First and foremost, if you don’t feel beautiful and confident in your top, give it away and choose another. If you don’t feel good in it, trust me you don’t look good in it.
Selecting a blouse that flatters you plus size figure can be more difficult than finding that one pair of jeans that actually fits. The key is deciding which features need to be accentuated, and which should be deemphasized.
Big breasts are easy to accentuate a nice plunge or wrap neckline works wonders, but don’t be afraid of simple scoops or wide neck shirts that show the line of your neck and shoulders. A great necklace can be the perfect eye-catcher with one of the later to help focus attention where you want it… and I am not speaking of your eyes.
Stay away from men’s button-down shirts. Yes, they are sexy on movie stars and that is about it. Large t-shirts are the same. You may feel relaxed and comfy but you’ll look similar to a balloon with legs.
Shirts that gather under the bust and flow downward can be a nice solution for covering a pooch, but stay away if you have a problem with back-fat. You may need to look into a different style bra if this is a constant problem. Boobs are supposed to be under our faces, not our hairlines. The same can be said for halter-tops. The front angle may be pleasing, but as you walk away, there is a distinct horizontal line accenting exactly how wide your torso is, and if there is back bulge to boot, you might as well give it up and make a change.
Look for tapered shirts that have a bit of a gathering right between your ribs and natural waist. Seek shirts and dresses that are cut on the bias, find and buy dynamic collars, vertical stripes if you like that sort of thing, and clean lines. The end of your top should come just below the waistline of your pants, allowing one or two inches for safe keeping.
Materials like cotton, although cool and breezy tend to gather around the chunky parts that we’d all rather hide. Instead try for fabrics that will hold their own, sturdy and solid. If you want to go with a nylon blend that can be very flattering just be sure the fabric is thick and heavy enough to stay in place and not bounce everywhere. When it bounces, all is revealed.
Workplace blouses should be clean, simple, flattering and professional. Nobody wants to have a woman’s busts blasting out of her shirt at the client or even the boss. It just looks tacky. A blouse for the office requires more than the average top. Let your shapely girls be perky, stable, and under cover. Also, if your job includes a lot of bending and lifting be sure the top won’t ride up on the sides, tummy or back. The T-bar from your thong is not sexy, but trashy and nobody is interested in your bulges or butt crack. You may feel silly doing what looks like yoga in your dressing room, but you’ll be happy when your top succeeds in showing off your silhouette without revealing all your secrets.
Color is your friend! Yes, black is the easiest choice for anyone with anything to hide. However, it is boring and cliché. Don’t get me wrong, I personally have enough black in my arsenal to make any white cat think she was in heaven. Black is great when paired with beautiful or even striking colors and patterns that give your professional appearance a little kick. It is the cayenne pepper in your main course. Don’t forget that a cute shell or a flirty open jacket can be your best, and still removable, accessory of the day. Just be sure you have some color somewhere. No color? Go back to the closet and try again.
Summer casual is a phrase that makes some of us cringe. It is okay. We will get through these months together, but girls please beware of tanks, halters, and tube tops. We all need to let our shoulders, backs and chests see some sunshine now and then. Let us make a vow to do it with a little taste and be sure we are flattering the right features while we are at it.
The worst offenders are those little pockets of pudge that sneak out near your armpits. These aren’t extra breasts, and once again, aren’t sexy. A short ruffle or simple lace will distract and cover just enough to create an elegant illusion without covering your shoulders and arms. Speaking of arms, if you have wings… and you know if you do, please save yourself from letting them flap in the wind. Consider short or capped sleeves or something sheer to at least the elbow. It isn’t modesty, it is honesty. If you require more versatility a lot can be said for a pretty scarf or shawl to wrap around your shoulders.
Let me reiterate: Back fat, extra breasts, pooches, t-bars and wings should be avoided at all costs. Being on the beach is no exception, and either is a breezy brunch with the girls. Hide them intelligently and feel fabulous in whatever you decide to wear.
