flattering clothes for the ample busted

My bust measures 43in, I am hoping to reduce that as I lose weight, but at my slimmest I am still a DD cup. Can anybody recommend flattering clothes? I know to avoid polo necks from watching Trinny and Susannah ages ago! Does anyone have more tips?

just tried searching the Bravissimo and Enell sites and they are blocked by my employers! Serves me right for constantly surfing taking a small break from my hard work.
It's not like they're porn sites is it???

Shock absorber running one is amazing - it basically straps those boobs in place and htere is no movement whatsoever! Though getting it on is like something from the Krypton Factor...

I've just got measured at the independent shop called Hidden Agenda just outside Southampton, recommended earlier on - I am a size 34GG, I thought I was a 38E/F. Just goes to show, I had no idea.

The lady measuring me said she was trained at Rigby & Pellar.

I bought a Freya active sports bra, no bounce when I jumped up and down.

Also another 2 Freyas, so that should do me for a while.

Thanks for all this advice, the difference in the right size is great.

I really didn't like the enell bra i bought - guess it depends on your preference

This is the one that works best for me Shock Absorber D+

I find it the only one that works for all my horse riding and boxercise.

Well done GT - it seems strange at first getting used to the change in size, but it just shows you how important it is to get measured!

these v neck t-shirts are fab for big boobs really flattering and long in the body. Wash brilliantly as well. I have loads of colours.

So glad that you had a good experience at Hidden Agenda, GT! a good bra fitting really makes all the difference!

PMSL laughing at the models on GGirl's link! I'm all for RL-looking models and everything but this is just funny. There's a perfectly nice looking young man on there who looks like he's got specs and a moustache drawn on.

Iknow the AA site is bizarre , need to trawl through a lot of weird stuff for the gems.
