Doesn't that make it hard to get on?
It’s like any other shirt you pull on over your head.
The fact it’s not completely closed means it’s not as hard as some other tops

I have a large bust but I like to wear button-down style shirts. I keep lots of double-sided tape handy (I order the Hollywood brand tapes from Amazon) to keep the shirt closed at the bust line. It’s such a pain but it’s how I manage it.

I have a large chest but narrow shoulders. I can only wear button downs that have puffy shoulders. Otherwise it is bad.

Is the button down a requirement? Because there are so many better options for busty women. I am a 38F and would never wear one.

A minimizer bra. But agree with PP that with a larger size and larger bust they are just best avoided. I don't wear them (size 16 40F).

Find one that is a cotton Lycra blend, has a darted bust (so fitted). Or buys ones that are all silk
Why do you want to wear button downs? They're not the most flattering when you have a large chest.

100% agree on tailoring. It's expensive, but necessary.

Flare out the shoulders and hips to suggest an hourglass.

A great bra and a tailored shirt. I don't wear those shirts anymore but when I did I had to get them tailored because I'd have to buy for my bust size and then it would be too big everywhere else. And for a bra, you want one that really lifts them and perks them up. A bad bra can make boobs hang low and I think that leads to the unflattering look.

What is the secret? I’m a size 14 38i bra.
