It's been a month after I stopped BFing do hopefully I can wear them again soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184688 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 12:52:44 +0000 Meridian 184688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've given up on button down shirts, permanently :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184677 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 12:35:25 +0000 lemondrop 184677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I do safety pins like @Sammyfab and @Jumpingjacks. Eventually I may look into the more expensive shirtys, but for now I'm going with looser shirts to make breastfeeding easier anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184519 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 09:33:28 +0000 kentuckygirl 184519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I also used to wear them partially unbuttoned with a tank underneath, but now I just don't buy them. </p> <p>@pelikila: Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184516 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 09:26:58 +0000 Sammyfab 184516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! I started using safety pins like @jumpingjacks but now with BFing I can't wear those shirts anymore. Now I wear looser button ups (e.g. Chambray shirts). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184466 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 07:40:00 +0000 mediagirl 184466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I always wear a tank under them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184464 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 07:33:30 +0000 Andrea 184464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I don't like them anyway. </p> <p>Thomas Pink do make ones that have no gap on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184461 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 07:29:59 +0000 MamaMoose 184461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find the only shirts that don't do this to me are brooks brothers. Pricey but very high quality so worth it in my opinon. They have been fine for me while preggy but I'll let you know if they still work once I'm pp and breastfeeding.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184455 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 07:22:01 +0000 pelikila 184455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try Rebecca &amp; Drew button down shirts. They are made to fit your bra size and no longer gap in the front. They are pricy but you won't find a better button down. <a href="http://www.rebeccaanddrew.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rebeccaanddrew.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184444 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 06:58:22 +0000 oliviaoblivia 184444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this problem...found the perfect shirt (J Crew)....bought a whole bunch....got pregnant.....now my porno boobs don't fit. Hopefully I can wear them again post baby, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184434 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 06:50:49 +0000 chopsuey 184434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never wear button downs. I'll wear em only if I wear a cami underneath, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184428 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 06:31:15 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 184428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly, this has never been a problem. They make up a huge portion of my wardrobe. It's a trade-off, though, as most jackets/blazers look silly without something to fill them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184422 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 23:35:46 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 184422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad I'm not the only one. I feel so gross that I can't wear any of my regular button downs and probably never will be able to again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184419 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 22:43:15 +0000 Jumpingjacks 184419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to use a safety pin to keep it closed. I'd just weave the pin into both sides, but into the back layer of the front fabric piece so the pin didn't show. But since I got pg and the boobs grew, even that doesn't work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184408 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 21:57:02 +0000 mrsdoily 184408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have not been able to wear them since puberty. I'm jealous of women who can wear that sleek look with cute button blouses and tailored pants with some awesome heels, because I can definitely not rock that look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184397 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 20:53:10 +0000 photojane 184397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! i've been busty since puberty, so i've never been able to wear them. i haven't worn a button-down since... i can't even remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184387 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 20:13:26 +0000 Rubies 184387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I HATE button-down shirts. At one point before I was pregnant, I was able to wear them but that was a short-lived moment of time. Also at one point, Gap/BR started making shirts with their buttons strategically sewn in to avoid the annoying gap but that was years ago and I'm not sure they still make them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184385 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 20:13:08 +0000 prettylizy 184385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave up on button downs a while ago. I used to sew the seams shut in the gapping areas with a hidden stitch to avoid the gap and I'd have to pull them over my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184381 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 20:10:44 +0000 autumnlove 184381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I never wear button down shirts anymore! :-( I miss my Thomas Pink shirts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-button-down-shirts-gap-in-your-boob-area#post-184380 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 20:09:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 184380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can never find button down shirts that fit. They always gap in the boob area. If I get a larger size, it fits me too big in the shoulders and arms. I love button down shirts, but it's impossible to find ones that fit well!</p> <p>Do you have the same problem? </p>
