How to dress big boobs

I’ve never been blessed in the boob department. Always been a B cup or thereabouts.

On my second breastfed baby and I’m now an F and got no bloody clue how to dress them!

All my T-shirts and tops look shit!

I’m a size 12 and was generally a pear shape pre pregnancy.

Help a lady out here😂

I am not an expert but am an owner of 34G boobs. I wear v-necks or wrap style tops as round necks tend to make me look massive. Comfortable bras are the biggest thing so following for ideas!

All my current tops are round neck as they suited my small boobedness 😫🙄

Now I look enormous in them.

V neck or square neck. Wrap over tops and dresses.

Same problem here. Feel very “mumsy” or frumpy now in a high neck - which is my usual style. I am trying a Triumph Urban minimiser bra at the moment and hoping that will make high necks more wearable. Following this thread for better tips though!

I've always had big boobs and after years of trial and error my rules are:

  • A well fitting bra is the most important thing with big boobs, got to get the foundations right. I don't wear bras with any padding at all. Padding, however thin, just adds to the volume of boobs and makes them look bigger.
-V neck everything! Everything I own is v neck apart from a few low scoop neck things. I do not wear anything that has a neckline above where my boobs start. That includes jumpers, if it's cold I wear a scarf. -No horizontal stripes anywhere near your boobs. -No tops with writing across the boob area. -Wear clothes that emphasise your waist, if you hide your waist then you look much bigger than you are. -No poufy shoulders or cap sleeves. They make you look even more top heavy and out of proportion. -Sew a popper onto the gap in dresses/tops with buttons. I used to either get the next size up or not wear buttoned things at all. Next size up never looked good tbh. Sewing a popper onto the gap has given me so many more options.

Lots of people with big boobs swear by wrap dresses but I can't get on with them. I've not found one that doesn't show way too much cleavage and doesn't just draw even more attention to the boobs.

I used to get comments on how big my boobs were all the time, even got comments shouted at me in the street from time to time. The last couple of years I've been sticking to my little set of "rules" and nobody ever comments on them anymore. Which is strange because I show much more cleavage than I used to. I dress them well now so they just look like a part of my body rather than two melons stuck onto my chest Grin

I'm 38GG and feel horribly busty in tops with round necks but they seem to be more available than V-necks which I prefer to wear,

I do find wearing busy ditsy print tops can help disguise the size of my boobs much better than a totally plain colour.

It's horrible looking so big in tops that look like I have a shelf under my chin. Sad

Don't go for minimiser bras. They minimise by using side slings which allows some boob to sit to the side under your armpit. Which makes you look wider!
