I hadn’t worn a Freya Active Sports Bra in a number of years, and certainly not since Panache released their magnificent sports bra. I always wear sports bras to the gym, and lately I’ve been wearing one to S Factor classes as well. Bras, even reasonably-priced ones, will really eat into a gal’s budget, and […] Read more…
I included this in my Full-Bust Holiday picks, and about three days later realized I really, really, really wanted it. I “needed” a new black lace bra, I wanted a new balconette bra that gave a rounded shape and good support, and I adored the bright kelly/emerald green. So Christmas present to me! Materials/Quality: This […] Read more…
More festive lingerie, holiday-or-otherwise! Today’s picks are for customers shopping in the full-figure market. For purposes of this post, I’ve chosen items available in at least band sizes 36-42 and at least DD cups, although some of the options are available in additional sizes. Oh. Yeah, actually, my first pick isn’t even bra-sized. Yikes. Sorry […] Read more…

As the first few seasons […] Read more…
Bravissimo, light of my life, the store that taught me about full-bust sizing and that pretty bras over a D-cup exist, recently introduced the first ever basque that goes up to a (UK) K-cup. The Lola Luxe Basque appeared for the first time last winter in a pretty black/teal colorway (select sizes still available) to […] Read more…
I had no idea how much I’d love this thing. None at all. I’ve flirted with built-in bra camisole tops in the past, but that was many, many cup sizes ago. I understand the appeal: you can wear a thin-strapped camisole without showing off your bra straps, yet still feel perfectly supported. I know some people really, […] Read more…
I’ve been a bit anxious lately, but a series of very good, very small, very sweet things just happened. New shoes for upcoming business trip: Cat: Discovering kind friends left the bottle of sloe gin in my freezer Wednesday night: Terrible Cat: Being interviewed by Invest in Your Chest, whose blog is just awesome: After […] Read more…
