Dress to make your breasts look smaller

Wear a well-fitting bra. Wearing a bra that fits well is one of the easiest ways to make the overall bust more visible. The cup should cover most of the bust, and the straps of the shirt should form a straight line at the back. The strap should not be the main support part, but the horizontal strap should be responsible for it. Go to the consultants at the lingerie store to have a detailed measurement.

Visit lingerie stores that sell shirts in a variety of sizes, especially if they have larger sizes than DD. This is very important when looking for a bra that fits your body. Many stores will try to sell you what they have, and most of them only have bras in popular sizes, which cannot fit every body shape. ^{[1] X Research Source}
Don’t stress too much about how tight your bra will fit. You’ll probably find yourself wearing a size 32E, not a 34DD. That is normal. A well-fitting bra is still more important than numbers. A well-fitting bra will make you look better, which will make you feel more confident, too.
A properly supported bust will help improve your appearance as it makes your upper body appear longer.
It’s a good idea to re-measure your body from time to time to make sure you’re always wearing the right clothes.

You can replace it with a bra. Bras will make your breasts smaller by redistributing breast tissue. Most importantly, they don’t make your breasts flat. ^{[2] X Research Source}

Bras also help clothes fit better while you still feel comfortable. Buttons will no longer show, and your breasts will look more defined when you wear a turtleneck.

Wear dark clothes. Clothes that are dark and plain will make your body look slimmer and your breasts will also appear smaller.

A well-fitted blazer will also give the perfect finished look. A black dress for the evening will also help you slimmer, easy to match accessories and trendy.
Wear a dark top with a light skirt or pants and eye-catching shoes.

Wear appropriate clothing. Stylized shirts and sweaters can make your breasts look smaller. Whatever style you choose, avoid cropped styles, colors or patterns that accentuate the bust.

Choose a shirt with a V-neck. Make sure the collar only goes down to the cleavage. Alternatively, try a U-neck, boat neck, or heart-neck. The key here is that the neckline is not cut too deep, otherwise it will draw attention to your chest. ^{[3] X Research Sources}
Do not wear shirts with too many ruffles. ^{[4] X Research Sources}
Don’t completely ignore horizontal stripes or loose tops. Try on tops that are loose and loose from the bust down without being puffy. A slightly loose plaid shirt will also make your bust less noticeable. Avoid wearing short shirts so you don’t look sloppy. ^{[5] X Research Sources}
Avoid shirts with deep necklines. They frame and make your breasts look bigger, so it’s hard for others to take their eyes off them.

Choose the right fabric. Some fabrics will draw attention to your breasts. Silk, velvet and corduroy will accentuate the bust. Avoid sequins and camisole tops. Instead, you should choose cotton, fleece, and cotton fabrics. ^{[6] X Research Source}

When wearing a T-shirt, choose a soft fabric such as thick cotton or ruffled fabric so that the chest is not tight. You’ll look stylish in a round-neck t-shirt and tucked in a mini skirt or boyfriend jeans. ^{[7] X Research Sources}

Wear a jacket and cardigan. Cardigan will keep others from focusing on your chest. Stripes also make your curves less prominent. Layers can also hide curves that you want to hide. ^{[8] X Research Source} To open a blazer or jacket. Don’t try to find shirt sizes that are wide enough to be buttoned or zipped. You just need a shirt that fits your arms, back, and shoulders, and the buttons or zippers can be left open. ^{[9] X Research Source}

The style of wearing layers is very suitable for people with large breasts. Layers of sweaters or jackets will help hide the contours of the body, reducing the focus on the bust. If your shirt has a deep neckline, try adding a halter top underneath. You will look very fashionable, while covering the cleavage.
Look for a jacket that’s made from a thick, stiff fabric that doesn’t draw attention to the bust. Leather jackets can be a good choice thanks to the layers that wrap around the bust and the mid length.
If the lapel of a blazer doesn’t sit neatly on your chest, choose a lapelless shirt.
When shopping for a jacket, choose a style that has only one button row. ^{[10] X Research Source}

Avoid wearing long necklaces. They will draw attention downwards and focus on your chest. Instead, wear a choker or nothing at all. Another very interesting style is the big bangles. Bracelets with lots of detail or lots of beads/stones are beautiful. ^{[11] X Research Source}

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/19/Make-Large-Breasts-Look-Smaller-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Large-Breasts-Look-Smaller-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/19/Make-Large-Breasts-Look- Smaller-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Large-Breasts-Look-Smaller-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Do not wear tight shirts. Tight and open buttons will bring immediate attention to your breasts. Patterned fabrics or t-shirts that stretch at the bust will often distort the printed images on the shirt. Wear clothes that fit, not tight.

Avoid baggy shirts. Shirts that are too large are not flattering. Choose clothes that fit your body shape.

Wear a towel. Wearing a scarf around your neck is not only nice and warm, but it also helps to reduce the size of your breasts. Pair it with a jacket or cardigan or knit top.

Losing weight. Breasts are made up of fatty tissue. Following an overall weight loss plan will help reduce the fat tissue in the body, helping the breasts become smaller. Many women notice their first reduction in body fat. ^{[12] X Research Source}

Cardiovascular exercise. Exercises such as walking, cycling or exercising on the treadmill all support metabolism and burn fat very well. Jumping, swimming and kickboxing are also good ideas. If you feel comfortable, you can go for a jog or jog. Do things that make your heart beat faster and keep you active.
Try to exercise for at least 45 minutes, 5 to 6 times a week. ^{[13] X Research Source}
Make sure to wear a well-fitting bra when doing cardio to protect your breasts.
If you’re exercising and dieting regularly, but your breasts aren’t getting smaller, you probably have dense tissue instead of fatty tissue. Dense tissue cannot be burned through diet and exercise. ^{[14] X Research Source}

Eat healthy and reduce calories. To support weight loss and fat burning, eat healthy. Foods that are good for fat burning are whole grains, lean meats, fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of water. ^{[15] X Research Source}

Don’t go on a strict diet. Reducing your calorie intake too much can slow down your metabolism, adversely affecting your efforts. Consume at least 1200 calories a day, and remember to refuel after exercise.

Do strength training exercises. Adding muscle exercises will help strengthen the chest muscles. These exercises won’t burn chest fat right away, but when combined with cardio and a healthy diet, they will help you improve your chest.

Try the following exercises: push-ups, dumbbells, barbell pushups, inner chest presses, chest presses, and shoulder exercises.
Strengthening your chest, back, and shoulder muscles can help if you have upper back pain, neck pain, shoulder strain, or poor posture due to large breasts. ^{[16] X Research Source}
These exercises should be done 2 to 3 times a week. Start from 8 to 10 turns and increase gradually. To tone your chest, you should use light weights and do more reps. If you use heavy weights and push a few turns, your muscles will get bigger. ^{[17] X Research Source}

Chest binding. Chest compressions are useful if you want to prevent your breasts from moving when you move, or when you want to dress like a man, or if you simply want to flatten out your breasts. Bras will safely flatten your breasts and can be purchased at online stores or other retailers.

Do not use elastic bandages or duct tape to bind the breasts. They can cause harm, such as broken ribs and fluid accumulation in the body. ^{[18] X Research Sources}
Always wear a tight-fitting bra. Don’t buy too small to try to make your breasts smaller, which can also cause serious harm.

Perform breast reduction surgery. This type of surgery removes fat, tissue, and skin to reduce the size of the breasts to a level that the client feels beautiful or comfortable. ^{[19] X Research Sources} Breast reduction surgery can be very expensive and a bold decision for some people. If you want breast reduction surgery, schedule a meeting with a plastic surgeon.
