Bustline Magic With Clothing Choices

Bustline Magic With Clothing Choices
by Sheryl Reardon

Have you noticed lately that the tops in your average store all tend to be designed the same way? Racks and racks of cross over (Surplice) tops, high waistlines, deep V necklines and loose torso. That style works for some, I even have some in my store and they are cute. But this style is not for everyone.

Here are a few tips to consider in choosing a flattering top that fits YOU properly in the bustline.

1. If you have a full bustline, wear a top with a v neckline that stops above your "cleavage". If the top you just love goes lower than that, I suggest wearing a light cami under the top or choose a style with a built in insert. The layered look is very trendy now and modesty with style is very attractive and draws the eye to you not to your breasts.

2. You may also want to consider wearing a Breast Minimizer Bra available at most department stores now. This style of bra helps two ways: 1) It reduces the size top you need by 1 size 2) It also lifts and supports better than other bras.

3. If you have a tiny bustline in proportion to your hips, you may want to wear a top with with extra gathers in front to balance your overall appearance. This style is particularly flattering with a tiny bust and waist and will draw the eye of the beholder up from your hipline.

4. Notice how you feel when you put the top on. Does it make you ache in your back or relax? Do you feel like a slob or a perky fashion statement? Do the buttons pull and leave gaps of flesh between or does the garment fit properly and make you smile. Probably the biggest tip I can give you is not to go with what "everyone is wearing" but go with a top that "feels good". A proper fit will do that. Not too big and not too tight but just right. (If it worked for Goldilocks, it will work for women everywhere, Right?)

Accept the size you are and wear clothes that have a proper fit. If you can't afford a change in wardrobe at department store prices, there are many beautiful tops at very reasonable prices on eBay. You can even get beautiful Women's Fashions that are new, or like new, with tiny price tags. My store carries 50 of them.

Thats my 4 ideas for today.

Something to make you SMILE!
