Bust Issues

Dear Glinda:

A LOT of shirts are cut to emphasize smaller breasts, make them look larger, that sort of thing. I can't find a nice, tailored looking shirt that buttons up and doesn't gape over my chest. Help!

Mary –

This is something that everyone complains about. This is where you are going to have to get used to one word – tailor. What you need to do is fit your chest. Buy a shirt that fits your chest perfectly then get the rest tailored. It seems like a pain but if you love button down shirts this is something you are going to have to deal with (sorry to be harsh). But if you love something you either need to figure out how to work with it or leave it. If button down shirts don’t work for you why not try shirts that have a few buttons on the top instead of all the way down the shirt. It will give you the same feel but without the issues. Or maybe try a wrap shirt with a “protective” camisole underneath. There are plenty of ways to look polished without using button down shirt.

Fashionably,

Glinda
