If you have a large bust, you know the drill. You buy a cute top in your usual size, and the buttons strain. The waist is baggy. The neckline either suffocates you or reveals too much. Mainstream fashion has long ignored the fact that bust size changes everything —from how fabric drapes to where a waist seam should hit.
This is the silent killer of big-bust style. Empire waists sound nice ("Look, a waistline under the bust!"), but they often turn you into a maternity-wear mannequin.
