Above average style for the above average bust.
Our tagline–“Above average style for the above average bust”–often feels misleading because I’m so far from a role model for stylish dressing. On the other hand, I aspire to look stylish, and I know our readers do, too. So even if Leah and I are not professional stylists, we give busty women pieces that they […]
As you know, I’ve been searching for the elusive 8L fit model for a while. With so much bra-fitting awareness out there (Hourglassy readers, Facebook groups, Bratabase and Reddit), I thought it’d be easier than it was seven years ago, but it’s actually been harder! I finally gave in and paid $45 for this craigslist […]
You know what I’m thankful for? Having enough full bust companies out there to make it worth publishing a sales roundup for Black Friday and Cyber Monday!

Lion’s Lair Designs has a special place in our Hourglassy hearts. They helped Leah purchase her first cup-sized swimsuit when she was just learning her true bra size. Patsy shopped there in person and found a corset cami that I still want to try. And I even had dinner with owner Kim Berger and her […]
Recently Sally over at Already Pretty wrote that she can now “look at a dress online and tell if the Designated Boob Room is too big”. I had to smile because I’ve discovered that I can now look at a nightgown on a rack and tell if the Designated Boob Room is just right. It […]
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 […]
Hey, you all! Before getting any further with this post, I have a small announcement: Corporate Curves is back to a weekly schedule starting this week! This announcement serves as a great donkey’s bridge (as we would say it in my native tongue Finnish when skipping from one thing to a marginally semi-related thing). The […]
