.: Fuller
Chests : Avoid the Uni-boob :.
Republic
Cashmere Wrap Top @ Neiman Marcus
If your cup overfloweth, there are a few things you can do to
create a more elegant look. The point is not to hide your assets
but to complement them with fabrics and cuts that won't compete
with your body's natural shape.
Goals:
1. Minimize extra large breasts.
Solution: V-necks are the most
becoming, as they open up your face and neck, pulling attention
upward. The Republic
Cashmere Wrap Top has a
classic neckline, and the cashmere won't cling too tightly
to the chest.
2. Escape the uni-boob.
Solution: Wrap cardigans like the DVF
Elka Cashmere Sweater separate the chest versus
smooshing two boobs into one. The lightweight knit doesn't
add extra bulk, and the belted style creates a flattering cinching
of the waist. A more affordable option is the Joe's
Jeans Kimono Cashmere Wrap Sweater.
3. Cover up and still look chic.
Solution: The blazer will help
to camouflage larger chests and add style to any ensemble. Steer
clear of double-breasted jackets, and aim for ones that end near
the waist like this versatile and timeless Theory
Gabe B Blazer.
Bonus Accessory Tip: Large earrings keep the attention on your
face instead of on your chest. Try these Sculptural
Earrings from Banana Republic.

.: Medium Chests : Turn it Up, Turn it Down :.
Duchess Satin Empire Waist Tank Dress @ DKNY
Women caught in the middle enjoy the best of both worlds. You
can play down your chest when necessary, or show the girls off
when the mood strikes.
Goals:
1. Emphasize your assets.
Solution: Empire seams are flattering,
as they draw attention to your chest. The DKNY
Empire Waist Tank Dress is the perfect
party dress, combining sophistication with fun.
2. Downplay your chest without disguising your femininity.
Solution:
Jump on the menswear
trend with a boyfriend
cardigan, the perfect way to stay casual without
covering your curves. Another option is the Milly
Oxford shirt. This guy-inspired
design wouldn't flatter other sizes, but for a gal in the medium
range, it's a perfect way to cover up and still look like a woman.
3. Get some support while experimenting with different necklines.
Solution:
Lucky you – you've got the chest to fill out a dress,
but you don't need serious support. Because you have the luxury
of wearing so many styles, the Wacoal
Halo Convertible Bra will be an asset to your wardrobe. Its
convertible powers adjust to fit under anything from a strapless
gown to a cute halter top.
Bonus Accessory Tip: Any style will work for you, so wear this
Long
Pearl Wrap Necklace knotted, layered, or long.

La Rok Cannes T-Neck Halter Dress @ tobi
Just because you don't have double Ds doesn't mean you won't
look great in today's fashions. There are plenty of styles you
can wear that larger breasted women can't.
Goals:
1. Highlight your small frame.
Solution: Use a halter top to
show off your petite structure. This La Rok Cannes T-Neck Halter Dress is perfect because its cut accentuates
the shoulders and back but won't be too revealing.
2. Create a bustline where there is none.
Solution: Seek out
pieces with fabric gathering near the chest area, as this adds
dimension. The ruffles in this Robert
Rodriquez Ruffled Silk Organza Dress are strategically
placed to pump up the volume when you need it.
3. Stay cozy but don't flatten your form.
Solution: Opt for
chunkier knits like the Galena cardigan sweater. This will add texture to
your outfit better than thinner fabrics.
Bonus Accessory Tip: Long
pendant necklaces are perfect for smaller chests, as they will
lie flat against your torso. This
multi-layer necklace might
create an unflattering shelf effect on bustier women, but for you
it will be perfectly chic.
