Summer Tips for Busty Ladies

Stitch Fix’s post on Summer Tips for Busty Ladies post was a Godsend. There is no, if, and or buts about it, I inherited a busty chest. I am constantly searching for outfits and tips to feeling my best while not overly flaunting what my Momma gave me. Summer Tips for Busty Ladies has some amazing ideas for all my sisters in the large chest club. 🙂

Summer can be the worst for us ladies because your cleavage line can get a bit sweaty, and you don’t want to layer trying to make your outfit appropriate. Also, I don’t know about you, but I am not wearing cute lace bandeau. My bra is supportive with wire and can get a bit hot! Women like me need Summer Tips for Busty Ladies to combat the heat and insecurities

Here are 5 summer looks that specifically flatter your “girls.” To get more ideas on how to flatter your busty frame, and have a customized wardrobe created just for you, join Stitch Fix today!

Wrap Dress

Oh, the wrap dress: a universally loved piece of women everywhere for its ultra-flattering style. This waist-defining, bust-slimming super-silhouette is perfect for busty (and even not-so-busty) women the world over.

Stylist Tip: If you’re in the well-endowed camp, look for a bright, printed version with a plunging neckline to lengthen your frame.

Mixed-Material Top

A mixed-material shirt is a busty girl’s secret weapon—it combines the structure of a blouse with the flexibility & stretch of your favorite tee. Ask your Stylist for tops with a woven front and a knit back. It’s the best of both worlds.

Stylist Tip: Crisp white denim is incredibly slimming, but it can show off a few of our (ahem) lady lumps. Look for a pair that’s slim or straight fit to avoid revealing too much.

V-NECK B

Opt for a V-neck, which lengthens the neckline and slims your upper half (as opposed to a high neck, which draws attention upward). The more plunging the V, the smaller your chest appears (within reason).

Stylist Tip: Pair your billowy blouse with a pair of form-fitting Bermuda shorts to show off your legs and create balance.

Horizontal Stripes

Horizontal stripes deserve to be re-branded! Paired with a V-neckline, this print is extremely flattering. Why? The stripes create a slimming effect by drawing the attention inward, creating the illusion of an hourglass. Just make sure the stripes are thin rather than bold, which can be overwhelming!

Stylist Tip: Distressed denim & a striped tee can err on the too-casual side (unless that’s the look you’re going for!). Keep your look sophisticated with a structured, studded tote and a pop-color flat.

Fit & Flare

Made for the Marilyn’s of the world, this decidedly classic silhouette should be a dominate player in all busty women’s wardrobes. Not only is the style a hourglass-maker, but the full skirt balances your proportions by creating volume below your waist.

Stylist Tip: A simple, repeat pattern like a retro-inspired polka dot is the perfect complement to a fit & flare shape. Keep your prints clean— anything too abstract will only add heaviness to your shape.
