Going out outfits for bigger busts!

11 replies

Just curious what people are wearing for going out if you have a bigger bust but you actually like your shape and want to show it off? Lots of outfits are focused on 'subtly sexy' which always seems to translate to a flowy shirt that's unbuttoned to show a bit of cleavage - while it's a great and comfy look, I've worked bloody hard to get to a place where I'm pleased with the skin I'm in, and I want to show off the fact I have a waist, so I want something close fitting on the top half at least! (Yes, you can wear high waist trousers and a belt with said shirt but it still doesn't show your shape as well as something close fitting does! I'm only 30, I want to look GOOD - but everything that fits the bill seems to be backless so I can't wear a bra!
Additional problem:
I don't look good in black unless it's sleeveless and low cut - and I have a top that fits the bill there - i want colour! But I'm a light summer and everything is very dark and wintery or bloody beige!
Big prints also look absolutely hideous on me!

Anyone struck gold?

Sosandar and Pour Moi are worth a look.

not the boxy flowy shapes you get elsewhere and a bit of cleavage in display in many of the styles

This is edging closer but that sweetheart neckline is so high up, i can't imagine it would be very flattering!

Love the shape on the River Island one! Maybe they'll do it in a different colour i could try. The DP one is very covered up and 'flowy' which is what I'm trying to steer away from, but its very pretty!

Nice idea but backless... and tiny cups so the seam would sit somewhere above my nipple! Navy is a great alternative to black though!

This is basically the opposite of what I'm trying to go for, sorry!

I had a dress from pour moi a while back that was nice - they do tend towards quite harsh prints/colours but I'll have a look at the new collection - Sosandar is a great shout, thank you! I seem to remember their clothes also being good if you are long of torso like i am so I'll have a look.

This site has some nice shapes but I don't know about the quality as they're quite cheap.
