"When I wrote about how to flatter a big bust last week, commenter momwfaith said, &amp;quot;Ok, we&amp;#x27;ve talked about the busty girls. How can us not so well endowed chicks make em look bigger? I do padded bras, but want some real va-va-voom for date nights with the hubby!&amp;quot; Prepare for some fireworks on your next date night, doll! Great news that you&amp;#x27;ve already made BFFs with padded bras--just like minimizers for busty gals, they&amp;#x27;re an absolute must-have! But if you want to do even more to work with what you&amp;#x27;ve got, you can take a few cues from some of our favorite flat-chested celebs: Choose the right V-neck--and add embellishment!: A V-neck is a universally flattering neckline, but you&amp;#x27;ve got to choose the right one to maximize your cleavage potential. Jessica Alba&amp;#x27;s what I&amp;#x27;d call &amp;quot;barely a B,&amp;quot; and yet she&amp;#x27;s working some pretty substantial cleavage in this dress! Not to get too personal here, but look for a V-neck whose point hits at just about the same place as your nipples. Any lower (like this plunging Pucci number Rachel McAdams once wore), and it&amp;#x27;ll just emphasize your flat chested-ness (which is totally chic, if that&amp;#x27;s the look you&amp;#x27;re going for). But if you want to get even more mileage out of your newfound curviness, add embellishment: Notice how Jessica&amp;#x27;s sparkles create the illusion that there&amp;#x27;s a fuller cup there? Oh, and a little bit of bronzer goes a long way to create contours! Sign up for our style newsletter and get the best of our fashion blog, delivered straight to your inbox! Add volume...but not bulk: Speaking of embellishment, don&amp;#x27;t shy away from it because you fear it&amp;#x27;ll make the rest of you bod look bigger. Just be smart about the pieces you pick--Charlize Theron is rocking the heck out of this Dior dress that has a series of clever pleats and folds around the bustline to give her a more well-rounded appearance. But it looks well-balanced with the rest of her figure thanks to a cinched waist and a slim fit through the hips. Ruffles will have the same smart effect. Lift, separate, and introduce lace: Zoe Saldana is another member of what my friends lovingly refer to as the &amp;quot;itty bitty titty committee,&amp;quot; yet she&amp;#x27;s giving us just enough to ogle in this Vionnet dress (which, incidentally, we&amp;#x27;re obsessed with). The trick? The deep V starts just above her breasts (all the way up by the shoulders would create too long of a line, which would emphasize the smallness of her breasts, again like the Rachel McAdams Pucci dress) and creates two distinct areas. The lace overlay conceals things just enough to give you the idea that there&amp;#x27;s more to see under there than there really may be--it&amp;#x27;s like a veil that creates even more anticipation for the moment you finally get to see the beautiful bride! I hope that helps, @momwfaith! And if you want even more help getting all va-va-voom for your next big date, get 10 great tricks to make your boobs look amazing--no surgery required!
