FWIW, a longline bullet bra will usually do just as well to fit you into vintage dresses as a regular bullet bra and a girdle, and they're not impossible to find on eBay. Plus, a fair number of vintage longlines have some light boning in the body but no underwires in the bust. The lack of underwire is just sheerly blissful.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ah, but if I did that, then I might discover that they STILL don't fit, and that would never do!
Question: If I go back to my hairdresser to get my cut fixed, do I tip her again?

Well, even if you tried it and the dresses still didn't fit, at least you'd still have a lovely non-underwire yet perkytastic bra. And you could sell the vintage dresses to buy more bras.
Plus, I could live vicariously through you since it'll be approximately forever before I can get back into mine (which I frequently wore under regular non-vintage stuff, it was that comfy).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anything that fits in the waist is too big in the chest, because I'm not wearing a girdle and a bullet bra.
Man, I'm suited for vintage in a way they never could have predicted...actually, my problem is more often that the chest is too small, and since the Incredible Hulking incident, I have to add on extra measurement for actually moving to anything that has sleeves.

Even in vintage, my problem has always been fitting the boobs and butt.
If they fit, the waist bags.

I'd have to find the perfect candidate before figuring out new underwear, and that hasn't happened yet, so I'll just keep buying dresses that fit!

What is even happening?
Apropos of being a busy-body: JZ, you know underwires are a no-no post partum (and maybe even at the end of pregnancy--I disremember), right?

Plei, you have an Impressive Bosom, which I am sorely lacking. Well, not that sore. But still, lacking.

Someone's been at the bottle.
You know, Hex could win me over a little bit by explaining their rules of the supernatural a little better, especially re ghosts. It just doesn't make sense. Also, their usage of the term seraph seems a little random. Well, not that their nephilim are textbook either.
Still, makes the Whedonverse look like well-researched and totally consistent worldbuilding. And they've not even had ten episodes in which to achieve it.
