T-Shirts for the busty?

[MrsKingfisher]

Where does everyone buy their t shirts if you are busty? I can often look like a box in most t shirts, I have some from M&S the relaxed ones which I quite like but only black white and a few dull colours. I want something exciting!

You could try Lands End and Uniqlo. The neckline makes a difference, and ones that skim rather than cling are best.

Neat sleeves rather than boxy ones, and ones that don't end at the same level as the bustline can help.

I have the same issues.

V/scoop neck only. No horizontal stripes. No cap sleeves. No sleeveless.

I find a t shirt with a slightly puff sleeve helps to diminish the distracting dimensions of my norkage a little, but I am a size 34H so fairly extreme

I'n not huge but relatively busty for my size and I find that unless they are stretchy they need to be altered to fit properly. Otherwise, there is too much material flapping under my bust.

Today's bra is a 32HH and I like Uniqlo for t shirts. Especially the supima cotton ones. Let's face it, if you've got more front than Blackpool you're not going to hide that! I do like a v neck; flattering.

Next sell some nice simple t shirts with a more relaxed neckline

Men’s polo shirts for me.

I second Lands End. I got mine from Amazon and they hang lovely (36E) and wash well. I've got a few from Gap too. It's crazy that it takes me months to find a simple t shirt!

I like gap modern v neck ones

I think it's the length of the sleeves .. don't have them line up with the girls
Bit longer would be my choice but I think either way better

I have a few colours in this style and also the Pima tees.

Mens XL crew necks, from wherever that has good cotton material. Oversized and tied or tucked in at the waist.

Bravissimo now do clothing. I haven’t bought anything yet so can’t say if any good, but might be worth a look www.bravissimo.com/collections/all-clothing/

I'm a fan of Hush slub v necks! Got to be v neck though - scoop is tent-like

"My norkage" 😂😂

Ooh, I’m a 34HH and I have several with horizontal stripes
I like Bravissimo for ‘nice’ tops personally (it’s always worth an eBay search for last seasons styles as well!) and I have some nice plain ones that skim past that are from George. Oasis also do some lovely floaty ones that I have in several colours.

I am 34G and have a few of these:

The sizing can be slightly different from colour to colour - they are made by a few different companies, but I have bought at least 5 in size 20 and they all fit. They are soft cotton, the colours are good, they wash well and I definitely recommend them.

I LOVE that they do them in loads of different colours!

Agree that hush v-necks are good. But Peacocks v-necks are even better and about a quarter of the price!

Would be better to opt for men’s sizes

Bravissimo- checkout EBay. They do 3 sizes of curvy for each dress size.
A well fitting bra is essential. Too many women are in the wrong size. Look at Boob of Bust on Facebook for advice.
Avoid crew neck and shapeless and definitely not men’s t shirts.
M&S do fitted t- shirts as well as regular fit. I have boobs but a slim waist so look much better in a slimmer fit. I just go up a size for boob space.

I’m a 34GG and just bought this - ivyt.co.uk/collections/short-sleeve/products/bea and it’s really flattering - and like the idea of supporting small independent stores just now.

Bravissimo do clothes specifically for the larger bust. Otherwise I also find boden good, lots of colourful prints and I don’t have any trouble getting my 34gg check into them

Love batwing but their reviews aren't great, how's the quality?

I like that, thank you!
