13 Flattering Dresses for Larger Busts

Let's be honest: the majority of women's clothing is not designed to accommodate those with high bust sizes. When we look at images of models wearing a piece of clothing and think, "Wow, I adore that item!" we may be surprised to find that when we eventually try it on ourselves, it appears very differently. This is not our fault in any way, but it does make it more challenging at times to put together a beautiful wardrobe full of items that you actually adore.

Wrap dresses, fit-and-flare dresses, and V-neck dresses are all examples of dress styles that tend to appear more flattering on persons who have larger busts. Dresses that cling closely to the body, such as bodycon dresses, are an excellent choice for highlighting an hourglass figure. On the other hand, dresses that feature a belt at the natural waist are an excellent option for emphasizing a pear shape.

In addition, we appreciate smocked styles because the chest area of these garments is extremely supple. You might want to steer clear of anything that has an open back or really thin straps because you won't be able to wear a supportive bra with these garments. However, if you absolutely must wear a dress, one that has a built-in bra is your best bet. For more read about sewing and fashion tips go on mrsewguru.com
