Moving on to tops and dresses for strawberry-shaped women. You have a hard task ahead of you, since even conservative necklines tend to show cleavage in your case. Fear not! Especially if you are well-versed in the old tank-top trick. :-)
One really cool thing for you to try is tunic dresses. If you can't find any long enough, you can add a band to the bottom, or wear them as a blouse with a pair of straight-legged pants for a fun, Asian-inspired look! Bias-cut dresses are also a good choice for you, as are v-necked tops (though modest ones are hard to find) and dresses. Button-fronts (closed or open), open cardigans, and open jackets will help take attention away from the width of your top with thier vertical lines. Be advised, though, when it comes to button-fronts: all have a nasty habit of opening every so often, some more than others. Keep this in mind, and get one that doesn't gap so much. You also will want to wear another layer underneath.
What you really don't want is anything that will add volume to the top half of your body: puffed sleeves, thick shirts, shoulder pads, double-breasted coats, heavy embroidery, eye-catching designs, horizontal stripes, etc.
I only wish that I could give you more tips. Not being a strawberry myself, I'm afraid I can't give as much advice as I should like. Therefore, if you have any input regarding this, please share! :-)
