When
we conducted our research over a four-year time period,
one of the questions we asked related to drawing
attention to your body. It is obvious that
unusually large
breast size is difficult to hide and these
women do not have to make any attempt to draw attention
to them particularly if they take good care of their
bodies and dress in
style. The challenge is for
the small-chested woman to draw attention to herself. While many women that we spoke to would often hide
their front out of embarrassment or just did not want
others to notice that part, the women
that were successful in their lives actually flaunted
theirs. This strategy combined with
an image of a self-confident woman attracted the right
kind of men to them - those that did not think size defines a woman or ones that actually liked such women.
We
conducted some research of our own to assess the type of
clothes available to these women. While
it is true that most clothes fit them better and it is
easy to find clothes to wear, what we found was that the
clothes were generally designed to hide whatever little
they had to show. The biggest disappointment,
however, came from the bra manufacturers who ignored these
women in the meanest manner
possible. Either they did not carry any sizes for
them or the choices were very limited. (Related:
Do men
like small breasts)
Successful
women have responded creatively to both these
challenges. With regards to bras, they have either
given up on wearing one altogether (Proud
of small breasts) or make adjustments
at home to whatever they can find. With blouses
and tops, women have increasingly taken control of the
situation by coming up with innovative solutions.
We came across several of these designs during our
research and we are highlighting some of these here:
-
Wear
a bright colored top or use a bra as a top
-
Get
hold of a silk scarf and simply tie it around
your chest. It matches well with jeans
or a mini-skirt
-
Prominent
and bold neckwear that draws attention to the
torso region (notice the necklace)
-
Wear
strapless dresses to expose the shoulders, like
Jamie-Lynn Sigler does
-
Elaborately
embroidered tops that are worn with style over
one shoulder without a bra inviting instant
attention
-
Wear a gown like Felicity Huffman
