(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
According to many studies, over 80% of women aren’t wearing the correct bra size. This means that only 1 or 2 women out of every 10 are wearing the correct size! (!!!) I could start blaming this fact on the terrible fitting methods promoted by many well-known stores (especially in the U.S.), but not all Continue Reading
Are you a 30, 28, or 26 (or even smaller) band? Did you know that, at least in the U.S., even the big-name bra companies believe that there is no market for your bra size? Or that if you wear a band size that’s 30 or under, you must be a “junior”? Do you want Continue Reading
Have you ever used a bra calculator to help determine your size? I’ve always been a bit skeptical of bra calculators – after all, you could just measure yourself and try to figure out the math on your own, and you’ll need to try on bras to figure out exactly what works best for you Continue Reading
Did you know that my bra size doesn’t exist? Well, according to most stores I’ve come across, it doesn’t. Some background: If you’ve been to department stores (Kohls, Pennys, Macys) in the U.S., you know that the sizing there, no matter what your size or viewpoint is, is extremely limited. The only way you’ll have Continue Reading
I’m by no means a fashion expert, a fashionista, or any of those things. My background in clothing growing up was mostly comprised of hand-me-downs and thrift store clothes. But, I figured I’d do a brief post on a few of the things that work for me in regards to clothing (tops, specifically). Keep in Continue Reading
This past week, after seeing on their website that they offered 28-band bras, I decided to make a trek out to The Enchantress bra boutique. True to the website, this cute little store offered many choices in Freya, Panache, Fantasie, Hotmilk, and several other well-known brands. I eagerly browsed the racks, noticing many sizes offered Continue Reading
