How about short-rows to "ease" in the bust? I saw this on an episode of Knitty Gritty. The designer from White Lies Design mentions it. It looks better than "darts". HTH.

Too tight and you look like a poorly stuffed sausage. Since that middle area is so tricky, I always rely on camisoles to help me out. I button until comfortable (and socially appropriate) and then the camisole covers the rest.
