Blouses & Shirts

A blouse is a blouse, right? Wrong. There are many more cuts and styles out there than you may realize, and you just might be wearing the wrong one for your bust size. Even the size of your collar can make a difference. Here's the lowdown:

Full Bust

• Look for tops that are fitted, with deep, vertical V-necks. Wear styles that have small, vertical lapels and collars, with a bare minimum of detail. Styles with bust darts often fit better.
• Avoid pockets at all costs and stay away from styles with horizontal detailing, big lapels or collars and large prints.

Small Bust

• Look for fitted tops with narrow V-necks. Create fullness with breast pockets, ruffles, smocking and gathering. Try wide lapels and collars.
• Avoid voluminous or structured tops that you don't completely fill out.
