I'll give these tips a whirl tomorrow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-proportion-help#post-311411 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 05:10:24 +0000 Dashrashi 311411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think blazers, jackets, and suits say "power" regardless of what you've got on the bottom. It also makes the underlayer (blouse/shirt) less salient than it would be otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-proportion-help#post-311325 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 03:20:51 +0000 magnolia 311325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually wear tops that are tailored but not tucked it -- it lengthens your upper torso and minimizes the contrast between your bust and your waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-proportion-help#post-311317 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 03:12:31 +0000 afterism 311317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not Angie but I am another big busted girl.</p> <p>Don't be afraid of skirts &amp; dresses. A good dress can exude power just as well as pants.</p> <p>What sort of work do you do? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-proportion-help#post-311297 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 02:52:23 +0000 Jill 311297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,</p> <p>I have a 25 inch waist, no hips to speak of, but wear a 32DD bra. I work in a corporate environment and have a tough time balancing my proportions. I especially feel ridiculous in button downs which seem to be a staple for most, I end up feeling either frumpy (if it's loose) or a little bit rude (if it fits). I end up wearing a sports bra most days to minimize my situation, but I know the this probably doesn't look good either. Because my workplace is 85% male, my need to establish a work wardrobe that exudes power is important and I often feel that since I have so much 'femininity' going on up top, I should keep the skirts to a minimum. What do you think?</p> <p>Any advice will help, thanks so much! </p>
