I have big boobs, and growing up it made me feel like I would never be considered fashionable or chic.

When you think of a person known for being "chic", who springs to mind? As someone who discovered fashion in the early 2000s, the names I come up with are the Olsen twins, Sienna Miller and Alexa Chung. Posh Spice, anyone? Gorgeous, stylish, fashionable women - but none of them are busty.

I'd obsess over their fashion in glossy magazines and on Tumblr, and the images of them are forever burnt into my mind. They were justso fashion.I'd look at them, braless in their slip dresses or oversized baby doll dresses, and then I'd look down at my chest and think, 'I'm never going to be stylish'.

I'm big busted. My boobs aren't small, neat or discreet. I literally buy my bras from a place called 'More Than a Handful'.

My breasts aren't fake - which means they aren't necessarily perky, sitting upright and firm on my chest. Instead, they are big, roundish (emphasis on the 'ish'), and need support. I have spent my whole life trying to wear a slip dress without a bra, and it either looks way sexier than I intended or my bust just looks like a droopy shelf. Neither look screams high fashion.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Sienna Miller, Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie, Kate Moss and Sarah Jessica Parker were considered style icons when I was growing up and experimenting with style. These were the women presented to us by the media as people whose style I should want to emulate.

Meanwhile, big busted celebrities like Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan and Pamela Anderson were stars we enjoyed sexualising, but not whose style you'd want to "steal" - and they were never featured in those 'Get the Look' guides in glossy magazines. They were tabloid fodder, and definitely weren't invited to the Met Gala.

The popular styles were dictated by what looked best on the most idolised celebrities, and they were things that don't really work for big busts: boob tubes, baby doll dresses and slips. All styles that looked horrendous on me. Boob tubes offered no support, baby doll dresses puffed out too much because my bust forced them to, so I'd look like a giant triangle. I was constantly in shops and in tears. I just wanted to look cool and chic, but everything was either too sexy or too baggy because I needed to get it over my chest.

How was a girl meant to feel fashionable when the fashion was simply not created for me? Of course, this was also the peak of the so-called "heroin chic" era. Everyone in the fashion world was small-busted and very thin. Fashion marketing was saturated by one type of body, and it wasn't mine.

Fortunately, my perception of myself did change, because the famous women now at the centre of fashion are much more diverse. I now have celebrities like Lizzo and Abbie Chatfield to look up to - stylish, busty queens.

They are also trendsetters, and their presence has meant more things are 'in' fashion that accommodate a larger bust.

Stylists are dressing famous women with boobs. This means these days it's much easier for me to find things in a shopping centre that work - so I guess I need to say thank you to all the Kardashians.
