Ideas for styles/brands of shirts for the well endowed?

I am having issues with finding tops. I have gotten much bigger with my pregnancies ( we're talking DDD...horrifying) and I'm currently BFing and probably will be for another 3-4 months. I am finding that nothing fits me....I feel like I look even bigger than I actually am because of my chest, and some of the tops that I thought were OK on me make me look pregnant ( thank you random lady on the street for insisting I WAS pregnant even though I told you three times I wasn't).

So, if any of you are built this way too....what do you wear? Where do you shop?

I really feel for you. I went from 34d to 32DDDD (32G) with pregnancy and age-induced shifting (and it is all natural). I don't have any fabulous answers for you other than knits. And make sure the shirt skims fairly close to the torso if your post-partum body is ready for it. Belting the top can help, too.

I have good luck with Ann Taylor (although I have to do a petite top to keep from falling out the top). Boden fits pretty well, although it often requires a cami underneath. For casual wear, the new "fit 1/modern fit" from Lands' End works pretty well for my mommy figure. Very comfy and affordable v-neck tops.

Oh, and get fitted for a bra. You might be a totally different band size now, too. A bra that fits (good luck finding a nursing bra that is actually supportive!) will help, too.

Good luck!

I'm a 32DDD, and I've recently starting altering my shirts. I just sew in a couple of darts to make them more fitted. If you have some favorite good-quality shirts, I'm sure it'd be worth it to take them to a tailor and have it done.

How about Foxcroft? They have a few styles I really enjoy wearing-never thought I would say I would wear them but I broke down over the winter. Nordstrom carries them.
