Wear simply draped as seen above with the burgundy Hermes and tassel necklace to add a lean look, or with tails hanging if your scarf is a long one. Tie a knot in the ends of thicker or wider scarves to reduce bulk around the bustline. Use strategically placed tying techniques or scarf rings to help your scarf sit flat above your bust rather than voluminous around your bust. Avoid scarves that add bulk or volume at chest level. I hope that’s helpful. Lovely to see you!

However I just love the scarf attached to the cami, that would work really well. I also have a couple of pieces of real silk that I could make into scarves. Did you machine sew your scarf? What a great idea!

I saw many stylish ladies in Paris and Bordeaux who were more ample in the bosom, wearing scarves curled around their neckline, and tucked inside their shirts or dresses. I think the key is NOT to have dangling tails, or as you say, you're adding bulk. Good point.

Within the past few months I have purchased three gorgeous and colorful scarves at thrift stores, for around $5.00 for all three. That's a huge bargain! I even was stopped by a well-dressed young woman at least half my age in a coffee shop asking where I'd purchased the scarf I had on. She told me that I looked totally on point. It really doesn't take a huge budget to look pulled together, does it? Teresanoreply@blogger.com
