I mean, if her bra was not letting her breathe properly, then it was not sized right.
Exactly. And I still hold that the innovative "x" shaped straps were sitting waaaaay too high.
(It is a, ahem, big issue for me, since I wear a 34G bra.)
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Because books.

That's what it looked like to me, too. And honestly, I know she said the fit was supposed to be more natural, but even the mannequin looked saggy. If I wanted to look like that, I'd skip the bra, frankly.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I know the woman who makes the skirts but I was thinking it was pretty expensive. But then, I've never had hand made clothes before. Her stuff is extremely well made, though--she wears her own stuff and it holds up.
The outfit I wore to Prom, each piece was $40, give or take $10 (the overdress was more, the underdress was less). You can probably get more use out of that skirt, so long as you don't mind the handwash issue.

Totally agree on both the straps and the mannequin boobage.

Daniel just called. He's headed home over roads that have had freezing rain/mist drifting down onto them all day, after having chipped a sheet of ice 1/2 inch thick off the van.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
(Yes. I Have Views about undergarments.)
I like your views and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
I have found several comfortable underwire bras that look great, and I love them.
My mom is totally pancake flat. She has big loathing for underwire bras, and no real use for them. And my whole adolescence she bad-mouthed underwire bras to me (her NOT-pancake-flat daughter).
College rolls around, and I decide that I'm an adult, and I need a "pretty bra." So my roommates and I go to Vicki's Secret, and the sales associate fits me -- a 34 or 36 B at the time, oh how I miss it -- with an underwire bra. When she brought it to the fitting room, I was all "No way! Underwire bras SUCK!"
And then I tried it on.
Ever since then, all my bras (except for sports bras) have been underwire. LOVE them.
And I have to have a bra with some kind of light padding because other wise, well, my nipples show through. Which means I can't wear the pretty balconette bras at Lane Bryant.
Uh, you can buy them and wear them on occasions that you might not be wearing a shirt over them. IJS.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I practically lived on those in Mexico City so I'd call them actual Mexican.
From what I understand, tortas are way more common than the Americanized burrito down Mexico way.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'd end up paying $35-40 in a store somewhere, I know. So it doesn't seem horrendously expensive, especially if you can vouch for the workmanship.
Stay safe, Daniel! Our piles of snow are now covered with a glistening glaze of ice.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I can haz warmth! I'm presently in Abu Dhabi airport en route back to Bangkok. Yay!
Again, what do I know about bra's?
Oh, so many many times I have bitten my tongue rather than appear rude, but - Omnis, mate, please stop hurting the apostrophe. It is a hard-working and elegant little punctuation mark, and shoving it haphazardly into random plurals makes the Baby Jesus cry.
