going back to work soon, just boguht a shirt/blouse for interview and everytime i wear a shirt it sort of comes away near my norks, so any pervert sitting at the side of me would see right in Size 14, but if i bought 16 shirts would look massive anywhere else!

  1. Bravissimo do nice but priceyish shirts cut especially for the large of nork
  1. Wear unbuttoned to below the bust with a vest top underneath
  1. Wear a tank top or jumper over the top
  1. Don't

imho, for interviews, a plain v neck lightweight sweater or a smart t shirt is fine under a suit jacket

EffiePerine · 16/05/2008 13:02

Bravissimo shirts, or well cut women's shirts from somewhere like Pink's are good (the only ones that don't gape on me).

Cheap shirts never work.

my goodnes id never dream of wearin a minimiser bra

what a waste!

MissingMyHeels · 16/05/2008 13:03

I had a few shirts tailored for me a couple of years ago - not the cheapest way of doing it but last ages and good quality.

EffiePerine · 16/05/2008 13:03

I wear scoop/v-necked tops for work most of the time, with a jacket if needed. Much easier than shirts (and no not so much ironing)

Iota · 16/05/2008 13:03

a judiciously placed safety pin can work wonders

EffiePerine · 16/05/2008 13:04

DON'T wear a tank top for an interview! I think it looks awful

TigerFeet · 16/05/2008 13:27

Oh god no I wouldnt' wear a tank top to an interview! I was meaning more general day to day office wear. Jackets a must for interviews, just not necessarily with a shirt underneath.

BHS have got some nice tailored shirts at the moment that are appropriately shaped for the bigger-boobed.

Highlander · 16/05/2008 14:48

well, fuck me if those Bravissimo tops and dresses aren't a bloody great idea!!!!

I'm a size 8 but my BFing norks never fit into normal size 8 clothes.

shooooooooooooooooping

missblythe · 16/05/2008 14:50

Honestly, I wouldn't.

Even if you get one to fit, the whole collar/buttons/pockets fandango makes the norks look even more promiment, and thus stare-inducing.

Miggsie · 16/05/2008 14:51

shirts were designed for men...

ExtraFancy · 16/05/2008 14:56

I gave up wearing shirts for this reason - lots of complicated plans involving safety pins/vests/tank tops, and eventually I realised I could just...stop wearing shirts

Julezboo · 16/05/2008 14:58

thanks, sorry had to run out to meet childminder...

Miss - maybe the stare inducing thing can be good for getting a job

Ie already bought it and looks nice apart form that bit so disctrete safety pin shall have to do!

missblythe · 16/05/2008 15:22

True. As you've bought it, why not wear it but just leave completely unbuttoned?

I think large breasted women should not wear shirts as they end having a kind of tent shape.
My advice would be low cut or v necked tops in a good quality cotton material.
Avoid buttons
