Being well endowed on top is not always what it seems. Although many women envy your breasts, you do not share the same sentiment. Being “busty” can affect a woman both emotionally and physically. It seems like your clothes never fit you right and you can’t pull off certain looks the way your medium to flat chested friends can. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help make the most of what you received. The worst thing a big-chested woman can do is embarrass herself or hide her breasts.

The best place to start is with a bra that fits you well. Nothing can help you more than a bra made especially for you. Invest in some quality bras that will give you the support you need and you’ll feel better about your body in no time. Although a quality bra can cost you a pretty penny, you should think of it as the foundation for all your other clothes. Buying the right bra will instantly change the way your everyday clothes fit, making it a worthwhile investment.

When it comes to bras, you can also consider investing in a sports bra. Although the name might suggest that you need to play sports or run marathons, your action-packed daily routine is enough to qualify you for one of these bras. Sports bras have come a long way from the supportive, but uncomfortable and unattractive bras of the past. Major women’s clothing companies are marketing sports bras that not only provide support, but are just as comfortable and attractive as regular bras. For women with large busts, sports bras can offer the comfort and support they need to keep their biggest asset in place while they work or play.

Now that you have the right foundation, the next challenge is finding clothes that accentuate your positives and help you feel more comfortable. For women with a large bra size, this can be a frustrating search. When it comes to finding tops, keeping these tips in mind will make your search go smoothly:

• Look for shirts that accentuate your breasts in just the right way. Stay away from shirts with extra ruffles and ties at the top. These will draw attention to your chest making it appear even bigger. Instead, look for tops that accentuate your breasts without making them appear larger. Scoop neckline and V-neck tops are very flattering for large-chested women. These undershirts work to create an invisible line from the neck to the torso, creating a slimmer appearance and maximizing the breasts.
• Find t-shirts that are made of a stretchy material. Since her breasts are above average, shirts may not always fit her well. They can stretch and wrinkle in all the wrong places, hurting your natural figure. Shirts, especially button-downs, that are made from a stretchy material give you the extra room you need without having to change shirt sizes.
• When it comes to tank tops, always go for the ones with a built-in bra. While this may not act as sufficient support on its own, it can help create a smoother look when worn with a bra. Tank tops that have seams directly below the bust line also help create support and are visually appealing.
• Many women are tempted to hide their large chests with oversized tops. Instead of helping your appearance, these actually work against you. The larger top leaves you with nothing to break up your top half. Tops that are too big make the entire top look big instead of just the chest.
• For those who have them, large breasts can be a curse. However, the best way to look good is to accept the body that has been given to you. It is important that you see your chest as a beautiful and normal part of the female anatomy.
