How To Layer Tops with a Large Bust

By Imogenl @ImogenLamport

Imogen,
I absolutely love your blog and follow it religiously. It’s helped make my shopping quicker and easier. I have cleaned out my closet to match my clothing with more flattering styles, and I have shared it with so many friends. Thank you!
My question today is around wearing sweaters. In the States it is getting cold, and functionally, I need more than just a long-sleeved shirt. However, I am a H body style who is large breasted and thus have little/no waist. What styles of sweaters could look good without bulking up my top too much and making me seem even fuller or top heavy? I’d love to own a few pull over sweaters and a few cardigans in the right style to be beautiful, stylish, and comfortable without being top heavy.  Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Susan

  • Look for cardigans with lower closing fronts, or those that don’t have a closure
  • A zip front can be great as you have complete control over where to stop the cardigan from closing

  • High necklines will make your bust look larger
  • Voluminous necklines will add extra bulk to your bust
  • Boxy sweaters will make you look… well, boxy
  • Wide armholes will make your bust look larger and your body wider
  • If you don’t have a defined waist, avoid bands on the base of sweaters
