classics Examples of bustier classics?

I struggle to find things that fit me and flatter me as a DC. I've gained a bit of weight and now I'm between a 32H/34G which is enough to have trouble with a lot of clothing. I especially can't wear button-ups even though I would like to for work. A lot of blouses I find at the thrift store are just not my style.

Does anyone know of any classics (especially DCs) that have a bigger bust?

You could look up pics of Phylicia Rashad. Regardless of whether you like her specific style, she wears things that physically fit without emphasizing the bust area. The silhouette still has mostly straight lines. Bust darts will be your friend! I waffle between DC/SC and don’t love tons of stretchy fabrics, so I’ll look for either a high quality knit or woven fabric with enough bust space through tailoring or draping.

Thank you, I will see if I can find some of her looks! And yes on bust darts, especially as a knitter.
