Searching for "bust boutique"

Off the Rack ~ Autumn/Winter 2016 Curve Expo Part I

It’s that time of year again—the Curve Expo lingerie and swimwear trade show! Normally I write two posts about it, but this year I’m splitting it into four posts instead (plus however many Darlene writes). It’s exhausting trying to cram all the photos and news into just two posts! This week I’m sharing three brands […]

F Cup Fashion Followup with Veka & Samantha

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 […]

Pretty Bras for Big Breasts: Antigel

My first encounter with Antigel bras was a bit anticlimactic after the glamor and elegance of Éprise and Antinéa. Basically, the collection seemed like a variation of the Freya Deco–a lot of contoured cups but in interesting prints–plus one really neat 3-part charcoal basic in super soft Modal that you’re going to love. I planned […]

Back to Suzette’s Lingerie for More Everyday Bras

A few weeks ago, my friend Tina and I were making plans to get together when she asked, “Do you mind if we go bra shopping?” MIND? I could hardly wait! Since Eveden’s fit expert Freddy re-sized me in February, I’ve known that my 32FF Fantasie 4510 T-shirt bras were “too much bra”, as she […]

Where Are They Now? Miriam Baker

It’s only been four months since I highlighted new full bust designer Miriam Baker, but it’s worth highlighting her again because she’s taking the traditional garment industry route of creating seasonal collections to be sold through retailers–most companies that make clothing for large breasts sell directly to their customers. This means that the Miriam Baker […]

Fitting In: Maybe I’m Amazed . . .

Last January Patsy began her Fitting In column, but with summer around the corner, life threw her a bunch of curve balls and she had to disappear for a little while. (If you’re wondering what happened to Leila’s Fit Picky Full Bust Alterations, she writes about her own curve balls in 2014 on her blog.) […]

Deep Enough for D+ Cups: Wireless Sleepwear

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 […]

D+ Donation Dreams

Leah isn’t able to post today, so I’m using her space to link to my blog post about Bottomless Closet on the Campbell & Kate blog. What important work this non-profit is doing! However, I admit that I’m slightly conflicted about encouraging Hourglassy readers to donate their bust-friendly tops, jackets and dresses to this organization. […]
