It sounds like you know your body type well Nicole. Belted items and double breasted styles are tricky on bustier ladies and great caution should be taken when purchasing these items.

I think the problem with the grey sweater is the bulky shoulder and chunky knit--it makes the model look like a line backer. I don't like the belt on the geometric sweater set--theres too much going on already...and the last sweater is ok, but not very memorable. Being busty, I don't like to wear anything belted, besides my pants. But two of my favorite pieces of clothing have belts, and I do tie them in the back and personally, I think it looks great. It gives it a casual laid back kind of look. I do not think that tailored or dressy items (like double breasted jackets, which do not work on curvy women) can allow for a loosely tied in the back belt.

I like that you have shared your opinion with us. It's interesting how our eyes perceive proportion differently from time to time. Fashion stylists will differ about what is most flattering for different body types even amongst themselves. I know that I certainly disagree with some of the body type and style jargon out there. I have the perception that the pink cardigan would actually look best without a belt. The belt does not enhance the style at all because it makes the model look long and wide-waisted. Horses for courses! Feel free to disagree Fran. I like that you have shared your opinion with us. It’s interesting how our eyes perceive proportion differently from time to time.

I am going to diagree with the expert, Angie. (That's kind of dumb, isn't it?) I think the pink sweater looks the best of them all, with the belt low. If the belt is at the natural waist, often it makes the model look short-waisted, and you get a longer sillouette with the belt tied lower. I have a waist, but I still like the belts lower than my natural waist. Ok, I can’t believe it. I am going to diagree with the expert, Angie. (That’s kind of dumb, isn’t it?)

I love wearing mine with just one button buttoned near my bust. It creates a nice shape on me, and looks great with jeans over a t-shirt. As for the ties--it was the style for a while to tie them together in the back and let it hang, but I don't know what to do with them now. I def don't want to tie it in the front--it's not the look I'm going for. Should I just leave the tie off completely? It's not double breasted, and the ties actually make it taper in more at my waist, giving a nice shape to it...hrm...now I don't know how to wear it! Any suggestions? What about the long cardigans?
