Image via Etsy There's pretty much nothing I love more in a dress than a fancy, sculptural bust line. The shelf bust, written about briefly on the Vintage Fashion Guild, is a somewhat vague term that applies to a design that's built up in a way that makes the bust appear to be on a shelf.

All sorts of...
