How to Make the Woman Dress the Bust
When your cup doesn't exactly runneth over, it can be hard to feel feminine in our breast-obsessed world.
But bigger isn't always better, and while there are challenges to dressing a small chest, there are advantages. Here are 9 tips on how to dress to look and feel feminine when you are flat-chested.
1. Try an Interesting Neckline
Fortunately, there's an upside to your lack of cleavage. It allows you to pull off cowl neck tops and plunge V necklines. Both styles look quite elegant and are the best tops for small-busted women.
The cowl neck adds more volume, enhancing the appearance of your chest. The V-neck closely hugs the curve of your breasts, making " the girls" look bigger than they really are.
Just be sure to wear a good bra. Push-up styles are the best bras for small-busted women who want to create cleavage.
Long necklaces that fall between your breasts create a fuller look by filling up space. Shorter styles draw attention to your collarbone, creating a dainty, ladylike look.
2. Create Curves
Looking curvier instead of sticking straight also helps you look chestier. The best kinds of clothes for small-busted women nip in at the waist, making your bust look fuller by contrast.
A fitted jacket is a great example of this. Belting a shirt or top at your natural waist also helps emphasize what's up top too.
3. Try Strapless Styles
Many gals over 40 prefer to steer clear of strapless. However, a small bustline means your breasts will stay in place effortlessly, and your dress will highlight one of your most feminine body parts – your collarbone. Ensure the top of the shirt or dress hits high on the chest to avoid showing too much skin.
4. Show Some Skin
Here's a great trick. Distract the eye with a low back or backless dress for instant oomph. This dressing tactic might feel risky after 40, but it can be demurely sexy when done right. In fact, most older women have beautiful upper backs because this is not an area that is affected so much by age.
The key to keeping backless classy and not trashy is to make sure your neckline and hem are modest compared to your exposed back.
Another way to enhance your profile is to wear tops with lots of detail. For example, tops with lots of sequins, buttons, flap pockets, or ruffles covering your chest area visually add weight making your breasts look fuller. This is a good trick to use when you want to go with a lighter bra because your heavy wire push-up is starting to make you feel like you are wearing a floatation device!
6. Wear Scarves
Take inspiration from Audrey Hepburn, who had a small bust but chose to play up other parts of her figure.
Audrey always looked classy- and no one missed the cleavage. One of her favorite tricks? Wearing a boatneck top with a cute scarf to distract from her bust and draw all eyes to her shoulders, neck, and collarbone.
Built-in cups, boning, or darts that you can't fill out will make it look like you forgot your breasts at home! Stay away from details like this up top.
8. Enjoy Strappy Styles
Halter dresses and tops were designed for smaller chests. Thin straps also work.
One of the prettiest tops for a small bust is a camisole with fine, delicate straps worn under a blazer for a look that goes from work to dinner effortlessly.
No matter how small your chest, have confidence in your cup size. There are plenty of bras out there for small-busted women that create the illusion of more if that is what you want, and besides, think of Audrey…Beauty is being, not the bustline.
