10. Right Bra Size
Wearing right bra size and bra cup helps to provide proper support, comfort and less full look. Bras with wide straps hold the weight of the breast more evenly on the shoulders and thus provide comfort. Spilling out edges makes the breast look heavier, so wear minimizer bras .It distributes the bust in a flattening way and thus gives a less busty look.
11. Use a Minimizing or Sports Bra
Minimizing bras are specialty bras which specifically add no bulk. They help a little and may be enough for your purposes, especially if you're just wanting to fit into particular clothes. Sports bras, however, not only provide support but also flatten your chest. These originally served the purpose of stopping breasts from moving during exercise, causing pain. If large, painful movements are a concern (for both physical and superficial reasons), sports bras may be the solution for you.
12. Try Chest Binding
If you're desperate and none of the other options have worked for you, you can use chest binding as a temporary solution and last ditch effort. It only is really helpful for those with breasts in the US C-DD cup range, but you can use it outside of the range as well. Keep in mind that this may not be comfortable but it will get the job done if you just want to have some nice pictures taken or fit into a special dress.
13. Wear a Bra And Clothes That Fit
Wearing baggy clothes will only make you look larger all over and increase the problem. Wear clothes that aren’t tight, but fitted, and cover the breasts entirely to look good without attracting excessive attention. You'll want to do the same with your bra. Just wearing a bra that fits makes a huge difference in how your breasts feel.
