The Potato-Sack Syndrome
When a busty woman tries on a dress, she often breathes a sigh of relief when it zips easily over her waist and her back. After all, we often need to go up a size to accommodate our widest measurement. Thus: the potato sack syndrome.

It’s what happens when you finally find a dress size that lays properly over your boobs, but the rest no longer touches your body at all. It's unavoidable to fix without a tailor, but we say: Embrace it. The potato sack might not sound like the sexiest of silhouettes, but this kind of loose, hanging style is actually liberating, especially when you’re no longer worrying about defining your waistline. For us, we especially love a "sack" with a slight, flared hem — something that will provide a bit more width at the bottom to balance your top.
The Barely-Closed Blazer
Like the buttons on your oxford, the one across the chest of your blazer may not fasten securely. Joy. But, blazers can actually be incredibly flattering — minimizing, even — on a bigger chest. The trick is to look for the cleanest, longest lines. With a silhouette that lengthens your torso, the measurement of your bust won't seem quite as wide. Also, don't stress about keeping your buttons closed. In fact, avoid buttons along your bust altogether; stick only to ones that secure past your widest part.

The Case For Cleavage
As full supporters of the "if you've got it, flaunt it" school of thought, we believe displaying a bit of your well-endowed cleavage is every busty girl's right. It's for this reason that the V-neck is forever a staple piece. Not only is a slight V-neck shape more effective at decreasing the appearance of your bust than a wide neck is (again, it creates a longer line down the front of the body), a deep V is also the most strategic shape for showing off skin. But, of course, you already knew that.
