cause not all of us want to dress up as GOP icons...

Do VicSecret bras come in bigger sizes? I'm a D, nearly DD. Do they fit us girls?

:lol2:

I sympathise here girls. It is nigh impossible for me to find well-fitting clothes, and the ones that do are usually worth my monthly salary. I am a 32DD so small back and large boobies, size 8-10 (think that's a 6-8 to you) and I'm only 5'3 1/2. An impossible combination for most manufacturers, clothes are either too tight or too short or too long or designed for a stick insect. Tailor made's the way to go if you've got the cash, or make them yourself... hey that's an idea. I'm going to do a search on sewing patterns...

These make me 5'4", almost. http://cellar.org/attachment.php?att...tid=5816&stc=1

Interesting. Also 5'2. Target carries a Lee brand that offers short, not ass-out hanging, dark blue (gotta be dark) with a bit of bootcut.

And I must elate! I finally found a bra, besides a sport bra, that doesnt kill me. I can not take the underwire. It may look good for the first 5 minutes but then it hurts. My girls are soft and not designed to withstand this rigor, this germanic engineering. I hate underwire. Wires are not allowed in this area. The new discovery- a brand called "barely there". Hoist 'em up fine, smooth em over a bit, dont be itchy. Thats what I'm talkin bout.

I have to be in the mood to shop and I tend to go it alone and buy the same kinds of stuff. (how much black can you wear?) I sometimes feel that I have no idea what I really look like. It would be great to have someone who knows what looks good and how to pick stuff for your bod, and actually give you the straight dope. I would go with Trini and Susanna and have actually gotten some good ideas from their show. My deal is that I want to look good, but I'm not a girl, and I am not (yet) a matron, and I am still a low maintenance, comfort loving, tom-boy. Its finding some middleage ground, some way to pull it together.

Jeans never become too faded to wear. I buy them dark blue prewashed (unwashed shrinks a lot over the short run), and by the time I give them up, they're light blue. I give them up because they're frayed and/or torn and/or shrunken too much.

When your jeans reach that stage, post them on Ebay and get more than your money back. Some kid will think they are perfect :D

And back to the underwires, they definitely were designed by some Teutonic sado-masochist. And people used to complain about whalebone? I read a long article somewhere about how women's clothing, expecially bras, reflect the degree of repression extant in society. It seems that when Republicans are in power, women's mores are repressed and slammed into neat and useful little boxes while they have clothing that confines the body while still making them look like whores. (The first example that comes to mind is the pointy bras of the 50's under stretched-out sweaters which covered from chin to waist.) On the opposite end of the spectrum was the comfort movement of the 70's, which supposedly had the garment industry in a panic because the women wore what felt comfortable, in whatever length that suited them, and skipped the bras and stockings even at work. Wish I could remember where I saw that article, I'd like to write that magazine and point out that the hellish underwire bra became almost universal in the over-the-top economy of the 90's, with Democrats in office

Me, the best clothes I have are the ones my mother made for me. They fit perfectly, look good on my weird 15-yr-old body, and cost almost nothing. They last forever, too.:) I love my mother.

I have to admit that all of this talk about boobies has been really stimulating.

Mind OUT of the gutter, sir.

:headshake

My mind goes where it wants. I'm just the referee.

they do, but they usually don't carry them in the stores, or at least limited numbers in stock. You can order DD sizes on the internet. They usually have a fair number of 38DD in stock, just limited colors.

You know, it makes me wonder where this thread would be going if fashion designers were underwiring the MALE package nowdays... Oh wait! They already HAVE, they are just sewing the things under the skin instead of making you hang the full monty in a sling like we have to :eek:

Huzzah!
