Freya Naomi Balcony bra~ Do I love you or hate you?
When I first saw this bra I wanted it badly. I love the pink color with the black lace. I love the print. It looks like checkers until you look up close. I love the little pink bows on the straps. So lets start with some basics of this bra. It’s a normal 28 band …
Fell in love~ the Harlequin Rhea
I met a bra yesterday that I absolutely loved. I did not think it would fit, I almost did not order it. But someone had entered in the measurements on Bratabase in a size 28H. The measurements looked pretty good so I thought I would give it a try. I wanted to order the Freya …
D+ cupsizes, why you do not add four
I wanted to give a visual representation to the war on plus four. Many people do not understand what is wrong with adding four inches to your underbust measurement. First I want to point out that bra sizing is very subjective. It is highly individual and what works for one woman may not work for …
The War on Plus Four, Playtex bra fit makeovers
A recent post by Busts 4 Justice has inspired me to write this post. Through her blog post I discovered that I should be wearing a 32DD, not my actual bra size. You see, Playtex is using the add inches method to fit as many women into the most narrow range of sizes possible. The …
Bra fitting with implants~ It’s the same but totally different.
I happened into the bra fitting world by a choice I made in life. I made the choice to get implants. Really, if I had a proper bra fitting before getting implants it would have made my choice much easier. I was the girl wearing a 32AA bra that was too large, who should have …
Home waxing shenanigans
So this post has nothing to do with my normal bra reviews and fitting. But it is so funny, I have to share! For Christmas my husband got me a waxing kit from Sally’s Beauty Supply. It’s supposed to have everything you need in it, ready for you to use. I already like to wax …
You want to find my bra size how??
Being in the United States there is a major lag in places to go to get a good helpful bra fitting. The things fitters do and the way they size amazes me. There are actually stores that advertise “certified” bra fitters. How they heck do you become certified? Is there a professional organization that lends …
Bra size caculators~ Why you shouldn’t bother
Any woman who has ever worn a badly fitted bra has probably tried to find their “correct” bra size online through a calculator. She is probably as frustrated as the woman who tries to find her size online so she can order a bra, hoping it fits because she cannot try it on in stores. …
Need bra karma? Donate your old bras!
I recently posted about the new year and going through your bras to replace what is worn with new. Because of that post I was contacted by The Clothing Library. The Clothing Library will take your items that you will no longer be wearing and redistribute them to those will will. They take donated bras …
Cleo Lizzie, my first new bra of the year
My first new bra for the year is here. It is the Cleo Lizzie (a part of Panache). Ordering online is always a trial and error thing, but when you wear an odd size it is a chance you have to take. Unfortunately for me it was a risk that did not quite work out. …
