    Time Out New York / Issue 651 : Mar 19–25, 2008
    Spring fashion '08

    Busted!

    Your huge rack certainly has its, ahem, perks. But squeezing into a dress is not always easy. Here, four real women model dresses your D cups will actually fit into.

    By Quinn Asteak, Photographs by Ben Goldstein

    Tip 1: Your chest isn’t your only asset—play up those legs with a high hemline and sexy shoes.

    Hair: Melanie Harris for Oliver Piro; Makeup: Sylvester Castellano for MAC Cosmetics for Bernstein and Andruilli; Styling: Quinn Asteak

    Twelve by Twelve dress, $42, at Forever 21. Hue tights, $11, at Bloomingdale’s. Steve Madden Treason shoes, $90, at select Steve Madden stores.

      I completely agree with these comments. These dresses are hideous and do nothing to flatter the models! I was excited to find this article at first, because I'm always looking for something to wear that doesn't make me look either fat or like a floozy. I'm also just 5'1, wear size four jeans, but my girls are a 32F (yes, they are real). Your four dresses are a good example of what NOT to wear! Please try a little harder next time.

      All of these dresses look cheap and only the black dress is actually flattering to the model. I was stunned to see the price tag on the second one considering how lousy it looks. Tough as it is to find a dress that fits my large chest and 5'1" height, things aren't as desperate as this. Tadashi makes some dresses that fit a large chest and are elegant.

      At first, I thought this was a maternity dress. Empire waist dresses are awful on large-chested women, generally. Often, the dress doesn't hang properly below the chest, making us look like we have no waist. This dress is too tight across the model's chest and it looks like it is riding up.

      As another reader of ample bustage, I totally agree with the first poster's comments. The first two dresses are completely unflattering, they just make the models look overweight and top heavy. Dress three, not good for someone who is trying to keep the girls under control. Dress four is cute, but decieving (I know the model personally - hi Jenny!) I wouldn't consider her as having a huge chest, definitely not a D. Buttons in front are a no-no! What about surplice tops and fitted bodices?

      As a FF gal (now an H while nursing!!!), I have to disagree with all your choices. The first two give the model that "uniboob" look (one boob straight across) that us big gals usually try very hard to avoid. As for number three, it seems like her bra just doesn't fit (if it did, it would not be hidden so easily). The fourth gal's dress doesn't seem to fit her at all on top -- I wonder what would happen if she stood up? Next time, how about some REAL solutions?

      I agree with JCee's comments. None of these outfits work for me.
