Shopping for a larger bust at Torrid is tricky, but once you figure out what works best for you, stick to it! So most of the time I am able to buy in Torrid size 2 for tops. Since my bust is large, I have found that shirts with a free bust work out best. Free bust (my definition) are tops without gathering or empire/babydoll busts.
For example I purchased the black lace inset v-neck top. (This top is now sold out, purchased 4-12-12) I love the soft feel of the fabric, and the lace adds a glam touch to an otherwise basic tee. The v-neck is also very flattering. This is a definite keeper for me.
ETA 5-24-12: I ended up returning this top, it was too loose in the stomach area and had no structure. It was just too long for me, and I'm so short. Totally would have kept it if it were banded though.
This top also worked for me since it has a free bust. This fit perfectly, was super soft, and I loved the banded waist. This is still available at torrid.com, it is the Black Butterfly off shoulder top.
Ok, so now let me show you something that will not work out for me. I will not even bother purchasing such an item, as beautiful as it is. This top has a gathering on the bust. From previous experience with tops exactly like these...they just emphasize a larger bust, and that's exactly what I am trying to avoid.
Another top I would avoid (since I have a larger bust).
I don't even know how I would hold myself up in this top?
In conclusion, anything with a gathering, "smocked", or elastic at the bust will not work for me. I avoid these sort of tops. Tops with v-neck, shoulder tee, or free bust work best for me.
