I just love that there’s a brand focused on busty women. It can be very hard to find outfits that are flattering on our boobs and still hug or hold our silhouette the way they’re supposed to. Too often, we have to compromise on our style or comfort because of this. When you create outfits with bigger-boobed women in mind, these little things are thought of, and it can make a big difference in shopping and finding the right fit. “Bawsty is a love letter to all curves and cup sizes alike.”
