Above average style for the above average bust.
When I showed you how the DD Atelier Samantha dress fits me a few weeks ago, I confessed that I was going through a frumpy phase. Well, it turns out that confession is not only good for the soul, it’s also good for the wardrobe. Your comments became my homework assignment, and this is the […]
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 […]
Here comes another Trashy Diva review! This is actually my first full-price item from the vintage reproduction brand. All the other garments I’ve purchased have been with a coupon, a sale, or a great eBay deal. It’s the Streetcar dress in the new cherry print.

Well the little legal ceremony is definitely happening. We’re holding it at my parents’ cabin in the countryside of […]
Last week, I wrote about Claudette, Curvy Kate, Panache, and Cleo by Panache at the CurvExpo. This week I’ll share my findings from Marlies Dekkers, Mimi Holliday, Freya, and Parfait by Affinitas. Some of the photos may not be safe for work, so click below to read it all. And click each image if you […]
Aren’t you impressed with the care with which the seamstress matched the intricate patterns in this vintage dress? You can also find such attention to detail in this longline bra from my friend Moira Nelson‘s collection of vintage lingerie. Neither this dress nor this longline are sized for a full bust, and as much as […]
