Body Types: Busty Tips

Finding Swimwear For Busty Plus Sizes

Finding plus size swimwear can feel daunting at times and when you add a large bust to the mix, it can be downright difficult to find a suit that fits and flatters your curves. Busty body types should always, always, always look for swimwear with a built-in plus size bra for support. Many swimsuit designers have not only added built-in bra supports, but many styles have an underwire support, so there are different options for busty plus size women.

While there are a number of two-piece styles with great support, one-piece suits are really the best choice for this body type. Funky printed one-piece styles, with high cuts on the legs, can enable a busty body to look stylish, while still offering optimal support and comfort for the bust area. Stay away from styles that are too low-cut as this might draw too much attention to your bust. Slightly plunging necklines and halter styles will flatter your curves in a positive and classy fashion. Be sure to get the correct size to avoid any bulges around the top of the suit.

Large Busts Should Wear Single-Breasted Jacket

If you have a large bust and are given to wearing great suits, pay close attention to the cut of your jacket. Avoid double-breasted jackets, as they will just play up your bust even more; instead, opt for a single-breast cut and stay away from pockets around the breast area.

If need be, have the jacket altered to fit your body shape, particularly if you have a large bust and a slimmer midsection. Make sure the fabric and/or closures do not pull around the bust area. If they do, you may need to go up a size and then alter the jacket accordingly.

V-Necks Are Best For Busty Bodies

Busty body types may find it difficult to find tops that enhance their curves without causing cleavage to bust right out of their shirt! Likewise, you do not want to be stuck wearing only dark colors.

Choose colorful tops in a v-neck style, which is slightly low-cut, but very elongating. Do not wear tops with loud prints, high necks or sleeveless cuts. This will only draw more attention to your bust area. Stay away from padding of any sort.

Stay Away From Baggy Tops

Avoid overly baggy tops. All too often, busty women think that hiding under baggy shirts will minimize their bust. However, it works adversely, making you look even bigger. Look for clothing with a slight shape that skim along your curves to enhance them.

Your bra is what makes the difference in how your bust looks under your clothing. If you are wearing the right bra, and you choose tops that are made to enhance plus-size curves, everything will fall right into place.

Choose Swimwear With Proper Support

Choosing the right swimwear when you are full-figured and busty is tough. It's important to have the best support possible. The best option is to purchase a suit with a built-in bra for added support. A halter style will help give you lift, but you need to be sure that you aren't bulging out of the side of the suit. A one-piece suit is best for this body type to really get the support needed to accommodate a large bust. That being said --- you can still be stylish.

Choose a funky print with a v-neck style to show off a little sexy cleavage. Dark is most slimming, but let's face it, it's far more fun to get into something colorful that plays up your wonderful curvy body. Who wants to be drab all the time? It's much more fun to parlay on the beach in fun, tropical colors that showcase the fun personality you possess.

Wear A Pencil Skirt

A pencil skirt will help draw attention away from your bust area. Pencil skirts are always in style and should be a staple in every plus-size closet. They flatter curves better than any other style of skirt and come in a variety of colors and styles. A pencil skirt will show off your subtle curves on bottom, highlight your legs and create a streamlined, lean look.

For busty shapes, wear a pencil skirt with a v-neck top or a crisp, button-down top. Just be sure your top is the right size and buttons are not pulling around the bust area. If this happens, you may need to go up a size or two and then have your shirt tailored to fit your midsection.

Save Strapless For Evening

It may be difficult, but busty types should avoid strapless numbers during the day. You only want to wear strapless clothing when you are going out in the evening and want your cleavage to be on display (which can have a devastatingly sexy effect --- if it's done right).

Strapless shirts and dresses give little to no support in the bust area and have minimal coverage --- meaning your cleavage will be front and center. Because of the amount of skin you are showing, this is a definite no-no for the office or everyday outfits.

Do it up in a classy way for nighttime. Make sure you aren't showing too much skin. Invest in a fabulous strapless bra and make sure it doesn't peek over the top of your shirt or dress. Wearing a great jacket when you are going strapless is the best way to show a little skin and cleavage and still maintain a classy, ladylike appearance.

Full-length Strapless Bra Keeps Your Breasts In Place

Busty body types often have trouble finding an evening dress that fits well. You are either bulging out of the top of the gown or stuffed down in there looking flat and oddly lumpy.

The solution to this problem is a full-length, well-fitting strapless bra. Extending down to the bottom of your torso, a full-length strapless bra will hold you in place and smooth out your stomach area, making the dress fit better and look better proportioned.

Choose a neutral color and avoid a piece with a lot of extra embellishments. It should fit comfortably and just slightly snug. Too tight and you end up looking --- and feeling --- like a stuffed sausage the entire time you are wearing the dress. The idea isn't to look smaller or thinner --- but rather, to keep your breasts in place and your overall midsection looking smoother.

Stick With Sleeves

Larger arms sometimes accompany a busty shape. The best way to combat this is by wearing shirts with sleeves -- either three-quarter length or long sleeves will do. For short-sleeved numbers, try a cap sleeve. This will minimize the meatiness of your arms and make your body look more proportioned.

Try not to wear too much arm jewelry, as your upper arms will look even bigger with many adornments at the wrist. Stick with one or two chunky pieces at a time and keep fine jewelry at a medium size; too small and your arms will look bigger.
