Winter dressing for those with big boobs?

[molmurpha]

I'm 5ft 4ish and a size 10, apart from the fact that I have 30F boobs and I feel that my boobs make me look bigger than I am in certain clothes.

In the summer, I either wear dresses, or shorts/skinny jeans and vest tops, and even though my boobs are big I find that I still look slim as my arms/legs are on show and summer dresses tend to be quite fitted.

However in winter it's a different story; today for example I have got skinny jeans on and a jumper. Jumpers seem to sort of hang off my boobs so they make me look shapeless, and of course I have to have a bigger size than I am because of my boobs. Also I had to get a size 14 coat, again thanks to them, and so it makes my shoulders look broader than they are and I just look generally quite shapeless in a coat because of having to get bigger sizes.

Has anyone got any suggestions of winter clothing that might make me look a bit slimmer please?

Well, there's Pepperberry, but I'm usually not a big fan of their clothes. But they have some interesting stuff every now and then.

For sweaters, v-necks and you have to go for quite tight styles, not baggy ones that hang.
Blazers, jackets and coats - single-breasted, deep v-neck, fitted. Those boxy boyfriend-coats of this year look horrible on busty women, but something like this would make you look slimmer, as you could get your normal size thanks to the v-neck:

(don't look at the price, just wanted to show the style)
Or this might work, I have something similar and am a GG-cup

I know about the v neck being good for the big of boob like me, but my chest freezes in this weather.

Fitted-ish jumper dresses? I tend to wear these quite a lot, and fairly short, so that my legs are the focus and not my chest. I tend to wear a light scarf with them to hide the higher neck than I might normally wear.

Ditto with skinnies and a fairly fitted jumper. I tend to wear a longer top/vest underneath, because most jumpers seem to be thigh length (in which case it's a dress on me!) or short and boxy.

V neck jumper with a thermal t-shirt underneath?

Oh and I only fasten my coat if it's freezing - in which case, I don't care how big I look!

I am a FF and I hate v necks. I wear a lot of roll and crew neck jumpers with my more minimising bras and often add a scarf. If I feel I look really booby sometimes adding a necklace deflects attention. I don't know what kind of clothes you like but I love Cos for winter wear. The less fitted shapes work really well on big boobs imo. Today I'm wearing a Cos rollneck dress (tight on the neck, fitted on the shoulders then looser) and leather leggings and I don't look like I am a FF cup.

I never wear v necks either but also buy lots in cos. It is all about the bra for me get that right and I can wear most things. V necks look aeful though.

I am big of nork and have found over the years that the cardinal rule for winter woollies is that you choose thin knits with a fine gauge and maybe a bit of stretch or fine ribbing. So that it fits your shape and doesn't hang off one's norks in a tent-like fashion.

There used to be an amazing shop in Paris (don't know if it still exists) that just sold fine ribbed silk and cotton knits (for summer) and silk and wool v-neck cardigans (for winter), to be worn over a vest, perhaps with a scarf. My sil bought me a cardigan from them and I wore it until it unravelled. You could almost pull them through a ring they were that fine (but warm!). [Nostalgic sigh.]

Another trick is to buy a fine, knitted, low-necked gilet (or tank top as they used to be known) in a dark colour, such as navy blue, black, charcoal grey or dark purple, and wear it over a white or cream blouse. Which gives the illusion that the most, er, 'prominent' area of your body is sinking in to the background against a contrasting colour (arms and collar of shirt) which appear to be more to the fore.

layering is good I find and strangely a cowl neck. PRinciples have lots of bat wing cowl neck tops like this that look really good

oh forgot to say - change your bras

I use a minimiser sometimes or a bra that is less up and at em than others

also the boden cowl top is LOVELY but size up

Loads of good tips here. Cowl necks, scoop necks and some crew necks all work, and scarves to draw attention way from the boobage! I've sort of decided that thick jumpers are going to do me no favours and that I need to stick with vests, thermals and layers of tops and thin cardigans.

And wear a hat indoors at home to keep warm.

you need HUGE scarves

thin ones dont do anuthing

Agree with slim fit, v necks and wear a scarf so you don't freeze. Avoid double breasted anything like the plague
