We’re down to the final two items in my recent Urkye order! This time, I have some comparisons for you. New blogger Muscular Hourglass and I recently discovered that we have very similar measurements, and thus will generally wear very similar clothing sizes. M.H. had made an Urkye order just before I did, and I Continue Reading
The second item from my recent Urkye order is the Kieska (Pocket-dress) in turquoise! Bras I Hate tried this dress recently as well with good results. Since she thought the 36oo/ooo was a little roomy for her and she wears a few cup sizes larger than I do, I decided to try the 36o/oo size Continue Reading
Have you heard about the company Urkye yet? They’re a small, Polish, “boob friendly” clothing company (much like BiuBiu) that just started up early last month. I made a small order about a week ago and received my package already, so be expecting several clothing review posts to follow! When I was first checking out Continue Reading
If you’ve read this blog much, you know that I tend to talk about how bra-fitting methods used in U.S. stores are all too often grossly inaccurate. Almost all stores use the incorrect and outdated method of adding inches to the underbust measurement (anywhere from 2-6+) to get a starting point band size, or they Continue Reading
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
I’m excited to announce that we’ve released The Bra Band Project on Flickr today! 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
