My body type is: BUSTY.
When shopping, I...
1. MUST have the proper fitted bra. A bra-fitting is a MUST. I had an excellent bra-fitting at Nordstorm, and a decent experience at this place called "Intimacy" as well. (I don't recommend Victoria's Secret for fittings--heard very negative things about getting fitted there). A large percentage of women are wearing the wrong sized bra (I was). It makes such a BIG difference in how your clothes fit and feel when wearing the proper bra.
2. whenever possible, do what I can to draw attention to the bottom half of my body and take attention away from the top half since I am so much bigger on the top. I tend to wear very thin, fitted (but not tight) tops, and thicker/heavier materials on the bottom. I also like to try dark or neutral, plain and solid tops, paired with printed and/or brighter colored bottoms (again to draw attention away from the top and create the illusion of a more proportioned figure)
3. needless to say, do not wear any super tight fitted tops. None of those small-holed t-shirts (just can't do it). No super heavy knitted and/or turtleneck tops. DEFINITELY can't do the cowl-neck. All of these things just make me look even more busty.
4. even though I'm short, instead of buying "short" jeans/pants all the time, I like to wear the regular sized ones, with heels because, quite naturally, this adds height to my body.
5. have alot of V-necks! Not to say you have to wear these all the time, but as a busty woman, I can say that compared to other cuts, the V-neck is usually quite flattering on me
