Hey ladies, I have a problem. Whenever I go shopping, I usually fit into a small, but the thing is, my boobs are pretty large for my frame (in between 34B-C) and a small isn't big enough (e.g-sweaters/cardigans cannot be buttoned up). If I move up a size, it is too large for the rest of me and the clothes just sags and hangs in unflattering bunches.

I can't imagine any solution to this, but perhaps you girls will have some advice!

[nanan]

i know exactly how you feel =.=
we're the same size on our bust actually! XD
but um...solution is...............stay away from shirts like that? ><"
i donno. i usually don't wear button ups so i don't come across that problem anymore. but when i DO wear a button up, i usually just safety pin the open parts o.o

oh and another thing about having a big bust.....you can't wear suspenders T-T
they always fall off because your bust is just so big! >< i hate it T.T i just wish mine would shrink a little T-T

[Jamila]

just buy the larger size and alter the shirt by taking it up..it's not very hard to do with minimum sewing skills lol =)

[auburn_autumn]

i have a similar problem (34c/32d but a s/xs in tops).

i usually just buy the smaller size and if i'm seriously bursting out of it, i will wear a tank top or camisole under it.

if you are busty and buy shirts sized to your boobs, you run the risk of looking fat because the clothes just hang off your boobs and aren't fitted at the waist.

I'm top-heavy too, 34D, I wear size medium (junior size), small (women size).
I barely have any trouble, even my hubby sometimes complains about my shopping habit LOL

For tees and shirts, I always wear the fitted ones that are made of stretch fabric, cotton/spandex or lycra.
So the shirt fits around the chest comfortably and shows the curves of my waist.
Shirts that don't have spandex material, they feel tight around the chest, it makes that funny horizonal lines like (=) that. One reason why I don't really like wearing graphic tees. The graphic looks deformed LOL.

For button-up shirts,
if I wear shirts that aren't made of lycra/spandex, they look okay around the chest, but baggy around the waist area.
If I wear one size smaller, it will be very tight/almost can't button around the chest area, but fits around the waist.
So I pick the ones that are made of stretch fabric too.
Old Navy and Gap have that kind of shirts, and the clothing tag says "GAP stretch" or "OLD NAVY stretch"
They are a little bit pricier than the regular shirts, but hey, the chest and waist fits perfect.

Same with knit sweater/cardigans, I pick the ones that are made of lycra/spandex fabric.

I love buying clothes on Victoria's Secret website, their clothes fit my body type.
Express has good selections of clothes too, but they're too pricey for me.
I used to like buying clothes from Forever 21 too, but since they switched to asian style, which most of them are fobby/baggy style, I rarely buy there anymore.
Good thing I live in America. It'd be really hard for me finding clothes if I was still living in my home country. XD

[MaryMagdalin]

really?
thats weird.
i`m a size xsmall-small and i have 32C and i fit fine
if you wear small your frame shouldnt be that small?
maybe you`re just self conscious cuz things pop out a bit? lol

[huongface]

my body is super close to you and I always end up buying a size bigger. I would just buy more fitted t-shirts or anything fitted instead of those lose sizes.

[Zodiacgrl89]

And that is why you don't by implants.

[Koala<3]

^ Rude much? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

Go go stretchy clothes!

^ She's always like that, she's just jealous that's all

[0rchid]

omg, i have the exact same problem when it comes to buying button up shirts. more often than not, if it fits perfectly around my back and my waist, it's too tight around my chest. if it fits my chest, i end up with so much fabric around my back that it looks like i have a hunchback TT____TT

[x_estherrrrrr_x]

i know exactly how you feel!
i have a pretty slim waist but a friggen huge hip and im a 36D.
so when i wear M, my clothes get all stretched out where the boobs are
but fit my waist.. if i get a L, it fits my boob but is too big everywhere else

but yeah, like most ppl, for buttom up shirts, i keep them unbuttoned but wear a tanktop underneath
and i usually get stretchy clothes so it fits nice :]
what else looks nice on us are the clothes where it cinches at the waist :]
makes ur boobs look great, waist nice and small :]

[yooniceland]

Lol i don't have that problem... anymore... xDD
but my friend still does, and hers is worse.
she's like, 110 at 5'6" at most, and her boobs are huuuuuge. Like, over C cup....
so she just buys bigger shirts cuz she doesnt want them to be too tight.
i used to do that too, but some of them made me look fatter, so... o___o
my mom would occasionally make the waist part smaller for me so that my clothes don't look deformed.

[damyoungji]

I have two friends who experience the same thing as you and I.
However, I think one of them is a C, and the other one is definitely a D.
I am a B and I still have trouble fitting into smaller sized clothing.

There are clothes that I have that fit perfectly. However, when I zip it up, I suffocate myself.
When that happens, the zipper either stays up or falls back down.
OR it just doesn't go up at all.

Jealous? Please...girls get the boob job and come to this site to complain. It eases their guilt and makes something artificial seem natural.

[thefishthatswimsupstream]

Thanks EVERYONE! The thing is, I go to a 70% male school and I live on campus, so there's a lot of unwanted attention. Like Bunnylicious said, my tops that are fitted make the "=" mark across. I'll definitely trying stretchy material clothings.

This got moved out of Fahions but, What kind of things will give the illusion of a smaller bust? Seems like so many clothing stores are into making shapeless and loose clothings that just hang.

A breast reduction.

[kervinson]

I bet guys would find them attractive.
If they look way out of proportions,
consider breast reduction.

If you are in your teens, (puberty)
your body is filling out different places
at different times, which can make
things look un-even, so they'll
even out eventually

from all your posts, you sound like you are jealous
only jealous girls assume things like skinny or non-fat girls are impossible to have big breasts, they all have implants.

girls get boob job and then complain about them? Pssh come on. That doesn't make sense.
After they pay so much money, they want to flaunt them of course
IMO, girls with fake breasts have more self-confidence and like flaunting them around more than girls who are naturally big-breasted.

Yeah, I hear ya.



V-neck tops and wrap cardigan or sweaters can minimize. Square and scoop-neck worth to try too.
Stay away from chunky clothes, like cableknit sweaters.
stay away from crew-neck and turtleneck, they make the breast look bigger
You might want to avoid skinny jeans, they make body looks very top-heavy. Go with bootcut jeans instead.

If you don't already own some, you could even try a minimizer bra.
