Meet the 32DD Models at Zappos!

If you're not aware, Zappos has taken clothes shopping to the next level by using models of various measurements, and publishing their measurements! This is such a brilliant and novel idea. Instead of guessing how something will look on me vs. the generically small-busted model in the picture, I can see right there! The downside is that not every model is shown wearing every top, so if a shirt you like is being modeled by an A cup -- sorry. You can meet all the models here, but I'll save you some time, there are two 32DD models: Laura and Nicole.

Now, Nicole is busy making a case for my point that strappy tops make big boobs look like they are busting out. The strap is just way too delicate - it looks like it won't be able to hold them up much longer! Doesn't Laura look way better in her wider-strapped tank?? Back when I discovered this feature, I actually wrote to Zappos and recommended that they make each model photo a link to everything she has modeled, so for example, I can see every shirt that Laura has modeled - if it works on Laura, it will probably work on me. If they ever do get back to me, I will be sure and ask why so  many of their models seem to be staring so intently at something to the extreme right or left of camera.

While this should be a great feature, the bad news is that I have yet to see Laura or Nicole model anything. However, there is one model that gets a pretty heavy rotation that is useful. All though she is "only" a 32C/D (she's listed as both depending on where you look), Paige has the same problems I run into:




















Here, we see Paige in an incredibly unflattering crew neck T. Only one boob is present, and the result is sort of an undefined mess. Next, we see Paige in a much more flattering V-neck. Even though the V-neck isn't very deep, it does way more for her than the crew neck in terms of separating the breasts into two distinct body parts. I will say that that color looks fabulous on her; she can really pull of turquoise.
