Please can anyone help translate the following phrase:
"aux plus grandes de la porter joliment décolletée aux épaules"
The context is a French clothing catalogue and the overall phrase is:
...avec une encollure froncée qui permettra aux plus grandes de la porter joliment décolletée aux épaules si elles le désirent.
I understand the meaning but the phrasing has to be exact.
Many thanks in advance.

Of course, the point here may be about larger, not taller women.

Comment: "Thanks for this suggestion. The suggestion given above about "curvier" was well put, but in this particular context, taller was the right word to use. Many thanks!"

to enable curvier women to wear it attractively off-the-shoulder.
I often use 'curvy' as it's a more pleasant term than 'larger'.
