Plus Size Tops in Extended Plus Sizes
I tend to like my plus size tops or blouses to have a bit of room to move. The baggy blouses or tops are best for me for almost every occasion. This means I often find myself looking for extended plus sizes, depending on the fashion designer of course.
Finding extended plus size tops is super easy these days. Every fashion designer seems to have their own idea of what is stylish and comfortable for the full figured woman, and this means so many choices but few viable choices.
The problem I have is with button up extended plus size tops. No matter what size I get, I tend to make those tents in the front of the top between where the buttons close.
Those little tents are awful!
I tend to feel exposed, and to avoid this, I tend to swerve away from button up extended plus size tops.
After looking for a way to fix this, I heard a lot of advice. The number one suggestion was, “Go to a bigger size.”
Unfortunately, this is not a good idea. Once I get to a size where I do not get that tenting action, I find that the extended plus size tops seem to swallow me. Baggy is nice, but I want to have a shape rather than looking like a cereal box from the neck down.
After a bit of trial and error, I found I can actually sew the closure shut without removing the buttons and I have this great look without a lot of hassles. But I do not always have the time to haul the sewing machine out to sew a top shut. Plus it gets kind of awkward around the neck area.
A quick search of the internet didn’t really reveal any hidden tricks either – I know I cannot be the only full figured woman who suffers from this tent condition.
Yes, I like my extended plus size tops with button fronts; No, I do not like the tenting.
Does anyone have any hidden secrets that could help relieve this inconvenience?
