Help with interview wear?

    I have an interview with a entry level job in a few days and I have a problem with what I'm wearing. I feel better asking here then in the work and jobs section as this is more about being comfortable to me then what would be appropriate.

    So I lost weight recently and I'm having a problem finding an interview shirt that fits everywhere, the problem being the boobs area. All the shirts I have are either fitting everywhere perfect except make my boobs look like they are exploding out (no exaggeration) or they fit the boob area but the shirt is too baggy and long and looks out of place with the suit.

    So I was wondering what sort of examples of a plain or dressy top to wear thats big boobs friendly :rolleyes: that I would be more comfortable in wearing than a too big or too tight shirt. I'm a size 16/18 with 38D boobs.

    I've had a few interviews recently and wore shirts I wasn't happy with and it made me very uncomfortable about my appearance which probably reflected on how I felt in the interviews. While I want to make a good impression, I think I would have greater confidence in myself if I wore something I was happy with.

    I have never wore a shirt with a suit! Which probably makes me odd but I find them too uncomfortable under the jacket and I feel awkward!

    I've wore the following tops to interviews/work with a suit.

    I think once the top is pretty and you feel comfortable in it, it will look fire under a suit jacket!

    Best of luck with the interview!

    Any plain top that's not too high or low necked (no cleavage, but not to your neck either) frm M&S or Next will do, cream or black will work with most suits. keep the jacket buttoned at least before you sit down. (this look) Alternatively consider getting a shirt more designed for boobage, Bravissimo do them, not sure if Bramora stock them?

    I got something very similar to this top, but in a light blue and it looks perfectly with the suit and I feel very comfortable in it.

    Thanks both of you for the help! Hopefully this interview will go my way!

    Best of luck!
