Plain polo shirts (flattering fit??)

Hey everyone. At my place of work I have to wear a polo shirt with the company name embroidered on the left breast and printed on the back. My boss ordered me the 'ladies' ones in size small but they really are quite bigger than I expected... a 12-14 at a guess.

Been wearing them for a good while now and they are very unflattering on me, my chest looks non existant lol. Would like to look online for some which are a flattering fit that I can get embroidered the same as the ones I have, but I don't know where to start??

Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks :D

    You could just safety pin it at the back on the inside so it looks like its gathered on the outside or you can buy double ended clips to wear on the outside of the top with the same effect, this should make it a more fitted top, I think I saw the clips in Claires a while ago:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    Thanks but I would really just rather buy new ones that fit properly.

    Have you checked with your boss that it's OK to wear a different style work top than the official workwear provided? ;)

    Who currently manufactures the workwear?

    Think it was Xanax/Xamax or something. Got polo shirts, fleeces and jumpers from there. (They all swamp me but fit the guys just fine!)
