Off the Rack ~ Autumn/Winter 2015 Curve Coverage Part II

Continuing my coverage of the Curve Expo, this week I’m focusing on our familiar brands Claudette, Curvy Kate, Parfait, and Panache. Panache in particular was really good to us this year, spending oodles of time showing us the new collection and having the models put on anything we wanted. As a reminder, everything we saw […]

Off the Rack ~ Winter 2014 CurvExpo Part 3

This week you finally get to see my image-dump and notes from the old standards of Claudette, Panache, the Eveden brands, and Parfait. I’ve pretty much stopped covering Curvy Kate because they just don’t fit me at all, so I can’t say much more than “isn’t this pretty?” First up, Claudette. I missed the last […]

Off the Rack ~ CurvExpo Winter 2014: The New “Nude”

With such limited time, I ended up just catching up with the usual suspects of Claudette, Curvy Kate, Panache and Cleo by Panache, Freya, Parfait by Affinitas, Mimi Holliday, and a […]

Full Coverage Reading Roundup for D Cups and Up

Yesterday I took a break at the grocery store to skim the May issue of O Magazine, and now I have a gripe to share with you. Tell me if you think I’m being oversensitive, but these excerpts from Florence Williams’ article “Breast Case Scenarios” do nothing to promote the body confidence of large-breasted women. […]

Really an H Cup . . . Maybe

I’m telling you this for 2 reasons. ONE Last September, I began my Princess and the Pauper experiment with a 36G Wacoal Alluring and a 34G Empreinte Kaela. By November I was on the middle hook in each bra, and I’m now on the tightest hook in each.  The Kaela feels amazing when I first […]
