Suits for women with flat chests

6 replies

MantisAndCrumpet · 27/05/2024 12:18

I need to get a suit for work (I know, do very pre pandemic..) and I’m struggling as all the jackets I’ve tried on look like I’m playing dress up with my mothers clothes due to my small breasts (34A).

I sadly can’t afford a tailored suit, and I already have dresses/other work clothes that do fit my figure, but for various reasons I now need a jacket.

Does any one have any ideas of stores/sellers I could try?

Many thanks in advance

Just to clarify- I’m tall and slim and generally happy with my figure, but it appears it’s a figure that is not normally put in a suit…

Does it have to be a proper suit? Could you go for separate trousers/skirt and jacket ie. Not bought together as a suit?

There are loads of longline, relaxed or edge-to-edge blazer styles around right now that suit a tall, slim frame as they’re meant to be straight down and slightly oversized. If anything, being flat chested will make them hang better.

Whats your price range?

Could go separates but needs to end up looking very smart (think presenting to auditorium at business convention).

Budget in total (top and bottom) up to 800 if I can find something timeless, but that’s upper limit not target

Reiss suits work well for me (with that figure). The Gabi suit in particular.

Are you sure it's not that current styling is oversized?

Suit jackets generally hang better on slightly androgynous/smaller breasted shapes, look at any fashion magazine. You should be able to find something that looks good on you.
