As a woman with an 8H bust size, even shopping for basic tops has always been a struggle.
Raise your hand if you've been here:
Had to size up for my boobs, now it's too big everywhere else.
See-through! How am I supposed to wear a bra?
This is not meant to be this short, my boobs just took up all the fabric.
The "classic" t-shirt, which my boobs make into a tent.
So I did something about it.
My Busty Basics Tops are ribbed, form-fitting tops made with your boobs (and bra!) in mind.
Extra space in the bust
The actual shape of my shirts is cut with extra room just in the bust area, and a standard fit everywhere else. No more sizing up to fit your boobs!
Bra-friendly necklines
Designed to conceal your bra and bra straps without excessive coverage. This means on the tanks, your bra won't be on show under your arm!
Double-lined construction
Bye, transparency! Double-lined material means these tops hold their shape and won't stretch and warp because of your bust size.
Extra length in the body
No more accidental crop tops. A tiny bit of additional length at the front hem accommodates the fabric your bust takes up.
A unique sizing system.
Like all of my clothing, the Busty Basics Tops are sized by your body and your bust separately.
That's because someone who wears a size 10 and has a D cup will need a different size than someone who's a 10 with a J cup - naturally!
Simply choose your regular dress size, then your regular cup size. Easy as that.

Cleary I wasn't alone in my struggle to find quality, well-fitting shirts! I hope you love my tops as much as I do.

FAQs
Do these tops have a built-in bra structure?
Nope!
The Busty Basics Tops were designed to pair with your favourite bra. There is no padding or shelf structure inside the shirt itself - we'll leave the bust support to the Busty Basics Bras!
When we say cup sizing is incorporated into these tops, that just means the actual shape of the shirt accommodates a proportionally larger bust and smaller frame for a perfect fit all over.
I wear a FF cup, which cup size should I choose?
If you wear an F, FF, or G cup, great news!
Both the (D-F) and (G-J) sizes will probably fit you just fine. These tops are super stretchy, and all sizes are cut for proportionally larger busts, so sizing can be flexible.
The difference between (D-F) and (G-J) for you ladies in this cup size range isn't going to be dramatic - you might notice a touch more firmness through the bust, and a hair less coverage in the neckline, in the (D-F).
I'm between dress sizes!
If your usual dress size is something like a 10-12, or 14-16, both of those sizes will probably work for you.
Go with your smaller size for a more firm, bodycon fit. Go with your larger size for a little bit more wiggle room through the tummy area.
These tops are designed to be quite firm and figure-hugging, so we advise against sizing up for a looser look as it will also size up across the shoulders and might result in a funky fit.
