[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: thank you all for your comments and suggestions! This bra fitting is one of many changes, all with a ripple effect: less and healthier eating, weight loss, teeth improvements, hair growing out, (hopefully) job stability... The next thing on my list is to meet with a stylist and I have a virtual call next week. The new bras are what pushed me over the edge to realize I need not only different sizes, but most likely different styles and brands of clothing.
I like the suggestion of trying knits. Thankful for the other poster with narrow shoulders. Confirmed my thoughts - will likely give away whatever blouses I have left that I keep thinking I'll wear some day/when I lose more weight. I already avoid embellishments, busy patterns and logos/words.

I'm 5'9". I'm almost into Tall fits but when I've tried, especially with jeans, I end up needing hemming or they're strangely too big elsewhere even if the regular size isn't too big. I do find that a lot of shirts/knits are too short on me- of course the bust is a factor but maybe I have a longish torso too.

I am curious about necklines - I am thinking of stepping away from crew neck and boat neck. Seems like V-neck (not too low of course) may flatter me most.[/quote]

OP I’m the one who asked about your height.  At 5’9” your chest is large but not overwhelming for your frame.  I’m 5’2” and 34E and I believe I’m able to successfully camouflage and not have my chest overwhelm a small frame, so I think you can too.  I’m in between misses and petite so I relate to the annoyance of being in between.

I choose clothes and jewelry with a strong vertical element to de-emphasize my chest.  No crew necks, typically no boat necks.  So this could be a dress with piping or vertical stripes, a v-neck sweater, etc.  Lots of knits.  I would rather show cleavage than look like balloons are strapped to my chest.  I wear a belt or have something somewhere to draw the eye away from the chest like even fancy earrings. I kind of avoid blouses in general unless they are fitted in a particular way so that I don’t look like I’m popping out of them without tailoring.  They exist!  You’ll find if you continue to get healthier your body shape will change too.[/quote]
