I tend to dress in vintage clothes because back then, they were tailored more for women and their curves. I want to see styles that cater for a bust, nip in the waist, and give that desirable hourglass shape while looking effortless, not tarty or matronly. After all, the average bra size in America is a 34DD. It’s easy to design clothes that look good on a flat-chested model, but I want to see more designers designing with the female form in mind-that really emphasize yet flatter the female figure. I’m usually the girl shooting the sheer bras where you can’t get away using chicken fillets. A lot of clients shoot B cups and usually my boobs look a little too much when you put me in one of those extreme padded push-up bras. I have been turned down for high fashion jobs, and even for certain lingerie jobs my boobs can be considered too big. Luckily, I’ve found clients and photographers that love and embrace my frame. My chest will always limit the fashion work I get, but it also sets me apart and makes me somewhat unique in the fashion world. It’s frustrating when it’s my chest that’s the problem as there’s really nothing I can do about it except, of course, a breast reduction (which had been suggested to me a few times). A lot of the time no one says anything to me directly, but it’s not difficult to read body language on set. I’ve been on shoots where I’ve felt so uncomfortable, where the stylist and client look concerned and talk under their breath. It can be quite awkward working with clients that didn’t realize my cup size before they booked me. So I asked seven stylish women how they feel about having big tits in an industry that oftentimes makes clothes for flat silhouettes, how it affects their personal style, and most importantly, how they wear their boobs to full capacity. “You look amazing!”ĭressing bigger breasts (and I fully get that mine are on the smaller scale of big) is hard, but dressing them fashionably can be near impossible if you don’t know what you’re doing. “I never knew you had boobs!” she exclaimed. A few months earlier, she had come up to me at a party, where I was self-consciously wearing a very tight top, and celebrated my tits like newly found treasure hoisted up from deep and murky waters. “You need things which accentuate you, rather than just hang off your boobs like a tent, which makes you look like you have a fat stomach by accident,” Sciortino advised over the phone. It wasn’t until meeting Karley Sciortino, who dresses her 32DDD boobs flawlessly by showing off their shape while simultaneously keeping them-for the most part-covered, that I began to understand that big boobs can be chic.even cool. They look great hanging off the flat-chested models that wear them it just took me since puberty to realize they don’t look as great on me. This was something Alexa Chung said in a 2011 interview with British Vogue that not only stuck with me throughout my twenties, but confirmed in some small way that how I was dressing at the time (hiding my own 34C boobs) was, in fact, considered chic.įor years, I have tried to compress my chest (usually with no-wire triangle bras that flatten rather than add lift), or hide my breasts in oversized oxford shirts, loose-fitting cashmere sweaters, and baggy white T-shirts tucked into mini skirts or jeans. It’s just I have such clavicle issues, I don’t like them on show.”
