Searching for "grace"

Catching Up & Looking Ahead

Unbelievably, when I tried my size 3 Enell sports bra on for the first time yesterday, it was too big. At least it seemed too big–I didn’t have the no-bounce-possible feeling I anticipated, and there was extra fabric between the band and apex. So I’ll report back after I exchange it for size 2. Another […]

You Really Do Need a Bra Bag.

Every time I’ve seen this bag at Linda’s, I’ve thought, “Who would walk around with a purse shaped like a bra? That’s just silly.” Yesterday waiting for a fit model there, I finally opened the bag and immediately understood. For any of you who have ever struggled to protect your molded bras as you pack […]

Two Discoveries

After meeting two potential fit models this weekend, I feel like I’ve had my head in the sand regarding the challenges that some of us face. First, I’ve been assuming that the beautiful bras available for DD’s and DDD’s are available for everyone. Not so for the H cup. Those fabulous laces and ribbons–especially on […]

Boat Neck Shipwreck (and other observations)

Okay, so this tee shirt is actually a cross between a crew neck and an almost boat neck (or “bateau”), but you get the point. I love this shirt because Mr. Campbell chose it for me, but you can see why I never would have bought it for myself. Boat necks parallel our bust lines, […]

Quality Thoughts: We Should Pay for What We Get

Sometimes I scoff at the price set for a simple garment in a department store. If the pattern is uncomplicated, the fabric average and the garment is made overseas, then it didn’t cost very much to make. I’m inclined to wait for a sale rather than pay the full retailer’s markup. On the other hand, […]

The Perfect T-Shirt Search Continues

After two commenters recommended J.Crew for T-shirts last week, I couldn’t wait to give them a try. I left the house in a wrinkled shirt last Friday, so I was all the more motivated to find one that day (you know how you talk yourself into believing it’s not that bad, only to discover it’s […]
