I’ve been absent a while. I’ve written several hey-i’m-back drafts and finished none. So, I’m doing this the only way I know how, at the moment. A review. Why would a woman who isn’t pregnant or lactating try a nursing bra? Well, the never-ending search for comfortable, flexible bras to accommodate fluctuating cup and band […]
Big Bust Celebration Dressing: An Evening Gown, an LBD and Some Wishes
I promised Darlene from Hourglassy a May post for her Big Bust Celebration Dressing series, and since it’s the 26th and June is around the corner… well, here we go. *** I’ve looked for an evening gown for years. Yes, years. Most wouldn’t zip in the back, and if they did…they required some sort of […]
Happy 2015 (the 2014 sabbatical is over).
Oh, hello readers, I won’t bore you with any details of my blogging sabbatical, because it’s a new year with a new start and here I am. In brief, what I’ve tried while I’ve been gone: Polish bras Semi-custom bras Wireless bras Extenders Cutting wires of balcony bras Removing wires from (expensive) balcony bras […]
Old Navy Tee for Wide Shoulders and Big Chests!
When you have wide shoulders and a large chest, fashion advice like “easily paired with jeans and a plain tee” can make you see red. But I never give up hope… and am eternally in search of plain tees that fit both chest and shoulders. And last week I found five… If you are similarly […]

Lucy Activewear for Wide Shoulders, Larger Busts and Hips, and Long Rises
Athletic apparel designed to fit wide shoulders, larger busts and hips, and long rises is difficult to find. But thanks to a little luck and a very patient and helpful salesperson at the local Lucy store, I found some well fitting workout options. First, a note about Lucy’s size chart. Luckily, Lucy appears to make and stock athletic […]
Kohl’s Spring Selections
I am not a Kohl’s shopper, but ironically this is my second post about a successful Kohl’s shopping experience. Kohl’s has me on the Dockers shorts hook. Kohl’s stocks Dockers in several styles and when it comes to basic shorts to fit my high rise 8-Hourglass shape, Dockers is a great fit. Two months into […]
Panties for a Long Rise (that you can buy locally, today).
Some days, finding panties to fit a long rise can be as frustrating as finding a bra that fits. I can honestly say that while I have developed patience for bra and clothes shopping via mail-order, I am not willing to extend the same to my everyday underwear shopping. I think I’m determined to find […]
Ribcage Flares and Bra Band Fit
When it comes to figuring out why your bra doesn’t fit or feel as good on your body as you want it to…the list of possible problems appears endless. One common complaint is a crawling or shifting band, and when this happens, women are almost always given the advice “Your band is too big, and […]
Review: Lunaire Seamless Sports Bra 267-11
The Seamless Sports Bra is Lunaire’s new all-around cup-sized sports bra offering, debuting in the latter half of 2013. I must admit, when I chose the Seamless, I thought it was wireless…. If you look back at all of my sports bra posts, you’ll notice I haven’t tried a wired sports bra (and passionately opposed the idea […]
