Can I wear suede shoes in the summer?
In search of white blazers to wear to the office in the summer
Q. My button front shirts always gap across my boobs. I wear minimizers, so what else can I do?
A. Wearing the right bra is part of the equation, but it's often not enough to help prevent shirts and blouses from puckering between the buttons, a common problem for women with larger chests. Here are a few tricks for making a button-down shirt work for you:
- Find a button-front shirt that fits well and doesn't pull across your chest, even if it's too big everywhere else. Take it to a tailor to have the rest of the shirt properly fitted. Your new "custom" shirt will be well worth the extra $10 or $20 for a proper fit.
- If your shirt fits fairly well across your chest but still gaps, use invisible double stick clothing tape to help prevent the puckering. Or for a more permanent solution, you can try sewing a small piece of velcro in between the buttons.
- Try wearing a pretty camisole under your shirt. Unbutton the buttons that are gaping for a quick and stylish solution.
