Who knew I’d become so engrossed in sewing one of my shirts that I wouldn’t want to do anything else? Today is all about attaching the yoke, so for your reading pleasure I’m directing you to Wardrobe Oxygen where Allie has published a post about draped tops for large busts. Interestingly, she chooses tops in which the draping occurs below the bustline to help balance things out–something I’ve never considered but will now experiment with.

The Vince Camuto is my favorite from her post, and I like it even more on her on Instagram where you can see the balancing in action. The petite version is 40% off at Nordstrom’s (but click through her link if you purchase so she gets the credit), and the regular version is 20% off at Macy’s until May 26 (they tell you about the sale after you put it in your basket–they also have it in Sailor Blue in L and XL). It even has a built-in cami!

I’d love to hear about your own experiences with, and tips for wearing, drape front tops.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, have any of you had success with crop tops? A few commenters on the Big Boob Problems subreddit like wearing them, and I’m keeping my eyes open for tops that might work on DD+ bosoms, or ways to otherwise adapt the trend.
