I agree, for me it's mostly about finding bras that fit but don't look like I just strapped myself into the space shuttle, and shirts that are actually fitted, darted, or otherwise acknowledge i don't want to look like I'm wearing a tent.

yes!!! I have some really cute tops that would otherwise look good, but w/ my boobs they just extend the shirt out too much that it makes me look bigger than I am....some even make me look pregnant (I only wear those when I have absolutely nothing else to wear).
I hate that I can't just look at a shirt and get it. I have to try it on because the way it looks on the hanger or the way it looks on other girls won't be the way it looks on me.

My biggest problem is dresses. By the time I get into a dress that can zip past my chest, it's about 3 sizes too big around my hips. Everything looks like a parachute.
Damn genetics. I blame the women in this family.

Oh and button up shirts, hello no. I've found one cut at Ann Taylor loft that looked good but even that has a tendency to pop a button at the WORST possible time.

There is this fabric tape that is double sided, that Stacy and Clinton suggest. It helps keep button-down shirts from pulling open. I don't know what it's called, but I bet that Wal-Mart or a craft store would have it.

I have some called "Fashion Tape", but you could just use double sided scotch tape to do the exact same thing. It's also great for any shirts that slide off your shoulders or show your bra straps. You just tape it in place.

Fwiw, I usually look for something that has some stretch to the top, or else "make" my own dress by getting the top & skirt in the same fabric. I look like a pouter pigeon in a suit!

I use it, and I'm trying to think where I got it - I think it was www.solutions.com. If not there, it was a sister catalog. It does work!

Thing is, I don't think even that'll quite do it :-/

I've never had a button pop, but i have had it where the shirt stretches. I'm not gonna be buying an XL or a 2XL just so the stupid shirt doesn't stretch.
I also hate it when different bras make the clothes fit differently, because most of the time i'll forget to wear that specific bra.
And on that note, I hate it when bras fit me differently. I'm a 36D, normally, but some bras I have to go up to a DD just so that they will fit properly without the 'spill over.' I have one strapless that is a DD and it STILL doesn't fit.

Yes, dress shopping is the worst. 8 on top 4 on the bottom. Thankfully I can squeeze into a fitted dress or I just buy one that's meant to fan out.
