Smart casual tops for the big boobed

I have enough tee shirts etc for knocking round the house and supermarket etc but am really struggling to find smart-casual tops for Autumn/Winter. The sort of thing you could wear out to lunch or informal meal with friends when you want to feel a bit dressed up without full on glamour. Being big boobed, I can't wear high neck lines unless my collar bones are showing. So boat neck is ok but I prefer to show a little bit of cleavage. I prefer softer/less intense colours - not washed out; I just can't wear vivid/jewel tones. Anybody found what I'm looking for?

Fairlie curved has loads of nice tops like this. Usually a sale on and great quality too

Try Urkiye. They cut the garments to accommodate big boobs. I've generally found the sizing to be rather generous.

Phase Eight have some nice batwing type tops in. Not too high in the neck.

Thank you, all - I will have a look at all of those. 😊

Boden might be worth a look but you have to hunt a bit for lighter colours. 15% off at the moment. e.g. this comes in a pink and a white for £40ish

That's lovely but I look awful in black! I'm a soft Autumn in colour analysis terms.

Oh that's lovely, I have a similar one in green already - bookmarking!

Two suggestions attached.
The first is Zara & the second is a silk shirt in a medium on eBay. Just the particular style is good for larger bust.
