Pls do more petite with large bust videos...loved loved this...
Thank you! Sure!
I think scoop necks,square necks also work well unless it shows too much bosom..
I definitely have the issue of wanting to wear baggy or oversize clothes so I don't want to make everyone look at my chest. I really love the look of tent and babydoll clothes, but am an hourglass, so it definitely makes me look 30 pounds heavier. Plus, I've got a 34DD chest, so ... definitely doesn't do me any favors. But I love it! it's so sad :(
I feel the same way :( I dont want to look sexy, I want to look cute and sweet
yes, and just forget high necklines
I love that you mentioned the importance of great bras AND not going to Victoria Secret to get sized (they will lie about your size just to sell bras). For women with large chests and smaller rib cages, I highly recommend Freya bras. They go down to 28 size band and go into K-sized cups. It's a life changer. Plus they're really cute and have fun prints - not just beige.
I’m a size 34H and I just gotta say I hate the freya bras they are the most uncomfortable bras I’ve ever worn in my life and the gores of the bras always stab me in the chest
@@eternalrose98 sorry to hear that. They're the only bras that fit me comfortably. I'm a 30HH. All the others gap too much or stab me.
Amen to the Freya bras! Being a I-cup they are all I ever wear.
Freya are amazing am 32DD
"Fun prints and not just beige" is a minus for me. It's so hard to find a nice beige bra. All of them are "fun prints", laces, shiny material, etc. It's impossible to wear them with a basic white t-shirt.
Thanks for this video. Most people don't know how difficult it is to be petite with large bust. I am the worst combination of all: petite, large bust, apple shape, curvy.
Shopping for ANY style of clothing is a complete nightmare. It has made me hate shopping and I never want to go out because it requires dressing up or looking nice. Everything is a challenge. Your videos have helped improve my decisions on some of the pieces I buy. I will continue watching!
Thank you Shara- so glad you find it helpful!
With great respect, I have a similar shape. Try to find the positive aspects to focus on. Look at how many women pay lots of money and endure surgery to get bigger breasts. They wish they had what you and I naturally have. I'm working on slimming down. A little self-love can go along way. I'm watching my negative self-talk as well. With great respect.
@@judiko142 Thank you so for your kind words/advice. I am trying to love my body again. It takes time. The large breasts are just uncomfortable at this point. I am looking into reduction surgery to be honest. It hurts my back terribly. I have also been on a weightloss journey. I am half-way to my goal. So far I am already feeling much more confident in my clothes. But, you are right. It is all about appreciating what you have.
I have considered breast-reduction surgery as well, but it turns out I actually scar. Not keloid, but hypertrophic. So the scars really show up (I’m pale). I also always keep in mind some wise words from Jamie Lee Curtis, something like fixing things doesn’t always fix things. And if you look at other stars her she, you can see that she was right. So I’m trying to lose a bit of weight so I’m happier with my size, and I’m trying to be nicer to myself. I hope anyone who’s reading this will too. ❤️
@@Im_so_Retro85 be encouraged.
I could never figure out why the paper bag shorts never looked right on me. Thank you for finally helping me understand that proportion.
Does this tip apply to all draw string type waists? I had a draw-string skirt on this morning and it was the same problem. I think we need these tips - especially in warm weather climates.
I have this problem too in paper bag pants but I love them so much I can't let them go.
Thank you for the tips for petite w/ large bust.I can only use a few because I also have a large “menopause belly”. My belly is the bane of my existence!!
Well done! From a petite 5'3" girl with a 32DDD bust you got everything spot on in my books. I hate high waisted pants because I end up with no torso, V-necks and scoop-necks are the only t-shirts I wear and even though I wear dress shirts they nearly all have hidden pins between the buttons where my boobs are. Of course, bra selection is the key to everything.
Glad you find it helpful!
Totally get it! 34G here.
I'm a petite with large breast so this video was totally relatable and informative for me. I specially like the neck line tip. For me this tip was very helpful because I used to love turtle neck clothes but they don't look good on me so I was alway confused that what is the perfect neck line for a person like me, but now I know, all thanks to you and your video. Thank you so much for such a lovely information and also thanks for mentioning the brands 😊😊😊
Thank you!
Wacoal makes really nice bras for petite bodies with large busts. I am a 34DDD and I find most underwires go up too high in my armpits. Wacoal has shorter underwires and are so comfortable.
Yes! I agree.
I'm a petite hourglass with a large bust and I ALWAYS had a hard time dressing myself! THANK YOU
You're welcome, Tiffany! I hope this video helped you ✨❤️
This is the best video I have ever seen to address this body type and considerations that come with it. It frustrates me when channels only recognize short torso with long legs or long torso with short legs. It really does feel like being a busty petite combines the struggles of both those worlds. People like me may have a long torso, but 70% of it is taken up by my boobs. So I end up feeling like I have virtually no space on the top or the bottom. Please release more content for our shape. I think your ability to provide such specific insights to a body type that is not yours only demonstrates how smart and flexible you are at what you do.
Thank you! So glad you find it helpful!
After having a baby last year, I gained so much weight and my bust size has grown a lot. Since my body has changed I no longer feel confident in clothes. Thanks to the tips in this video, I am excited to shop for new clothes and hopefully this will help in my journey to love my body again. Thank you.
Thank you, Sarce! I am happy to hear that my videos helped you! ❤️
Thank you for taking the time to address the concerns of petite ladies with larger breasts. It certainly is not easy for myself to find garments that fit well, it’s at times impossible. I appreciate your video very much and encourage you to keep us in mind. Thank you and well done.
Thank you, Suzanne! Even Petite ladies have different body shapes. So happy this video helps! ❤️
Nordstrom's works miracles for bras! Highly recommended for the elomi bras. Thank you for your tip on darts for dress shirts. My job's uniform is compromised of dress shirts now I know what to look for!
Yep- Nordstrom carry most!
Nordstrom has Elomi? I did not know this. Petite with an G cup 😭 Thank you
We need more videos like this please. Hopefully more recommendations on what to wear for women with larger chest with a petite body ❤️
Thanks for a great video. It would be great to see more petite, big bust videos. You are right, it is SO hard to find the right clothes. Most all advice is wrong, and most of the fashion channels are by tall, thin girls who can wear anything.
Please explore more clothing tips for petite apple shapes with large busts. I’ve struggled for years to find flattering clothes, only to be disappointed over and over. For example what other dress shapes are flattering? Thanks 🤩
Hi Ashley! For us apple (I'm one too), the important thing is to define waist without drawing too much attention to the belly, so that means lower necklines are flattering (accentuate our chest), and wearing a dress (]draw attention to our legs!).
Highly recommend Her Room for bras of all sizes! I'm a 32DD/DDD and you're so right about bras (and everything!)
This video is a good reference for us, short (5'1") ladies. Good job! 💃💋
This was helpful but I'd love to see more - and maybe something added for those of us that struggle with larger arms added to this already difficult situation😐
*I never understood why so many clothing companies for women, never make the arm holes big enough, Even with most plus size clothing for women, the arm holes are too small. Even if it just fits what if someone wants to wear a sweater under that coat? No room. Even when I was just a size 8, I never had pipe cleaner size arms. I do weights to tone my arms so there's muscles, do manufactures forget that? lol*
So lovely, thank you for helping us! For your viewers, don’t want to iron? For instance baggy T Shirt? Fill spray bottle with water, spray hanging T Shirt (or other clothing item) with it, smooth with hand, leave hanging to dry. Follow same procedure for slightly wrinkly coming out of dryer. Quite wrinkly? Spray more and throw in dryer with same coloured towel on lower heat. Still wrinkly? Spray again, and smooth. Stroll wrinkly? Iron, lol, or ignore cause you’ve run out of time, lol. Best to get prepared night before. Hope this helps 😉😘
Thanks again for such great information, I am 4"8, big chest, thick arms, big bust, thick legs, have tried to stay away from jeans, because I have never felt good in jeans, I lean more on dresses, skirts, jeggings, dress pants, but even then, I am learning so much more on the dos and don'ts of how to put it all together to look a little taller, it's a struggle especially when you don't have a clue to do it, please keep putting out this information'
Sure, I will!
I m same!
I am two dress sizes larger on the top than on my bottom. Dresses and tailored coats are impossible to find. I find that a loose top in a fine/light fabric that drapes well is forgiving but you must wear something very streamlined on the bottom eg a hobble skirt or Capri pants. Seeing the narrow bottom, gives the effect that your whole body is that shape but the top looks bigger because of the extra fabric. Any sort of opaque chiffon or silk works wonders. I always go darker on my top....in fact, I usually wear monochrome. That works.
I love your beautiful , caring, helpful energy. Your videos are absolutely wonderful!!!! Thank you for all your hard work to make us feel good about ourselves through how we dress!!! Happy Thanksgiving!! Grateful I found you today!!
i’m a teenager who’s 5’1 and a 34GG, i’ve found this channel recently and all of these kinds of videos have been a real help!! thank you!!!
Victoria's Secret put me in bras that were too small because I'm a petite. I was wearing a 34b for a long time, but it soon didn't fit anymore. The store tried putting me into an A cup when an A doesn't fit me. (I don't shop at VS anymore). It's like people don't assume petite women can be curvy. I'm more bottom heavy so maybe that's why VS did that to me.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, your videos are very helpful. Would be great if you showed some off these with someone with a big bust.
Thank you.
I am a large busted peate woman and your tips are right on .
Many are new to me and so appreciated.
Thank you,
ELizabeth
Wonderful! So glad you find them helpful Elizabeth!
I am 5’3” with implants - had I thought about this earlier, I wouldn’t have cursed myself by doing this.
Its hard to get shirts to fit right and I look fat on top now. Tailoring is now an extra expense.
“V” necks are my only friend. No crew necks unless your ballerina skinny with a visible clavicle.
Thanks for sharing!
*I'm sure you don't look fat on top, just full bosomed. You just have to find what makes you feel good.*
This really resonate with me, but I’m 5’9,5. I have a EU 70I, and a very short upper body. Thank you for your advice! I always enjoy your videos!
I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm five foot nothing with short legs and 32gg bust!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hello Chi your voice is so calming and many useful tips thank you.
Thank you, have been waiting for this topic exactly :)
You have done a woman job on this topic and I’m very grateful. I really enjoyed this video and I learned a thing or two. 💋
I love your videos about petite style! You come across as so authentic and personable! And you have the best tips. Thank you, Chi.
Thank you Ericka!
So much encouragement here in this video. Thanks for the bra fitting tips. You rock.
I like how you address each body type, thanks for the info! You are affirming some things I’ve known, but also giving new insight to other styles!
Thanks, Kathryn! Glad you like it!
Totally in accord with the bra purchase advice. Chain store bras are a no no! Underwires are always in the wrong place for a petite frame. I get fitted and pay a lot for PrimaDonna but worth it because you'll have a bra you can actually wear!!!
I love that brand as well!
Good morning! I’m a new subscriber and love your videos ❤️ Like most women, I have several areas I’d like to hide and or accentuate. Your videos have been helpful. I recently lost 40 Ibs and am learning to redress my body. What I like about your videos are it’s geared towards women beyond their 30’s. I’m not 30 anymore..😳 but I sure don’t want to look 60.😁 😂
*Congratulations on your weight loss, D!*
I loved this video. Helpful. I still have no clue where to shop though. There are petite shirts. There are plus size shirts. But if you are short AND heavy... nope. And like you said...fit is terribly important, but the single most IMPOSSIBLE thing to accomplish.
Can you please make more videos on this in terms of tops, dresses, jeans, bags, shoes, hair everything
I've read and watched a lot about petite fashion and you hit on points I never heard discussed before, and you are 100% right. Thanks for your insights!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for the video! You gave great tips, but I agree, the bra issue is the biggest one! Apart from the comfort (or discomfort when it's not the right one), it really changes your figure shape, and it can also alleviate neck and back aches for us with this problem.
I live in Italy and I found the brand Anita has really great bras. You definitely need an expert who helps with the fit, though.
Thank you for the your help to choose the right size bra. You’re a genius and I truly enjoy your great videos. Wish all the very best for 2023
Thank you so much for appreciating! ❤️
Your channel is a blessing
Awwww thank you so much!
I just discovered your channel. This is great!! I have been struggling with this my whole life! My friends cannot understand what I go through and feel jealous, but honestly it's not easy to buy bikinis, shirts or even dresses if you are petite with tiny back and big breast. Thank you for doing this! New subscriber :)
I'm happy to be able to give helpful tips to people ❤️ Thank you for appreciating my videos!
Thank you for helping me
You're welcome ✨💕
Wow this is amazingggg. I always wondered why some dress shirts looked great and others just made me look crazy. I am so grateful for you
So glad!
Hi Chi such a perfect video. Every point was bang on! Iam petite with shirt torso and big bust. And I always wondered why none of the petite tips work for me! High waisted pants look horrible on me, and my waist is small too. So I just look all boobs 😑 I'm also bottom heavy. So it's impossible to get the proportions right! Can you please make a video for a petite robust hourglass? I'd love if you do it! Thanks ❤️❤️
Sure Rasika!
I'd like this too. 4'11, 34E bust and big butt. Would love tips on how to dress a short rounded hourglass 😊
Oh... petite with 32G... Wold looove it!!!
@@angf9471 heh Ang Iam a 4 11, 32 DD and big butt too 41 inch
I swear it's frucking impossible to dress down assets lol
These are great tips! I do a lot of these and I just learned more!
I am 5.2 , short waist , long torso ,short legs , bra size DDD large bust you helped a lot with your advices.
thank you so much! ❤️
Please do more videos for petite women with large busts!!! Absolutely love your videos!!!
Excellent advice. Any suggestions for hourglass petite with larger bust, small waist & larger upper arms? Thank you 😊. Cheers 😉 🌷
I love, love, LOVE that you did this video!
Thanks! I’ve subscribed! As a short busty hourglass hijabi, I struggle A LOT to find anything decent to wear. Your tips were spot on!
Welcome! Thanks for subbing!
This again is me lol,,,I tend to look for stretch with button up shirts or loose, drape with elastic waist & sleeve. Great tips as usual, thanks❣
So glad you find them helpful Eliza!
Thank you, Chi, now I know why I don’t like wearing belts! Maybe I’ll keep a couple of skinny ones 😉
Thank you, thank you, thank you! FINALLY a video with the best advice for my body type! Much love and appreciation to you.❤👏
So glad you like it Karen!
Man, you are good! Hitting all the points!
Very helpful! I always learn from these videos!!
Another bra brand is Bali. Great support. A push-up may seem crazy, but I have found it helpful to get the necessary lift. Saggy bust equals old lady frump.
And I love wide belts but grrrrr... they don’t usually work. I use one to 1.5 inches. The skinny ones often seem out of proportion for me. I’m 5’3, d cup.
PS I sometimes take in the side seams of shirts so they are relaxed in the button area but fitted in the midsection (hourglass).
Great to hear and thanks for sharing!
*I'm 5'1 with an hourglass figure and 36DD breasts, I like my minimizing bras and wrap maxi dresses but i was always unsure about what type of belts to wear. I have a smaller waist and prefer to emphasize it but still be comfortable too.*
Thanks for sharing!!
You are awesome. So glad I found your channel _i have been binging on your videos I am your height and all you say makes so much sense.Thank you
First....I am sorry to know that you lost your Dad. I can only imagine how you must feel, as I am also very close to my Dad and would be devastated. On the heels of the deleted Instagram and scam website discoveries, this is a hard blow, however; you found the inner wherewithall to keep going. May you have some peace and comfort, for your Dad is still cheering you on, just from high above. He is always near. Death is only a horizon.....love is eternal and will always bridge it.
Thank you so much for another informative session! I am 4'11", but a 36DD. I have struggled with sweaters and casual wear. I always learn something new from you. I am about to go ditch those baggy sweaters because you are right...now matter how thin or thick I am, I always end up looking like a rectangle with feet.
Do you have any videos regarding selecting sunglasses for petite faces? I always struggle with this, too. Right now it's an even bigger challenge because I'm a little fluffier in the face at the moment. I will take any advice you can offer.
You are a fantastic lady. May peace and the best of blessings be yours.
Thank you so much.
Those tunics with the long gathered sleeves that were popular reminded me of a choir member.
Such fabulous advice! I love your content!😘
Thank you Julia- glad you find them helpful!
I so need more tips, thanks for this. V limited videos on this tooic
Thank you so much. This has been the best video for me....
Great tips. My chest-waist-hip proportions would look great if I were 3" taller, but I'm not! It can be hard to find things that are flattering. Some of these tips I'd already figured out -- v-necks all the way! But some were new. Thanks.
Oh... If i knew about paperbag pants... Btw , You are awesome!!!!
Great video! So many helpful suggestions.
Really great tips, thank you! Especially the one about dress shirts with buttons. I have a really hard time finding a good one
I do think there are some exceptions I have noticed though and maybe you can talk about these. For instance, I sometimes wear paper bag pants but I have longer torso and short legs and I try to wear the pants with monochromatic colors. Then it looks okay.
Also, I was wondering if wearing black is also a good option/tip for petite with large bust. Sometimes I can wear turtle neck but only if it's black. And then my bust looks less prominent.
Also do you have tips about vertical lines or prints? And types of materials? I feel bulky with some materials. Please more videos about petite women with large bust and not flat tummy. Thank you!
Yes, if you have long torso and short legs (I have the same) - paper bag pants do work much better than girls with shorter torso.
This is extremely relatable because I never understood why paperbag pants didn't suit me ever.
The best bra is unlined and half corset type of shape. I've found it works best. Heavy padding or padded, or thin straps, do not hold well and feels like it will pop up
but I love streetwear and oversized clothing, I can't stay away from that :). jeans and an oversized sweatshirt and long dresses are all I want to wear :D tricky
Thank you for sharing 😊
You are so helpful !!
Thank you so much
Thank you.
So helpful! Thank you for these wise tips.
You're always welcome!
“I don’t personally have that problem...”
Show-off! 😂
I really like all your video's. ..I'm still learning new thing's to help me look my best. Thank you so much 💖
Glad you like them Tammy!
Just found your video! I am 5”2 and have a very large boobs 38DD. I don’t have a slim waist either so finding anything to wear is very difficult without looking larger and frumpy 😩. Since pandemic I just gave up on trying to dress up.
Firstly, You- ADORABLE! Haha 😊 And secondly, thank you for this video, it was very helpful!!☀️✌️💙
You're welcome! ❣️
I haven't noticed you mentioning that many large bust brands don't offer smaller band sizes. As a petite woman, this is frustrating. You mentioned Third Love - they don't carry 28 and 30 bands in larger cup sizes.
That's a good point. Thanks for pointing it out.
@@PetiteDressing Thank you for your reply! I've just started watching your videos!
Very good advice as always. Well done
I needed this video because I'm petite framed with F cups and my head, shoulders, knees and toes hurt!
Some people are saying they have a big bust at DD/DDD.
Can I have a shout of to my ladies who are G+ in UK/Aus and J+ in the US?
It's a whole other challenge! I'm in Melbourne and only David Jones has 32HH in stock, and Brava will order it in for me / post to me. That's for Elomi brand.
Freya and Curvy Kate are great too.
I'm sure it's hard selling bras, having to stock so many sizes for each design. I hate ordering online, even if they have free exchange. It's so much easier to drive to a stir and spend 2 hours trying everything on.
I love all your videos, thanks I am learning a lot
Thank you for your tips on dressing
Thank you, this video is so helpful. I loved both jumpsuits, the light one which is more casual also the red one, are those from your store? I'm looking forward to buy them
Youre very welcome! You may check us out at www.petitedressing.com ❤️
Wow! So helpful! What about graphic t-shirts? Sometimes, when part of a group or team they buy these team shirts. Or your company has a polo shirt to wear on “team” days. How can you make this work?
take in the sides of the polo so it has more of a flare shape at the hips. it will look much more flattering.
This helped so much! Thanks :)
This video was sooooo helpful! Thank you!❤
You're welcome! ❤️
Thankyou so much! This was so incredibly helpful!!
I'm so glad!
Love your smart advice
Can you do corsets with mesh sheer lantern sleeve I'm 4 foot 8 need help your videos have helped me understand more about style Thank You
Hello, Viki! I'm glad my videos helped you! No worries, I'll keep that in mind and post about that soon! ❤️
Ugh!😫This video was specifically designed for me. Unfortunately, I don’t have a bra specialist in my area so...
I still find the tips helpful. Recently, I bought a pair of paperbag pants & returned them because like you said-I just saw breasts!😂 Anyways, thank you for these videos.
Glad you find it helpful Renee!
Thank you and Jesus for this topic!!
You're very welcome! ❤️
