Top 10 Dresses for a Flat Chest

When it comes to styling for smaller boobs, strapless dresses are a perfect choice. One of the perks (excuse the pun) of smaller boobs is you can get away with wearing dresses that don’t offer as much support. Whether you want to draw attention towards or away from your chest, a strapless dress can be styled to suit both purposes.

Look for streamline dresses or neutral tones to draw attention to the neck and shoulders or opt for dresses with details around the bust that add volume like a layered top or colour-blocked strapless dresses that give a bit of pop to the chest.

Off-the-shoulder dresses are similar to strapless dresses in that they’re all about showing off the shoulders (it’s in the name right!?) So when it comes to styling off-the-shoulder dresses, look to keep jewellery simple and clean, and try styling hair back for a more sophisticated look and to further accentuate the shoulders.

If you're not comfortable baring both, why not try a single off-the-shoulder style? You're still offering a little of that shoulder spotlight, but the juxtaposition of one shoulder/arm covered versus not provides the same diverted focus point we're looking for... eyes up please!

Halter dresses are the best friends of small busts! If you’re looking to add a little volume up top, opt for a fitted waist to give you that extra oomph! Depending on whether you’re feeling daring or not you can play with low cut halter dresses, because why not! Where low cut necklines can be slightly dangerous for those with bigger busts and require careful movement, plunging necklines don’t present the same threat for those with smaller busts. Halter dresses can also work like a push up bra, depending on whether it has adjustable straps, you can tighten to give that extra bit of lift and create added cleavage. To avoid having anything showing and you’d rather keep hidden, opt for stick-ons and you’re set!

Empire dresses are a great choice for those who embrace their smaller boobs and want to draw attention to their chests! Showing that extra bit of skin with the v-neck is flattering for those with smaller chests and brings that feminine touch without overdoing it. Opt for a push up bra or browse our secret weapons, stick-ons, to give your boobs a helping hand. Style with a necklace to further enhance your chest and create cleavage.

Wrap dresses are truly fantastic for those with flatter chests and are perfect for giving the illusion of curves and creating an hourglass shape. Wrap dresses are adjustable, allowing for the perfect fit and preventing the fabric from gaping which is a common problem for those with smaller chests. Faux wrap dresses are also a good option to avoid gaping as they are fitted and give the illusion of the wrap style without the need to adjust, however, do consider the fabric here. In a structured fabric with less stretch, you'll often find added darting or room for bigger fillers.

When it comes to styling for a flat chest, necklines that are harder to pull off with bigger boobs are there to be taken full advantage of by those with smaller boobs. Cowl neck dresses are a prime example of dresses that look great on those with a flatter chest. While creating the illusion of cleavage and bringing attention to the area, the girls are also secure and unlikely to accidentally slip as is a concern for those with a bigger bust. Perfect for formal occasions, the cowl neck dress is timeless and elegant.

Similar to the wrap dress, fit and flare dresses create curves and can give those with flatter chests the appearance of a larger bust by drawing in at the waist and billowing out at the hips. Again pay close attention to the fabric and cut; darting through the chest can at times be detrimental to us flat-chest birds as we don't have enough to fill the space and utilise the added support.

Shift dresses are the perfect casual dress for those who are petite, those with flatter chests and are suitable for everyday wear. For those who don’t want to bring attention to their chests, shift dresses are optimal due to their loose fit and the fact they don’t cling to the body. For those looking to create a bit more shape style with a belt to cinch at the waist and give your silhouette some added curve. Pair with sneakers or flats to complete the casual look or wear with tights and boots for a smart casual winter fit.
