Curves Rule and Flat Is Fabulous:. Rita Mauceri
stock her closet with them. From classic button-downs with a touch of stretch to gauzy girly numbers, blouses forever remain a feminine and flawless look.
Busties: The vertical line of buttons helps balance out Busty bods beautifully. Well-endowed gals who have issues with buttons pulling and popping can buy a size larger and have the rest of the blouse tailored to fit…or wear a cami under the blouse and leave it partially unbuttoned. Styles with tiny prints and subtle textures, small collars, no pockets, and toned-down details are most flattering.
Tatas: Fitted button-downs can be a Tata’s best friend. Slip on a cute tank underneath (to add a little extra layer to the chest) and leave just one or two top buttons undone for a relaxed yet polished look. Blouses with ruffles, smocking, chest pockets, and wide collars can further amp up your boobs.
Belly Babes: Belly Babes are stunning in button-downs that have a little stretch in the fabric, along with a feminine, tailored cut. Look for cuts that cinch in a bit right above the waistline and then flare out. Sheer swinging-cut blouses made from whispery lightweight cottons and silks are also ultra-flattering—layer over a cami for a great night-out look.
Broads: Broads can work this style flawlessly. Keep it unbuttoned a bit lower to create a feminine look—sexy instead of stiff. Play with subtle vertical pinstripes or small patterns and textures for added interest. Tuxedo-style blouses are a great match for you as well.
SEXY DRAPED TOPS: Whether showing off silky shoulders, that defined (and divinely alluring) collarbone, or those beautiful breasts (large or small), we have a lot to flaunt. And our stash of sexy, draped tops helps us do just that. Blousy spaghetti straps, flowing numbers, and off-the-shoulder cuts will help make the most of your assets. The right fabric is key to getting a look that is truly sexy—fluid silks, sheer chiffons, and loose rayons are what it’s all about. And the right foundation pieces are a must, too, so stock up on nude and black bras and camis.
Busties: Slip into a draped V- or cowl neck to help soften the bustline and accentuate the upper body. Experiment with strapless bras or wear a cami with built-in support underneath satin or sheer styles. Convertible halter-style bras can also be a lifesaver with this alluring top.
Tatas: These tops were made for you. The drapey styling helps accentuate a smaller chest. And you’ll look your sexiest in sleeveless or off-the-shoulder cuts that draw attention to alluring assets such as shoulders and arms.
Belly Babes: Perfect for concealing a tummy, silky flowing styles will show off your shoulder blades and back, and steer focus away from the belly. Look for flared off-the-shoulder pieces that are slightly cinched at the waist. Take full advantage of drapey fabrics such as buttery cotton jersey or silk charmeuse.
Broads: Soft silky cowl necks or plunging necklines will flatter your shoulders in just the right way. Play up your décolletage with a bit of beading or sequins around the neck and bust.
WRAP TOPS: Wrap shirts should be a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. They lift and define our boobs, shape our waist, love our tummy, and flatter our hips. We can find no fault! Hip-length styles work best on all different body types—and from there you can take your pick of long- or short-sleeve and even sleeveless wrap tops (which are not only summer necessities but can easily spice up any evening look year-round).
Busties: The wrapped styling and sexy V-neck is ideal for you. As always, a supportive bra is essential. The plunging cut shows off just the right amount of skin but doesn’t leave you overexposed. If the V winds up falling a bit too low exposing more of you than you’d like, slip on a delicate lace cami underneath for added coverage.
Tatas: Make the most of wrap tops by layering a colorful cami underneath and wearing styles where the V hits a bit higher up on the chest. Add a chunky necklace to enhance your upper bod and you’re ready to go.
Belly Babes: Wraps are perfect for Belly Babes since they define the waist, helping to create an hourglass look. Look for extra wrapping and gathering around the tummy for the most flattering fit.
Broads: The natural V-neckline shifts the focus downward and brings attention toward the waist. Your best bet would be a dark, solid wrap shirt with ¾-length sleeves, helping to create a lean, feminine figure.
TANKS AND HALTERS: These are two sexy styles for showing off your upper body assets. We love wearing them alone during the warm-weather months or underneath fitted jackets. It’s a look that demands support, especially for Busties, so remember to grab a halter-cut bra in the lingerie department.
Busties: Look for V-neck halters to show off your killer cleavage. Another great option: halters that cut straight across—these will give you a bit more coverage. As for tanks, try pieces that are designed with thicker straps and cut higher up beneath the arm for added support.
Tatas: Wide-set halter straps help create the illusion of a bigger chest. Styles with ruching around the bust will enhance the effect even more. Tank tops are ultra-flattering—try out styles embellished with beading or patterns, or made of thicker, textured fabrics to give some added oomph to your upper bod.
The Wiggles
The Wiggles are those mysterious little flabs on the back of our arms (the area muscle-pumping guys call a “tricep”). Since most of us may not have hours to spend at the gym trying to tighten them up, we’ve come up with a few tricks. Among our favorites: ¾-length-sleeve tees, elbow-length cashmere cardigans, and bell- or kimono-sleeved tunics…perfect for flattering those little somethings you haven’t had the chance to work on just yet.
Belly Babes: Halters are a great style for your shape—especially baby dolls. They cinch at the chest and drape downward, flattering the tummy. Stick with fabrics that have a bit of stretch and lay softly over the skin. Flared, empire-waist tanks with wider straps are another flattering option.
Broads: The plunging neckline of halters balances broader shoulders and elongates your shape by drawing attention front and center. As for tanks, experiment with racer backs, which can flatter and feminize the line of your shoulders.
EMPIRE WAIST: This is a look that’s drenched in femininity. When you want to flatter an extra bit of belly or amp up a small chest, head straight for this style. With a raised waistline that hits just below the bust, empire tops flatter long torsos because they camouflage the natural waistline, and short torsos because they lengthen the midsection. In other words, it’s hard to go wrong. Since this tends to be a more voluminous look, empire waists often work best with more fitted bottoms. There’s something easygoing and a bit bohemian about this style—top it off with a pair of wedges and a long, beaded necklace for an effortlessly sexy look.
Busties: V-neck styles in soft, brushed cottons with ruching beneath the bust help create an hourglass shape. Kimono-style empire waists are especially flattering (on various body types) and we love them because the flared arms balance out bigger boobs. Busties should look for lower empire tops that sit below the boobs rather than cutting across them.
Tatas: This is the ideal top for small busts, especially when it’s fitted. The tight cinch under the bust will help make the breasts look bigger, creating a curvier figure. Sign us up! For a little extra punch, Tatas can try on styles that have extra detailing, such as belts or bows just under the boobs.
Belly Babes: Empires are the Belly
