sleeves but not billowing yards of fabric - you know, fitted tops with elbow length/ 3/4 length/ full length). Don't think my shoulders are that broad but can't stand having bra strap showing and don't like my upper arms - bingo wings and chicken skin!

I can pull of the 3/4 sleve thing quite well. But it gonna get hot soon.

V necks and 3/4 sleeves are the way to go

In fact don't think I own anything that isn't v-neck. Anything else gives me a lovely shelf effect!

anyone have a miracle to suggest?

I find the most flattering style for me is tops which have a fitted V-neck, tight over bust, and then flare out under the bust (what a word - "bust" Grin) with floaty material, and then a shrug over the top, tied under the bust, so it covers the arms and balances things out... not very well put, but it works for me.

Sounds good, can picture it but I in all honestly would look like a tranvestite in anything that feminine Grin
