Above average style for the above average bust.
As I’ve juggled blogging and busty shirt making, I always thought the business side of things that I’ve procrastinated on would fall easily into place once I spent a little less time on Hourglassy. I was so wrong. Even the smallest project is like beginning an advanced course that I have no background in and am expected to teach […]
I was on vacation in Maine last week, including spending a few days in Portland, where my husband and I ate and drank to our heart’s content. I hadn’t anticipated doing much shopping there, and I certainly didn’t expect to find a lingerie shop that carried anything for the full bust, but that’s exactly what […]
It was my lucky day last Wednesday. I already had an appointment scheduled for late afternoon in New Jersey, so after I told you about the DD Atelier warehouse clearance sale, I took a little side trip to the DD Atelier warehouse where, for $146, I came away with three new dresses in three different sizes […]

But even more, I enjoyed finding Canadian full-bust clothing designer Miriam Baker’s links to her […]
On Saturday I finally got together with the big boobie newbie who thought she was a 38DD. As I suspected, she measured only 34″ around her underbust and 42″ around her apex. I sent her home with my old Prima Donna Satin in 34H, a few of my 34FF UK bras, and my old Enell […]
For all our mockery of those flimsy little shelf bras inside mainstream camisoles and nightgowns, guess what? They can help! Here’s a Fleur’t nightie that I found the same day as the Deco. It’s size M/L, and the shelf just fit over the expanse of my bosom. If I could have been guaranteed that it […]
Like many of us, Lorraine Morton grew up with a dearth of fashionable swimwear options, but she’s one of the few who decided to do something about it. Nine year ago, she created her own company, Miss Mandalay, to offer fashionable big bust swimwear without sacrificing fit and function. Along the way, she has become […]
