DressYourBodyType- Busty Figure

Busty Figure

You are blessed with a generous bust-line but haven't a
clue how to balance your shape. You probably feel like
people only see what's below your face. Well, lucky for
you women pay thousands of dollars to have that bust-
line. That's not the only plus; there are ways to wear
certain fashions to complement not flaunt.

Bra size is over a "C" cup.
Usually, this shape has a combination of a shorter
waist.
With out the right support, your body can look 10
pounds heavier than it really is.
Lower portion of body is petite to normal size
compared to the upper portion.

You're probably getting a headache just thinking about it
but don't worry. Below I have listed pieces to shop for
and other informative tips.

What to wear?

Flattering Tops

Fitted V-neck or scoop neck tops; be sure there
not too tight

A button-up men's shirt is always a classic piece to
have. Read the "Tips" section to the right to learn
more about work attire.
Tops that taper or nip you waist a bit
Fitted sweaters are great work attire but again not
too tight
Halters tops are always flattering

For jackets and coats, invest in princess cut or a
classic trench. Belted coats and knee-length puffers
flatter the proportion.

No, Nos!

Stay away from embroidery, ruffles, gathering,
shirring or big patterned tops. All they do is draw
more attention to the bust-line.
Flimsy fabrics or bias cuts lack support. Shop for
thicker cotton or wool textiles.
Be cautious with Empire waists. Make sure there is
no extra fabric gathered or shirred around the bust.
No waist-length puffers

Slimming Bottoms

A-line skirts and pencil skirts for professional
occasions
Pin-stripe pants elongate the figure.
Low sitting on the waist and boot-cut jeans are
perfect paired with leather boots or heels.
Pants with a slight flare help balance the top but
don't go over board.

No, Nos!

Mid-thigh or narrow skirts make you seem top-
heavy.
When shopping for pants or jeans, keep away from
super skinny or super full legs. However, putting
the boots over the pants works well with skinny
jeans. It's a great trick to balance the top with
your bottom half.

Dresses

Body slimming sheath dress are a perfect match for
the busty shape.
Shop for controlled tops paired with a slightly full
skirt.
For evening wear or cocktail attire, the halter top is
always an excellent choice. You can show a little
neckline dip but don't go over the top. You want to
be sexy not wear sex.

No, Nos!

Run from fullness on top such as ruffles or shirring.
For special occasions, keep it simple on top. Don't
let the clothes wear you.

What about those swimsuits

Look for tops that give support just like a bra
does. Some women think they don't need padding
for the top. However, once they have worn a
controlled top, they feel more secure in their
appearance.

Halter tops with thick straps are the best bikini tops
to wear.
Also, a wide band underneath the bust-line keeps
things in place.
Solid dark color on top diverts attention.

No, Nos!

Be cautious when purchasing string bikinis!
No ruffles or big patterns on top!

The busty feminine
figure looks great in
men's style suits.
Invest in a classic
suit.
Get a fitted bra. This
will make a world of
a difference in the fit
of your clothing. The
wrong
undergarments can
make a sloppy
impression. Visit
Avenue Body Bras
at Avenue.com, Just
My Size.com or Hips
and Curves.com.
Dark on top and
lighter on bottom
balances the
proportions.
When it comes to
work environment
and wearing button-
up blouses, be
cautious of the
space between the
buttons. It tends to
open a bit. A quick
solution to this
problem is putting
double-sided tape to
secure the fabric.
Works perfect!
