Above average style for the above average bust.
Somehow there’s always something new, different or better to tell you about after our visits to CurvExpo. Here are my favorite SS2017 finds from the French companies that we visited. Aubade is finally offering a G cup! On a pre-wedding shopping trip with my best friend in 2008, I discovered the Aubade Bahia in black. […]
Let’s begin with the most important question: How’s the fit? Answer: American (32-46 C-G). For those of you who wear up to an F cup in the British brands, you have another beautiful option. For those of us who wear above a British F cup, there’s a chance that the Crème Bralée G cup will […]
Recently I had a sudden urge to know once and for all whether I could fit a Fraulein Annie bra in 36G. Someone in New York City had to carry one of her bras in that size, right? Right. Kaori’s Closet in Soho was sold out and waiting for a new order, but Brooklyn Fox […]

I’ve updated my Bluesuits posting to give you better details about Jamak’s jacket and pants. When I’m ready to get serious about my personal brand, I’m going back to those pants.
