Big girls come in different shapes too, much though the fashion industry might tell you otherwise. For big girls with small boobs, it’s often like being in the minority of a minority. Flattering cuts are hard enough to find with a little extra everywhere, but wait! Where’s the extra in the chest?
Dress shopping can be even more of a nightmare, because a dress that fits and looks good has to fit and look good across the tummy and the chest. For looking cute or sexy this summer, remember that there are options just for you.
Quick tips for window shopping:
• Don’t forget, you have the advantage of being able to rock dresses with less fabric on top. Girls with big boobs will fall out of the stuff that, for you, lays nicely along the chest.
• Don’t believe anyone who says “never” to horizontal stripes. With the right cut, a dress with horizontal stripes can draw attention to your chest and help to balance out that perfect lady shape.
• Take joy in the fact that you don’t need a bra for some of these styles, and can be bolder with cut-outs and backless numbers.
From day dresses to date dresses, here are some features to look for on that next buy:
Blousy bodice and a low-waist cinch
Off-the-shoulder dresses with an elastic waist over the hips give you blouse in all the right places, and are easy to find. The poof in the chest will add a soft suggestion of bigger breasts, and the elastic waist drawing the blouse down to your upper hip will diminish your tummy. Not to mention, these dresses are extremely comfortable.
Cross-neck dresses
Cross-neck dresses are more popular now than ever, and with chunky cut-outs you can show off a little skin and stay in touch with the hottest fads. Cross-necks with thicker strips of fabric crossed over the shoulders diminish shoulder size and enhance boob size. And the thicker the cuts of fabric, the better the dress can double as a date or work dress. This style is a win-win.
Plunge dresses
Plunge dresses will look better on you than anyone! With satin fabrics among the more common materials for these dresses, skinny girls end up swimming in the skirt. And for anyone with boobs, tape and solution bras are the best they can do not to fall out or look overly sexualized. With your body type, your hips will look better in the skirt, and your chest will look more natural in the bust. Take advantage of the style that was practically made for you!
Three-piece ladies’ dress suit
Three-piece ladies’ suits with pencil skirts and button vests can look a lot sexier than you realize. With the vest under the jacket piece, you have a built-in shaper and can look professional and sexy at the same time. The high v-cut of the vest will add to your bust, and the jacket completes the look by shaping your shoulders. Try this look with or without a satin blouse under the vest, and take advantage of the different looks it gives you.
Dresses with bralette bodices
That’s right, the bralette of light, lacy support that’s built into the bodice of a dress is a style you can rock better than anyone. Big boobs don’t get enough support, and even with tape or bra solutions, they spill out or look overly sexualized. Bralettes are best when you can wear them without a bra at all, and the natural shape of your more petite boobies will look incredible under the lace. These dresses are often sexier, form fitting numbers, but the tight fit gives you extra support and will boost confidence.
Halter dresses
Any halter dress is a win-win! This is yet another dress ideal for someone who can rock it without a bra, and halters also enhance your bust line and show skin while still giving you a classy look. Halters are great for diminishing your shoulders and drawing attention up the neck and down the bust. If you’re feeling flirty, these are one of the best styles to shop for.
Halter dresses are also extremely popular, and therefore easy to find. There will be endless styles and colors to choose from, and they are typically long-lasting and require little care. If you need an easy go-to with dress shopping, the halter dress will hit the mark.
With all the body positive language out there today, big girls with small boobs are still under-represented. Having a little extra definitely doesn’t mean having a little extra everywhere, but we all want our chance to feel confident and sexy. Take a look at these dresses and start shopping for summer! Double-bonus: these dresses are all extremely photogenic. You can snap a million photos that you’ll look back on someday and say, “I loved that dress.”
