Above average style for the above average bust.
Back in May, I told you about the strappy tops from Bravissimo and the camis from Solutions. Then it stayed so cool for so long, that I didn’t feel like buying one until last week when (a) the Bravissimo top in my size said “awaiting stock”, and (b) I was larger than the DD that […]
As you may know, one of my goals is to provide national rather than only New York resources to full-breasted women. A participant on a beauty forum I like recently asked for the best place in Chicago to get a bra fitting. Someone answered “Victoria’s Secretâ€. I wanted to shout “NO†in all caps, but […]
I also liked Christina Binkley’s article about maintaining your style in the aftermath of a layoff. It totally justifies my purchase of new shoes to wear to a networking lunch. By the way, I’ve come up with the 3 words I want to describe me. More soon after I vet them with friends and acquaintances.

However, another woman from Merkel’s party who is running for a parliamentary seat, is using this ad […]

Besides representing my ideal customer’s body, it represents our collective worst nightmare of being seen only for our breasts. This perfectly expresses why “busty” isn’t one of the three words I’ll use to describe […]
I bought the August edition of People magazine* for its “Play Up Your Shape!” article. Here’s a summary of their advice for busty women (I love that they have a busty category): Look for tailored pieces that balance your chest and add width to your lower body. For everyday wear, I agree with this advice. […]
Yesterday, I finally passed the Bra Smyth store on the Upper West Side when it was open and I had time to browse. I was especially curious about the sign in the bottom of their window that said “Yes, We Have Edith Lances Bras“. Syeda, the woman behind the counter, showed me the pictures below […]
