What are the best clothing stores (for shirts) you women with hourglass figures have found?

Target used to make shirts (juniors) that would fit my curves NICELY, but alas, they've stopped making them. Most shirts either have to be super tight around my bust, to keep my waist from looking large. A lot of my new shirts hide my waist and add inches, and I'm tired of that.

Thanks

edit: I'd like to keep my clothes appropriate for public. I'm in my early 20's (will be 23 in 7 days, to be exact).

Try womens/miss stuff. Juniors has more of a strait cut and I personally think they do fit odd if you have a big chest or are over a size 4/6. Its just not cut for curves always. The missus stuff has bigger cuts for boobs and nips in at the waist more. Womens stuff does that too but sometimes I find the shoulders a little big.

You can also try different bras. My CK ones sorta squish it down and make it more square (great for button shirts) where VS kinda puts them out there and up. (both same type of bra - full coverage/underwire)

I try to find stuff by looking at the clothing guides for a brand and compare them to my measurments. The ones closest to my natural measurments seem to fit best.

I think express does have a lot of curvy cut stuff.

I don't shop very much any longer, but I found that Dress Barn and Casual Corner had clothes that looked nice on me. I'm not sure that CC is still in business, but DB is. Since they have both DB and DB Woman, you have a nice selection. If you have the money, I would also look at specialty dress shops.

Good time for testing the waters!
