One example is the hot pink dress with jeweled cuffs that she wore when visiting Sterling Cooper's offices with her newborn son. Not only did it make Joan the focus of the scene, but the bright, happy color was a cover for the turmoil in her home life.
Only the black flowers printed on the dress hinted at how terrible she was feeling. On the surface, she was enjoying her maternity leave immensely, stopping by the office on the way to brunch or a shopping trip courtesy of her husband.
Joan's favorite piece of jewelry is undoubtedly her pen necklace, which viewers have interpreted in different ways. Some attest that the necklace represents her humble roots and her time in the secretarial pool. Others believe that it represents her ambition, her desire to be financially independent and free to make decisions about her life.
Janie Bryant believed that it symbolized her fending off all the men in her office with her feminine touch. Whatever the rationale, the pen necklace is undoubtedly another one of Joan's trademarks and an essential part of any Joan Holloway costume. As Joan moved up the ranks at Sterling Cooper, she bought new pieces of clothing that scaled with her income. Like Peggy, Joan was a working woman who would have realistically re-worn wardrobe staples and gradually added new pieces over time.
As her stature of the ad agency increased, so did the quality of her clothes. We see her celebrating her success at the beginning of Season 7 in an opulent black dress with elaborate feather detail and, later on, in a dress made from Chinese brocade with a plunging neckline.

Choose a dress that is made of a thicker material and has a little stretch to it. It should fit the curves of your body, and maybe even leave a little cleavage in the sun. If you can't find a dress, a high-waisted skirt and top combo will work, too. Wear a belt that accentuates your middle. The idea is not to wear it low on the hips, but at your actual waist.
Next Step: One way to make a bust look bigger is to add a wrap or blazer This look can be more casual, depending on the fabric the wrap is made of. An attempt to match the wrap to the shoes is a nice touch. You can easily make one from a button-down shirt.

She can show off her goodies while keeping everything under wraps. Try on some sweaters that are a size too small, in a stretchy material.
