5 clothing mistakes women with big boobs make
Do you have DD+ boobs and struggle to find clothes that fit?
Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend has shared her top tips on clothes to avoid if you have a big bust.
1. Say no to the polo
High necklines such a roll necks are to be avoided if you have a fuller bust. Closed chests and necks make your boobs appear bigger and can sometimes give you the dreaded uni-boob.
Try wearing V-necks, sweetheart, off the shoulder or scooped necklines that elongate the look of your neck and decolletage.
2. Bigger isn't better
Frills, draping and excess fabric to cover your boobs only makes them look bigger. They make you look too top heavy and add unnecessary bulk on your top half which distracts from your face.
Instead keep things clean and simple with sleek fabrics and designs with open necklines.
3. Skip slogan tees
Slogan or printed T-shirts are having a moment with fashion fans falling over themselves to get Ganni Tees, or their high street dupes.
The key is to make sure you're not buying a top with thick, heavy paint plastered on as the print. These will stretch over your fuller chests and split, resulting in a messy look and a ruined T-shirt that's now a waste of money.
4. Avoid crop tops
Tops that are shorter in length or crop tops should be swerved if you had a big chest. You'll find you spend most of your time pulling it down and also it messes with the proportions of your body.
If you have a big bust and a crop top on, they cut you off in the middle, which makes your bust look even bigger and in worse cases give the illusion that your chest meets your waist.
A longer top (including anything from a T-shirt to a jumper) will create the right proportions.
5. Body-wrong
Straight or tight fitted dresses are brilliant at showing off your figure. However if you have a big bust that isn't in proportion with the rest of your shape they're a no-go.
If you have a fuller bust you can create balance and a defined hourglass silhouette by wearing A-line dresses or skirts.
In the Maya's video, she can be seen in a zip-up top before her surgery.
In the second clip, she can be seen in the same top.
Since posting, the clip has been seen 2.3m times.
It has also gained 316,000 likes and 2,000 comments - although opinions have been mixed.
One person said: 'Nooooooooo.'
Another user added: 'NO.'
Someone else said: 'An angel lost its wings.'
Mariou added: 'Before and before.'
Innias said: 'WHY.'
But some fans supported her decision.
One user said: 'An angel lost her back pain.'
Nevaeh added: 'You must feel so good because you look incredible girl.'
Anika said: 'im so happy for u im crying.' [sic]
Someone else added: 'All the men saying no as if she did it for them.'
Another fan said: 'Beautiful to beautiful.'

Sex cult brainwashed me into being a ‘bride' for a rapist… I thought he was God & was sucked in with love-bomb tactics
LIZ Cameron, 32, is a health sector project manager and author. she lives in Canberra, Australia. 'As I walked out of the bookshop, a smiling woman approached. 4 Liz Cameron is sharing her story to help others leave cults 4 Liz taking part in a 'heavenly bride' fashion show organised by the church She was a foreign student studying Australian culture, she explained, and asked if I'd mind completing a survey. It was January 2011 and I was a shy, insecure 18 year old just starting my gap year. I had no idea she was from a cult – and that I'd get sucked in. I took the pen from the girl, who said her name was Yujun. read more on real life The questions were easy, from what I liked about Australia to my religion, so I gave my answers then said goodbye, thinking no more of it. A week later, Yujun emailed more questions about my faith, as I'd said I was Christian. She told me my answers showed I was 'beautiful', which made me feel good. The next week, I went to her home for tea with her and her housemates. Most read in Fabulous That was the start of the Seeing how happy they were made me want to feel that way, too, so within a few months, I was getting up at 5am to pray, followed by a 6am service at their house and hours of Bible reading. Inside a 'mind-controlling' CULT which 'forced mum and daughter to hit each other' and chose Fiji as the 'promised land' My mum started to worry, but I reassured her I was fine. As the brainwashing took hold, the girls told me they belonged to Sarang Church and that its founder, Pastor Joshua, had been falsely imprisoned in South Korea because of his faith. Searching for information on him or the church was forbidden, though. I accepted this without question, even taking part in a 'heavenly bride' fashion show organised by the church. In September 2011, they revealed Pastor Joshua – also called Jung Myung-seok or SSN – was the Messiah. I was ecstatic when SSN wrote to me from prison to say he loved me, and I dreamed of being chosen to be a 'Faith Star' – one of his brides on Earth. I moved out of my parents' house that November to live with the group. I no longer saw any of my old friends, as the church had become my life. When my mum tried to show me research on the church in January 2012, I ran away, terrified – I'd been taught that even looking at it would be 'spiritual suicide'. 4 Liz visited South Korea to meet SSN in prison 4 Liz on the Providence Church trip to South Korea Another time, when my dad came to the house to see me, my housemate hid me in the back of a car and drove away, because nothing was more important than being spiritually pure. A few weeks later, a group of us flew to South Korea to meet SSN and, waiting in the prison, I was so nervous. Suddenly, there he was. He said how happy he was to see us, while I said in stilted Korean: 'I love you.' Deep down, I didn't actually feel any love during our meeting, but I blamed myself and prayed harder. Back home, I received letters from SSN, which had become sexual. I told myself he was the Messiah and everything he did was holy. One wrong thought could taint me, and to be saved I had to sleep less, pray more, eat little and exercise. Losing a dangerous amount of weight caused my organs to atrophy and, in January 2012, I ended up in hospital with an eating disorder. 'DEEPLY DECIEVED' Mum saved me by convincing the clinic to discharge me to her instead of the church, then by bringing me to a cult de-programmer. After two days of them talking to me about the tactics cults use, it hit me – Jung Myung-seok was in prison for raping and sexually assaulting three women, and I'd spent 18 months in his cult. Months of grief followed as I realised how deeply I'd been deceived. I began slowly rebuilding my life, meeting other cult survivors, making new friends and forging a career for myself. In 2023, Jung Myung-seok was convicted of further sexual assaults, including rape, and sentenced to an extra 23 years in prison. Leaving a cult isn't easy, but sharing my story helps. I want others to know there's a way out.' Cult Bride by Liz Cameron (Pantera Press) is out now. BTW There are as many as 2,000 suspected cults operating in the UK today. 71.3% of female US cult survivors suffer from PTSD.*
