Nursing has given me a wonderful 36DD or F chest, but I can't find any button front shirts that don't gape around the buttons or hang on me like a tent. I'd like to find some fitted shirts to wear under suits. I've tried Gap, J. Jill and Ann Taylor without any luck. TIA!

Sorry, unless you get them altered, it is either tent or gaping buttons. :( I was in the same boat. It sucks. I'd try buying a tent that fits around the bust and then taking it into a tailor. They should be able to put some darts in for a reasonable price.

If you figure anything out, please share because I'm in the same boat (36G). I have a hard time finding any shirt that fits properly but especially a button up. I've found that nursing tops sometime are a little better at allowing for big chests but not always. Good luck!

My solution... nothing with buttons up the front. Silk t's are great for this. Sorry, nothing clever. I wish!

Try Ralph Lauren, Liz Claiborne, Talbots, etc... I know they aren't as much fun, but I've had luck with those brands.

I am a 38D even while a I am not Pg, my chest hasn't gotten very much bigger. I have found Gap maternity button front oxford types that have some stretch in a size larger than I normally wear work best for me! Even when I am not PG I wear them. I also bought a Liz Lange from Target button front top in a size larger. I usually go between a L and XL so I buy an XL or XXL and they are fine!
