Advice on tops

[Gina Angelo]

I am starting to grow my wardrobe but I am having a problem. I have found that many tops don’t work for a few reasons. I like sleeveless because of the weather, but my arms don’t look the best. I’m not showing guns, if you know what I mean. In the same way, short sleeves don’t always work either. And full or 3/4 sleeves can be a problem since my shoulder girdle doesn’t always fit comfortably.

So do I only buy pirate shirts? Is there a type of sleeve I should look for?

The next issue is that I have a significant drop betwwen my upper body (especially with breast forms) and my waist. I’m a 38-40 bra and a 33 waist. So when I find tops they usually are a size 12-14 but my lower half will fit a size 10 dress. So with separates, the top is too billowy at the waist and makes my abdomen look large when it actually is flat.

I know cis-girls with large breasts have the same issues.

So, do I just shop in Vegas??

Is there a style or cut for the top that I should be looking for? Do I just try to find a tailor??

Help please

Gina
