Dressing for your body type

[MichelleIMG]

Wear what makes you comfortable and what you think you look good in :D

ok so what I think would look good would be a lowrise pant or skirt to elongate teh waist
Make sure the pants are straight cut as if they are skinny around the legs it will make your top look heavier

As for a top get something that has the empire waist and not too low cut but a v neck or scoop neck to elongate the neck. Overall in theory you should look tall and classy with an hourglass shape.

Hope this kinda helps.........

Sadly, even empire waist tops don't work for me. I'm usually spilling out of them, because the way they are designed assume overall size conforms with a standard bust size. So, I'm usually spilling out of the ones meant for my body size...

To give you an idea of the disproportionality of my body: I wear size 29 pants but have to special order bras. Ugh....and my chest saggily hangs down to my waist (not a Hollywood bust, at all!)

Reduction worked for my mom and I hope it does for me, too. The only thing is that the doctor advised me to get the procedure after I am completely done having children as they will just increase again...
(and i think I want to have at least one more)...

Sorry, that was probably a super tangent...

awe maiden, don't despair. so many women have this problem.

i would definitely layer, as that will at least help to camoue the cleavage

That's why I took up sewing... There's a 10 inch difference between my bust and my waist. Some stores, like H&M, only allow a three inch difference between bust measurement and waist measurement.

Maidennomore, hope you find something that works for you. I wear empire-waisted tops too, but usually have to do alterations or have someone else do them for me.

Wrap dress Wrap dress wrap dress. I cannot say this enough!! If you have tummy issues or want to mask anything in the torso area (even large breasts), or really for anyone who wants to look put-together and chic, get a WRAP DRESS!!! Dianne Von Furstenburg invented these in the 70s, and now they are everywhere.
Try one on, and you will be a believer- it flatters EVERYONE!!
Trust me.
