Tops for size 8 with large bust!?

13 replies

Bunnies96 · 24/10/2018 20:24

Can anyone offer advice on how to dress for this sort of figure? And where to buy nice clothes from?
I struggle with anything that has buttons as they just look ridiculous over the boobs. And anything that fits my waist ends up stretching over the chest too! :(
Feels bit fed up looking like a tent just to accommodate the chest.
Any advice? Xx

Stretchy black jersey with a low scoop or v neck are my staples ! Just avoid button up shirts .. also Bravissimo do a clothing range ..

I'm the same, size 8 and a 28FF, have always struggled dressing for my figure as so many things make me look huge! I now mostly wear stretchy jersery Ts with a lower cut round neck. Can't do high necked or v-neck. Paired with skinnies boots and usually a bomber jacket. Can't do scarves as I literally look like a lollipop 😫.

I am a size 6, don't think I have a particularly large bust, yet clothes manufacturers seem to think a size 6 has no boobs whatsoever. I can never button up shirts etc, and also stick with stretchy scoop necked tops.

I'm also a 28FF, it's ridiculous.

ASOS have introduced a fuller bust range - not huge amounts but the short sleeved shirts are good I wear a size 12 but have 32G bust and my white one is just about right possibly even slightly big in the bust which is nice

Bravissimo and some seasalt clothes also.

I just bought this from Bravissimo. All their clothing is designed to work with big boobs and still fit well everywhere else. They do a great fitted white shirt which is next on my shopping list.

Don’t find Bravissimo clothes work for me. Tend to be too long in the body and way to low cut

Phase eight seem to cut for boobs. I get a lot of work stuff from there.

Lots of stretchy stuff and wrap tops with something fairly high-necked underneath. I also buy things in a size to fit my bust and take in the waist with darts (the cheating way is to put the top on inside out and pin to shape.) I have given up on blouses though - they always gape!

MaisyPops · 25/10/2018 07:20

Stretchy jersey materials are the way forward and wrap styles.
I used to wear empire lines when I was really small but now they seem to suggest a slight permanently pregnant look so don't anymore.
