Above average style for the above average bust.
The shape and lift of my Empreinte Grace is so perfect that I wondered if I could find a beige equivalent to wear under my white shirts. In the past, every time I wore my Empreinte Kaela or Wacoal Alluring, someone would take me aside and whisper, “I don’t know if you realize it, but […]
As I write this, I’m wearing a Peach Lovely Full Coverage bra that the company gifted me after a fitting with them at TechStyleNYC last September. The fabric is satiny soft over lightly padded cups, and even though the band provides most of the support, I really appreciate the cushioned wide straps with lace on […]
Are you back in the swing of things yet? I have a lot of ideas almost ready to be shared with you here. Right now, however, I’m putting all my effort into the shirts that I almost finished before the holidays. Just because I know how to sew doesn’t mean I’m fast yet! In the […]
The last time I told you about More Front Room, I ended with a mild cliffhanger: If you’re like me, you’re probably wondering about a size chart that goes from XXS to XL without an additional metric for bust. Short answer: each size is designed to fit the largest cup size but also meant to […]
How appropriate that Leah wrote about her Urkye tops on Friday because I’ve wanted to share photos of my own purple Veka top, but I didn’t have enough to say for an entire writeup. Now it’s simply a matter of adding my average-to-short-waisted experience hers. Before I say anything else, I have to warn you […]
If you clicked on the Paige dress when I wrote about Bitter Lollipop last month and thought, “I would get a lot of wear out of that dress”, you were 100% correct. In fact, the Paige is one of Bitter Lollipop’s bestsellers, so there are a lot of smart women with the same idea. When […]
Empreinte was the inspiration for my very first “Pretty Bras for Big Breasts” post in 2011. Once I saw their bras in person, I longed to own one. As it turned out, I ended up owning the same one twice. First I purchased (and returned) the Kaela and showed you the difference between it and […]
Without fail, every single bra I own cuts into me in the same spot—my right side where the underwire and the band meet, and then following the band back. And I do mean that literally. Even too-big bands, even my Panache sport with its padded, enclosed wires, still hits that spot and drives me crazy. […]
