Not trying to be argumentative, but wondering why not? It's possible to belt them to create a waist line ( using different width belts) and unbutton at neck to create a V neck if desired. What type garment do you think is best for busty women?

Unless the dress is specifically made for larger busts, it will not work ~

Oh come on, what does that even mean? Very few people have their "own style." And whats's widely available st retail is dictated by trends anyway. I can't imagine judging someone for trying to look current at any age.

Shirt dresses make me look matronly! I age about 10 years as soon as I try one on.

Because your boobs don't allow for button-ups -- they cause gapping which looks terrible (or they literally bust open which is worse). Before my breast reduction, I hadn't worn a button-up shirt in over a decade. Sure, you can wear them with a cami underneath, but I think that looks awful as well. It's a fix for something that doesn't fit. And a real "shirtdress" is going to be a button-up.

Adding: if the problem is button gap, it's possible to add a hook and eye, or just use a safety pin.

Is Ina Garten your style icon? Unless you’re a size 2, they’re not going to be flattering, they’re going to look like you’re wearing your Jammie’s outside. Plus you have more money than sense.

Np - a size 2 can wear anything. When you are tall and curvy dressing for trends will not help you look younger or cooler, but you CAN look like a beautiful lady and shirt dresses are a simple way to achieve that. The key is that the dress should be tailored properly and accentuate the positive.
