Confidence Through Fit: Our Guide to Tops for Fuller Bust Women
Share
Let's face it: for women with fuller busts, finding the perfect top can feel like a never-ending quest. We've all been there - falling in love with a top in-store or online, only to try it on and discover it's not made to fit us with button gaps, unflattering fit, or tightness across the chest. At Kin+Star, we understand the struggle and are here to change that by designing tops that celebrate your shape and style.
Why Fuller Bust Tops Matter
The average UK woman wears a 36DD bra size, yet most mainstream fashion is designed for B cups. This disconnect creates a frustrating shopping experience for thousands of women. When clothing is designed without consideration for bust proportions, the results are predictable: gaping buttons, stretched fabric, and tops that ride up or hang awkwardly.
We help craft your signature style, curating pieces that complement your body and become wardrobe staples. A tailored shirt in classic colours transitions seamlessly from office days to weekend gatherings.
Our philosophy isn't about accumulating more - it's about investing in tops that truly fit. When something sits perfectly on your frame, you'll reach for it again and again. We all recognize that unworn item languishing in the wardrobe because it never quite worked - the piece that hangs untouched until your next decluttering session.
The Fuller Bust Comfort-Style Balancing Act
Comfort and style have often been seen as opposing forces, especially for women with fuller busts. But the truth is, they can - and should - coexist. The key is in the right fit.
When you find the perfect top, you don't have to choose between feeling comfortable and looking stylish. The right design can flatter your curves and provide all-day comfort.
A well-fitted top means no more:
- Constantly adjusting throughout the day
- Wearing layering pieces to hide fit issues
- Sizing up to accommodate your bust (creating a boxy fit elsewhere)
- Being limited to only certain styles or necklines
What Really Makes a Top Work for Fuller Bust Sizes?
- Fabric: Look for fabrics that stretch and move with you, allowing for both comfort and structure. Premium cotton with 2-5% elastane provides the perfect balance of breathability and flexibility.
- Tailoring: Proper fit in the bust, waist, and shoulders is key to creating a flattering silhouette. Our tops feature additional space in the bust area without adding bulk to the shoulders or waist.
- Necklines: Choose necklines that flatter your shape. V-necks elongate the neck and create visual balance, while scoop necks with the right depth offer elegance without excessive exposure.
- Strategic Darts and Seams: Thoughtful placement of seams and darts provides subtle shaping without compromising comfort. Our designs include princess seams and darts that follow your natural curves.
- Button Placement: We position buttons to eliminate gaping, with an optimal spacing that prevents the dreaded "peek-a-boo" effect between buttons.
Finding Your Perfect Fuller Bust Top Size
Traditional sizing methods often fail women with fuller busts. Here's how to find your true size:
- Measure your bust at the fullest point while wearing a supportive, non-padded bra
- Measure your underbust directly under your breast tissue
- Measure your waist at the narrowest point
- Compare these measurements to our size guide, prioritising bust measurement
The advantage we offer at Kin+Star is bust sizing, you choose your normal clothing size and then pick the closest bust size to find your perfect fit.
Necklines That Flatter Fuller Busts
Not all necklines are created equal when it comes to flattering fuller busts:
Most Flattering:
- V-necks (creates visual length)
- Sweetheart necklines (complements natural curves)
- Scoop necklines (offer elegance without excessive exposure)
Approach with Caution:
- High necklines (can create a "shelf" effect)
- Boat necks (may emphasize width)
- Standard slim button-down shirts (potential gaping issues)
