made to fit men? :( They are very straight and make no allowances for female attributes, like curves or bust. :grr: I tried on blouses this past weekend because I was looking for a nice button-up silk blouse to wear with a suit. All the ones I tried at three different stores fit fine except through the bust. :cry: I even tried on some of 3/4 sleeve cotton ones (less dressy, but just for comparison), and they were actually better through the waist and hip area, but still too tight through the bust. I'm not huge-chested, but I'm definitely not flat either. Everything gapped at the bust (my sister calls that "gaposis"). :( I'm afraid that it's because of the way a lot of newer styles are cut.

Do any women DUers have any suggestions on where to find better-fitting blouses? (I know the male DUers would have a lot of suggestions. :P)

Thanks for any help you can give!
