I think it looks fine. If anything, why don't you unbutton it. I don't think it is too low, now or if you unbutton it. You have a cami underneath. It is perfectly fine. I would also add a necklace. Something little or chunky.

Hey guys!

Just wanted to follow up - thanks so much for the advice. I decided the key was if I was asking I was going to be nervous and feel weird about it, so it wasn't a good idea. I will def keep it and would wear it in a casual setting, and probably to the office in a few pounds!

Also wanted to say, the interview went great today. You never know for sure but I will be pretty surprised if I don't get an offer. So woohoo!

When I get slight pulling in the fabric like that, I use a safety pin to secure the two halves of my shirt together. It often reduced the wrinkling and gives me the added peace of mind that my buttons arent about to burst open!

I would open the top button and wear it. Nothing is falling out, no boobage is showing--it isn't a question of it being inappropriate for the office as it looks fine to me...it just looks like that last top button is a bit snug in the fit, and if opened it would be fine. @running from fat, thanks for the links. I especially like the biubiu garments, and the fact that it used real women in their pics. That is the problem with other so-called specialty shops--Lane Bryant continually uses tall women to advertise their clothing, when its better known for "big" rather than "tall", but we never get to see the clothing shown on an actual big girl! Those girls at biubiu look like regular "me" kind of girls. Much appreciated.

I'm glad it could help! I also love that about the biubiu clothes. They have a page on facebook where many women send in their photos wearing their garments and it's such a good place to get an idea on how they fit. I'm planning to order from them in a couple of months (maybe as a treat once I hit a healthy BMI) but I've heard the quality is absolutely amazing too.

IMO, it's too snug to wear anywhere. Sorry, but the "wrinkles" at the bustline are a pet peeve of mine. I think it's fine in the waistline though. Button up shirts that fit properly are difficult to find.
