Busty Body Type Guide

By , About.com Guide

Busty women have a very different concern when it comes to plus-size fashion. We may have gorgeous, full bustlines, but even plus-size clothes don't always flatter our bodies properly. Take a chance and read up on busty body types today.

Review these tips to dress your busty body up right:

1. Page through your tees and discover where you can improve your style.

The trick about tops for busty women is that they can't be your usual average tees. If you love simple tees with cute scoop necks, make sure that they dip a little lower than usual ones.

2. Take advantage of your ample assets for going out.

If you're looking for a top to go out in, you don't have to settle for something cleavage baring. Instead, you can wear a shirt with a more defined waistline or shaped sleeves in a luxe fabric. The most important part of dressing up is feeling comfortable.

3. Don't forget about dresses.

If you get tired of tops and you need budget options for all seasons, look for a dress that highlights your bust in a subtle, tasteful way. A little lace and a shaped bustline will take you far for work or play.

4. Identify the right coats for your figure.

Sashes, high collars, and princess seams all add up to a more shapely figure even when you're fighting cooler weather.

5. Find stores with pieces that are designed for a woman with a rounded bustline.
