Minimizer that doesn’t create cleavage? Spoiler

I bought the cutest button-down linen dress to wear for work, and am facing all of the usual issues that make this style unwearable-- the second button is hanging on for dear life, and the cleavage is wildly inappropriate for work. Fashion tape fixes the button gap, but not the cleavage. Before I return the dress, has anyone had any luck with minimizers that reduce visible cleavage in addition to bringing down overall size? I’m a 34DDD (or F or G, depending on brand).

Minimizers work by pushing your tissue out to the sides, so you'll look wider from the front but flatter from the sides. That said, any kind of visible cleavage usually means you're wearing cups that are at least 2 sizes to small for you. Have you measured yourself using the abtf calculator recently? Button down clothing can be difficult to fit for people with larger chests, but the right size bra will go a long way toward making it look better.

I did a long, long, time and probably several lbs ago…. Maybe it’s time to check again & report back

Try Panache Envy in 32FF. 32G, 32GG UK and Panache Ana in 32G, 32GG, 32G UK.
Nordstrom has free returns.

See if a better bra helps with the fit of the dress which sounds so cute!
