Outside of your purchase of an anatomy book for artists, I can tell you that such things are best handled by line and shading!. It is best to give a suggestion of the line of the bust, rather than attempt the actual definition, at least for clothed figures!.

There is on my blog one of my drawings of just such a figure, if you are interested in seeing what I mean!. The line of clothing in the figure suggests at the delineation of the bust, and shading on the plunging neckline addresses form:

PRACTICE!.

Draw from life as much as you can, and keep your eye on the subject not the paper!. If you can get a friend to pose for you or a relative, they don't have to be nude or anything but that would be better!.
I suggest you get a book called Anatomy for Artists By Richter!. It breaks down the human anatomy from skin to bone structure, I swear by it!.

The bottom line is to practice, though!. Only you know the language of your eye!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

EDIT:
Struth! A bit of warning please!.!.!.!. EDIT >>!. EDIT:!.!.!.!. etc!.!.!. Practice makes perfect!.

Alternatively, trace off a picture of a life figure!.!.!. until you get it right!.!.!. not quite the same amount of fun!.!. but you will get the idea!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This book helped me tremendously!. It's kinda pricey though
