Body Shapes: Top Heavy

What are the best styles to wear if you have a bigger bust? Our fashion expert reveals the most flattering fashions for top heavy ladies

Style tips to flatter your top heavy body shape

- Deep v-necks are a top-heavy girl's dream come true because they lengthen the neck and create a super-flattering shape.

- Avoid at all costs smock-style dresses and blouses that hang directly from the bust. They make you look large in places where you are not. Instead, opt for clothes with under the bust shaping to show off your curves.

- Finding a shirt to fit a top-heavy figure is always tricky. Ensure that you choose one with a low neckline and avoid buttoning it up to the neck. Also, try to go for softer fabrics that won't cling to your shape unnecessarily.

- Balance out your bottom half with a floaty skirt neatly cinched in at the waist with a belt.
