It's tiring, isn't it? Constantly comparing your body to others'? How many times have you wished you were taller, shorter, thinner, curvier? Women are on a constant quest to change themselves. Breast size in particular is a sensitive subject for many of us. We either curse that we were born with too much or not enough. But consider this: Many of us don't realise that the clothes we wear can make a difference to the way we feel about our bodies. It's time we embraced and appreciated our bodies the way they are. Here's how to flatter your figure, not fight it!

T-Shirts
Isn't it amazing how hard it is to find a well fitting T-shirt? Such a basic item should be easy to track down. But with so many necklines, sleeve lengths and styles out there, this can be a tough task to accomplish. Needless to say, your first step is finding a great fitting bra. Here's what else you need to know:

Full Bust

Best necklines are scoop necks and V-necks. They break up the expanse of the chest area and draw attention away from your bust. Stick with solid colors.

Best sleeve lengths are cap sleeve, long sleeve and three-quarter sleeve. They camouflage larger arms that sometimes accompany larger chests.

Avoid high, round neck and square neck T-shirts. They make full busts look like one bulky mass. Also avoid sleeveless and oversized T-shirts.

Small Bust

Best necklines are high necks and asymmetrical necklines. They broaden the shoulders and create the illusion of a larger bust. Printed tees are also flattering for small chests.

Best sleeve lengths are sleeveless. Women with small chests tend to have slimmer arms so the goal is to draw attention to them and away from the chest.

Avoid low scoop-neck tops or deep V-neck tops with three-quarter sleeves. They accentuate bony chests and draw attention to the fact that you have a small bust. The V acts as an arrow to the bust and the sleeves accentuate small arms.

Blouses & Shirts
A blouse is a blouse, right? Wrong. There are many more cuts and styles out there than you may realise, and you just might be wearing the wrong one for your bust size. Even the size of your collar can make a difference. Here's the lowdown:

Full Bust

Look for tops that are fitted, with deep, vertical V-necks. Wear styles that have small, vertical lapels and collars, with a bare minimum of detail. Styles with bust darts often fit better.

Avoid pockets at all costs and stay away from styles with horizontal detailing, big lapels or collars and large prints.

Small Bust

Look for fitted tops with narrow V-necks. Create fullness with breast pockets, ruffles, smocking and gathering. Try wide lapels and collars.

Avoid voluminous or structured tops that you don't completely fill out.
