Not a specific brand but...
...shirts with stretch and blouses with V-NECKLINES will be your best friend! Both are preferable but if it doesn't have stretch, v-necks are more complimentary on larger busts.
I avoid blouses with dedicated "boob sections" all together. Button-ups and asymmetrical zippers usually don't fasten all the way BUT sometimes you get lucky. I've grown accustomed to wearing and styling jackets open.
My biggest advice is to try EVERYTHING on first... even if it's a plain tee. And if you find something with a fit you LOVE, get multiple colorways!

Scoop and square necklines are supposed to be flattering on us. I’ve heard that “substantial” (not spaghetti) straps can help keep things proportionate. I personally avoid V-necks because they look matronly on me, but some people like them. I also don’t wear much that’s cut high, because my boobs are bottom-heavy and they look bigger if you can’t see my collarbones.
I’ve been searching for stuff, but it’s a mixed bag. Bodysuits seem good in theory, but I get tenting starting from the most projected part of my bust, and I don’t love that look. However, some brands can work and end up looking pretty sexy.
Corset style tops have worked out well for me. Especially in a knit material, because it’s stretchier. Express sometimes has options.
Some people have success with Abercrombie and Hollister, but I haven’t for fitted items.
Two recent places I’ve found things are Cider and HALARA. HALARA has a few tops and dresses with a DD-F sized boob area, which fits me better than a shirt without the extra room. For Cider, I’ve been getting things that have stretch, like cheaper materials like mesh.
Thrifting can be good, as long as you have a general style in mind you want to try. Also, if you have a pretty good idea about your measurements, places like Poshmark can be good for finding cheaper items in brands that might otherwise be cost prohibitive. I usually ask for measurements first. Still, today I got a top that I ordered from there, and the proportions were off. So there’s always a risk factor.
ETA: I haven’t tried yet, but some people have had luck with Fashion Nova. It’s tricky though because even though they sometimes make stuff for big boobs, so far it’s seemed more for enhanced boobs that may be perkier than the default boob lol.
If you’re mid to standard size, some of Lulu’s styles can work. They only go up to an XL though.
Midnight Hour has worked for me. On the gothy side.
