If You're Big on Top...

This halter-neck maillot gives a discreet glimpse of cleavage ($165, up to size 40F; Bond-Eye).

Keep in Mind:

Solids are always a good bet, but geometric designs can also counter fullness.
Springy fabrics, like nylon and Lycra, lift breasts, making you look leaner all over.
Halters emphasize shoulders.
If you want to minimize, choose a darker color.
Sturdy straps and real underwire built right into the suit provide the best support.
Always, always, always go for a wide strap.
