11 tips making small bust look fuller
All that big-breast mania we have now is a complete nonsense! No matter what your bra size is, your bust can look nice if you know how to “wear” it.
And many men like girls with chest much smaller than Pamela Anderson’s! Besides, the majority of designers create their garments for ladies with smaller busts.
If, for some reason, you don’t feel right about your bust size you may go under knife or take some pills but there is another way – you may boost your boobs visually!
All you need to do is choose clothes correctly to create the illusion of a big bust. Here you will find some tips on how to find clothes that flatter you the most.
1. Choose the correct bra. First of all make sure you wear the correct bra size.
Too many women wear the wrong bra size. Signs that you’re making the same mistake are the following:
- constantly falling down straps;
- straps that dig into the back;
- underwire that fits above the bottom of the breast;
- cups that flatten out the bust, especially in uncomfortable or painful ways;
- or pink marks, welts, or cuts in the skin after use.
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time to buy a new bra.
You may want to get your bust professionally measured. It’s possible to do that in a good department store or a lingerie shop. Remember that, with the proper size, the breast should be between the shoulder and the elbow if your arm is straight down.
The right bra will not only feel better, it will make all of your clothes fit better, too.
2. Prefer bras with push-up effect. The best choice is a balconette as it flatters the small breast.
But ensure that the bra is only slightly padded, otherwise the padding will look too obvious and artificial. Never buy bra that makes you appear more than one cup size bigger. You’ll look ridiculous.
3. Wear patterns. Women with small busts usually have triangular-shaped bodies with the lower half of their figures heavier than the upper half.
To balance out the body, you can wear patterned blouses and solid colored pants and skirts. But avoid wearing a huge pattern for your top, because it will consume your torso. Instead, select a moderate-sized pattern – nothing too small, either, for that can actually minimize the appearance of your bust even more.
4. Prefer ruffles, pleats or breast pockets.
Subtle ruffles add volume to a small bust, but avoid giant ruffles, they will overwhelm your frame. What you need is little ruffles used as trim for the neckline or that fall directly under the bust or that run vertically down the center of the blouse.
But remember that ruffles on the pants are not for your figure type – they will bring the eye down to your lower half and away from your bust.
5. Wear tops of brighter or lighter colors.
Choose brighter tops and darker bottoms, even if they’re both in the same hue. In case you want a black and white combination, be sure that your top is white and your bottom is black.
This illusion will make your body appear more proportionate, so your bust will seem fuller.
6. Choose for details at the bust. Anything centered on the bust will make it seem larger. Peasant tops look well on small busted girls.
Textured or reflective fabrics right on the bust also create an optical illusion. Buttons, embroidery, and other attention-getters are great ways to increase the appearance of a bust.
7. Try horizontal stripes. A shirt or top with multicolored horizontal stripes worn with dark bottom will make your hips look smaller and breasts look fuller.
8. Beware of clothes that are too loose – it will make your breasts “disappear”, but don’t put on anything that’s too tight either, because it will flatten you.
Find a compromise – choose something that will show off the shapes you have.
9. Choose accessories carefully. You may wear thin chains with small pendants and delicate designs, they will make your breasts look bigger by contrast.
10. Try dresses and tops that are already made with inner cups to get a rounder look.
11. Necklines are highly important. High, asymmetrical, crew and gathered necklines will flatter your bust and make it look a bit bigger. Stay away from deep v-necks or very low scoop-necks, although vees are better than scoops. You can wear bandeau neck, jewel necklines, boat neckline, cowl neckline or other adornments at top.
Don’t feel upset about your small breast, doesn’t it look nice when you wear the right clothes? Yes, it certainly does! So, keep that tendency on and enjoy the life!

i think this post is very helpful for many girls that suffer the problem of small bust. the tips are easy to use but teh effect is good, really. you seem to have a normal bust…
thank you for this article it was very helpful
this article was a useful one especially for girls like me
Hey! I have small bust but I’m happy with it.
Don’t think about your hang-up!
For an article that has tips for women with small busts, I think it is fairly silly to be using Victoria’s Secret models to visually demonstrate the ideas you are giving.
Other than that the post has some good ideas. :)
Fergalicious: a small bust is not a “problem.” they are just boobs and function the same no matter what their size.
This post is okay but I agree with Tina, the models do not have small busts. Try using better visual images that support what you are saying.
I agree 100 percent completely! Having small breasts is not a problem rather it’s a blessing! Wear it proudly! There are bras that fits our needs.
Hate the models! Except for the girl in the swim suit, she is my idol. This post is very good but I did not quite understand the neckline part. I have no idea what the suggested necklines look like…
“Remember that, with the proper size, the breast should be between the shoulder and the elbow if your arm is straight down.”
I have a question on the quote above.
My breasts tend to be on the sides with my bra. What does that signify? A large cup, or a large band? Both seem to fit well.
Anyone with an idea?
the girls in the images seem to have their breasts closer together than I do and an enviable cleavage. I guarantee that my breasts are larger but I lack that cleavage :(
maybe, an article on how to get cleavage? :)
Being a small busted women, it is hard to identify with models who are not small chested. I think that the article was helpful, but some of the images are not appropriate for the point trying to be made.
All the models have lage breast… How are we supposed to tell if these tips work by these pictures?
hello
annie (or anyone who knows),
who is the girl in the swimsuit?
This articles was very helpful and i have to agree with others that the models certainly didn’t assist the article, in fact, the models actually propel “small busted” girls such as myself to feel a bit inferior since as it is known ALL the clothing designers design clothes in mind for the large breasted and not necessarily the small chested and petite…..some designers should really get thei heads out a bubble and RECOGNIZE that NOT all girls and women have HUGE breasts NOR are they all 6ft tall either!
So refreshing to hear positive comments about small boobs. We live in a world obsessed with big boobs and it can be difficult to not feel down about not owning a large pair. We are all sexy and attractive!!
WHY THE HELL ARE ALL THE MODELS SKINNY WITH HUGE BOOBS? seriously!! as if I didn’t feel bad enough about my a-cups!!! as helpful as this is the fact that none of these chicks have small boobs OR a realistic figure is just making me depressed!
