Question on clothing, for the busty girls here

[Jiffylube854]

My gf wears a bra size 36DDD and is fairly slim (though still curvy). She has never been able to find a button down shirt that fit. They're either button popping in the bust, or like a muu muu in the belly. Can anyone recommend a place to buy an off the rack, simple, button down shirt, that would fit someone of her shape?

I think you mean button up shirt. Button down means the collar of the shirt has buttons which hold it down. It seems to be a common mistake in American usage.
Anyway I understand what you mean. Having a busty wife myself I can empathize.

also this for other ideas-similar to the tips you'll hear on What not to Wear, the real one on BBC with Trinny and Susanna

This is a start. I hope it helps. I am sure that as the day goes on some of the fashion conscious busty ladies on the forum will have additional tips for you, best of luck.

Or, buy for the chest; tailor the rest.

If you get shirts to fit the bust, it is a simple matter for a good seamstress to add a couple darts and take in the side seams.

My wife has similar sized breasts and she hates almost everything she tries on. She doesn't want the focus to be her chest, and everything that would fit right would do exactly that. I think Brandye has a pretty good idea.

There is a nurse in my surgery who is quite trim but with very large breasts. I asked her today. She starts with a mimimizer bra and has virtually all her blouses or shirts tailored by a local seamstress. Sweaters are all bulky ones to avoid that focus. She is also seriously considering a breast reduction.

Thanks, I guess tailoring is the only option really.

36DD sounds pretty tough, what is her shirt size. My girlfriend is 32D and a size 0/xs, some clothes are too tight and its noticeable behind the ribcage.

depending on your age group, if you are mid 20s or younger, try abercrombie/hollister.

Not the only option, but a viable one.
