Comments on How to Downplay Large Breasts

Get measured at a department store, and buy measuring tape so you can keep track at home.

I'm an E cup and Ive found a dark color top that doesnt cling is the best way to downplay my breasts.Sports bras just make me look mishapen.I also have some bras that flatten my breasts out but they are uncomfortable and create cleavage starting all the way up under my chin.

I find that I look MUCH smaller when I don't wear a bra. Bras push everything together and sometimes even up to under your throat. I wear a top that is loose across the chest - a tank with a shelf bra worn with a jacket or loose knit open sweater is a great minimizer.

If you can't find a traditional bra in your size, go for a nursing bra (even if you aren't nursing)! They tend to have more support and they come in bigger sizes. Look up a bra specialty store, rather than buying one at a department store. These places usually don't have much of a selection in larger sizes. Especially if you have a large cup size and don't have a large band size.

Find a store that specializes in lingerie for bridal trousseau's. For those of us with much bigger breasts (I'm a 34-H), we have a tendency to try to make up for the poor fit/ nonexistent bras in our size by purchasing bras to make do with. Try a larger cup with a smaller band, and you might just get it right (I did!). Also, always wear your breasts proudly. After nursing two children for a total of almost 4 years, I realize how wonderful and necessary they really are.

If your cup size is a DD or above, Frederick's of Hollywood has bras in DD and F, including strapless in those sizes. It is very hard to find DD's at Victoria's Secret anymore. Also, WalMart has a great selection of DD's that are just as cute as their smaller sizes and are only $10. Baggy t-shirts only make you look heavier than you are, and do not hide your large endowment.

I have found that tight sports bras work in downplaying my breasts. The only downfall is that it gives you a unaboob.

I am a size DD cup. I love Victoria's Secret bras. They give you the support and cut you want (push up, seamless), and they come in my size! (which is often hard to find.) However, I can't afford to shop there very often. What I do is, I take advantage of their semi-annual sales. I stock up while their great bras are dirt cheap.

Don't be ashamed of your boobs! Good posture will make you look better than anything - don't slouch and let your boobs dangle, and don't thrust your chest up too much, like you're aiming canons! Keep your back straight, and your shoulders down.
