Wearing revealing clothes with small boobs

105 replies

There's so many bodysuits and dresses that have quite a revealing chest area but I've avoided them due to the fact I've got no boobs 😢 should I be avoiding them? Is it embarrasing to try and pull off such things with no boobs?

I thought they were meant for the small of nork?

CoolToned · 01/03/2016 21:07

They're actually more suited for us, not-so-gifted girls.

Vixxfacee · 01/03/2016 21:08

Yes they are for small boobs.

everdene · 01/03/2016 21:08

God YES, definitely for the smaller-of-nork, they look brilliant!

bemoans own waps

They look much better if you're small busted.

You girls have made my night!!! I've been avoiding them thinking it'd make me look silly as I literally have nothing there! I usually go for dresses and bodysuits that I can wear a push up bra underneath
Happy shopping to me

Sexy in a French way

Bunbaker · 01/03/2016 22:45

I don't agree. Clearly these outfits aren't for the very well endowed, but for women with non existent chests like me they aren't a good look either IMO.

DD is always having the piss taken out of her at school because she has a very small bust, to the point of coming home in tears. The last thing she or I would want to wear is something that accentuates the lack of curves.

Sweetandsour93 · 02/03/2016 02:09

I agree with the post above, I would love to wear these but they would only highlight just how small my chest is :( I think if you feel good in the outfit then wear it but for me, I just wouldn't feel confident with my shape. I'd look flat chested unfortunately.

Knew it was too good to be true I've just bought a ton load of revealing things too
I would contour my chest a bit aswell so that it doesn't look so obvious there's nothing there. My biggest worry was making my non exsistant chest look even smaller

No, no! I'm sure you'll look great with them. Look at the models wearing them on the websites and catalogues - they're hardly busty!

Another small-boobed woman here: 34A (maybe 32B - and, yes, I have looked at the bra intervention threads). And I find with a push-up bra these type of tops can look good on me. I wouldn't go for the really deep plunge in the picture as it would show the bra, but anything that ends where the bra begins works.

Owllady · 02/03/2016 09:07

I was going to say they are for women with small boobs. I'd look a disgrace in one

HeyYouGetOffMyCloud · 02/03/2016 09:12

I think you could only wear that if you can Get away with not wearing a bra.
I think you'll look awesome if you are smaller chested.
Halterneck and spaghetti straps are the other tops that look way better on a small bust. So sophisticated and classy.
It's much easier to look classy with small books.

LadyPriggsbottom · 02/03/2016 09:12

I am large of nork and these tops aren't really to my taste, so I'm probably not the person to advise you, however , have you tried them on? I wouldn't give up hope otherwise - I suspect you will suit some and not others as with anything really. They are definitely designed with the small of nork in mind (please see some of the Oscar horror dresses for confirmation).

banivani · 02/03/2016 09:21

Jesus, go for it. If I had fried eggs I'd be wearing stuff like that loads. It's only with fried eggs you CAN, otherwise shit falls out, y'know. The model up there isn't particularly well-endowed, is she? What does it matter if you look flat-chested, own your flat chest! Nothing will fall out, it'll be brilliant. I look forward to pics. 8)

WellTidy · 02/03/2016 11:08

I have ummed and aahed about this for years and years. The only times I have ever had boobs is when I've been pregnant, as I have very shallow, small boobs. I wear slightly padded bras everyday just to give me a hint of shape.

I am now 40, and am not as slim as I was, but still have no boobs. I wish I had worn things like this when I was younger and slimmer and could have carried it off. I am really liking the acceptance of small boobs these days, as when I was a teenager, Pamela Anderson was seen as a goddess. I think the model looks amazing. Maybe being tall (I am very short) has something to do with carrying off this look too? And maybe the long hair (my hair doesn't grow beyond jaw length)? Though all of this may be my insecurities talking, which is what has stopped me wearing things like this in the past.

Go for it and see what you think.

This is another example of what I would like to wear, I have a revealing dress that I'll try on and take a photo for you, I'm glad for the opinions thanks

Gileswithachainsaw · 02/03/2016 12:20

here's a thought. you like them.they fit. so wear them.

boobs or no boobs

donajimena · 02/03/2016 12:20

I'd wear it if I were younger and I am small of nork. A - B norkage.

specialsubject · 02/03/2016 12:25

take a look at some of the Oscar dresses; huge amounts of boob about to fall out is not good, but the small-chested also look really rough in those outfits.

basically - put them away, whatever their size. As you don't need a bra, show off some shoulder or back instead.

Bunbaker · 02/03/2016 13:16

"Jesus, go for it. If I had fried eggs I'd be wearing stuff like that loads."

Believe me, if you had fried eggs the last thing you want to do is wear something that makes you look even more flat chested.

Petal02 · 02/03/2016 14:00

Absolutely. I didn't used to have boobs, I was horribly self conscious about it, and would NEVER have worn something that accentuated what wasn't there. Now, courtesy of a very talented surgeon, I have a boobs and I'm 100% more likely to wear something that reveals the chest area.

I don't think naturally big-boobed ladies realise how soul destroying a flat chest can be.

banivani · 02/03/2016 14:14

I didn't mean to sound flippant. I'm just jealous of everyone I perceive to be daintier-looking than myself. Those are my hang-ups, I suppose ...

22OntarioStreet · 02/03/2016 15:11

I agree with those saying go for it. I'd imagine the well endowed would struggle to wear something that low cut as you can't really wear a bra with it?

On the topic of being self-concious: I'm pretty much flat chested. At my thinnest I barely have boobs at all! Growing up I wanted bigger boobs and I felt horribly self concious. Now I love my (lack of) boobs. Wouldn't have bigger ones if someone gave me the option (nothing wrong with them, boobs are great just not for me any more!)

If you're otherwise happy with your small boobs then go forth and show them off. Won't look embarrassing at all. As has been said, the models they've chosen to show off the examples you like don't have big boobs.
