Today’s guest post is from fellow bra aficionado Maddie, who recently went to several big-name US stores that offer bra fittings to see what their fitting advice would be like. You can check out Maddie’s Victoria’s Secret experience (as well as VS experiences from other bloggers) at Braless in Brasil! (For reference, I would generally Continue Reading
So, you know that your old bras don’t fit, and you’re tired of it. You’ve measured yourself or used a good bra calculator to get a fairly accurate estimate of what your current true bra size is. And, you’ve also discovered that your new size is going to be hard to come by in most Continue Reading
Today’s post was written by my good friend and first-time-mom April, and it’s the first-ever guest post for the blog! April gives a quick guide to bras for nursing moms based off of her own experiences. So you’ve made the decision to breastfeed your child. Great! People are always talking about how good that is Continue Reading
Since my size has changed as of late, I’ve been buying a bunch of gently-used, cheap bras from some friends/fellow bra-lovers in order to help determine my exact size in different brands. I recommend this “buy a bunch of cheap bras in a small range of sizes” method (from ebay, Bratabase, friends, online communities, etc) Continue Reading
Have you heard about Curvy Kate’s Star in a Bra competition yet? It’s been held for women in the UK for the past several years (the UK competition for this year recently ended), but this year, there’s a U.S. competition for the first time! It’s down to the final week of voting for the Top Continue Reading

Check out what the other members of the team (By Baby’s Rules, Braless in Brasil, StackDD+, and Bras I Hate) have to say about the project! We hope that the results are eye-opening, not just to companies, but to women and girls Continue Reading
(I wrote this a while back and then debated about posting it – it felt too much like a rant. But after rereading it and seeing a recent post on The Lingerie Addict along the same lines, I do feel like it has a point to it and might spark some thoughts/discussion…) When I was Continue Reading
Today finally I got around (with the help of my mom and her sewing machine!) to modifying the band of the black 30GG Deco bra that I bought a few weeks ago. It’s really the first bra alteration I’ve done besides taking in a center gore, so I’m by no means an expert, but I Continue Reading
This is going to be a “reveal all” post. Yup, I’m going to show you all of the regular bras I own (besides my Enell Sports bra). There is a point to all this at the end, don’t worry! I will remind you that my underbust measures about 27 inches. I’m veering towards a 28H Continue Reading
As many of you may know, I’ll often recommend checking out Nordstrom to those of us in the U.S. who are looking for bras outside of the very small range that is usually offered in most department stores. I’ve never seen Nordstrom carry 28 bands in store, but I’ve generally felt safe recommending them to Continue Reading
