Personal style vs. bigger bust clothes
A few weeks ago I also posted here about this general topic and the rules to dress a bigger bust.
Now I like to ask if you like the style in the clothes offered by fuller bust brands?
Does it work with your personal style? Or do you only turn to fuller bust brands for basics like button down shirts? I just feel a bit lost between wanting to dress in comfortable well fitted clothes and bring in a bit of personal style.
Did the kibbe system help you with style? Or do you just wear whatever? Also how to dress non frumpy as a plus size busty woman, when so many trendy clothes just do not work?
I really like Bravissimo's offering as they look more flattering on me than regular tops and dresses. I often have the issue that high street tops fell too small in the arm area which is causes by my chest taking more room making it fit smaller in that area. (I don't think I have too large arms) Wiht Bravissimo I don't have that issue. On the other side most of their styles are really just a bit basic. Same goes for Urkye tops but I struggle more with sizing there.

My style is definitely different from the full bust clothes. I don't care for most of them. I also don't want to show cleavage or have my bust on display in any way, but I want more space for my chest in regular clothes. So fuller bust clothes doesn't really work the way I'd want them to for my personal...style?
I like a bit younger clothes like Abercrombie/Hollister dresses and skirts. A lot of Bravissimo is either too mature/boring, or sexy for me. I also love boho clothing like Free People, but these styles doesn't really fit a curvy body and stuff always pull in the chest area so I just want a bit of extra space in the chest without 1) making my waist baggier by sizing up or 2) making my waist tighter like full bust brands want.
They have very few items on bravissimo I like, maybe 1 dress and 1 top. I'd try if they weren't so pricey. (Especially now with brexit, they'd have to be on sale for 75% off or something) I pay around £30 for dresses generally so yea.. but mostly bravissimo and those other full bust brands are just not my style.
I like some of Fuller bust basics as I don't dress very fancy. I kinda dislike all the wrap styles - despite what they claim, there is no way around wearing a cami top or sewing it together if you have a larger chest and don't want half of your bra exposed.
But also some styles are too mature or too office or occasion for me. But I understand why they offer those styles. In professional setting clothes that fit are even more important. I just wish bust friendly clothing became more main stream so brands start make also other styles for fuller busts.
It's not just the waist it's also the armholes or shoulder-width that gets problematic once you size up. If you don't size up clothes feel tight and uncomfortable.
It's so hard to find personal style if you are so limited in options. It's not even my chest it's also my size, bc here many affordable brands only carry up to size 42 EU which is 14 UK. Plus size clothing they don't have in store most of the time so you have to shop online. Also happens a lot to me that biggest straight size (14) is too small on me, but smallest plus size (16) is too big! The mid-size struggle is real :(
