Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I also can't figure out how to make blouses accommodate my boobs
Just get the shirt that big, and get darts put in? I've found the cotton knit still forgiving enough for me--and I don't mind if they're too big around the waist, since they're easy to belt--not bulky.
I have two dresses that fit me in the bust still, and are short and empire-waisted, so I can still wear them. My other dresses look ridonkulous.
My wedding dress, which is a hot pink cocktail gown, I will have re-tailored one day, but I will live this summer in sarongs and tanks.
Sarongs always fit. I would LOVE a formal sari in turquoise and silver.
Luckily, Old Navy's Flirt cut works well on my body. My friend F is a 14 in the booty and a 10 in the waist, 8 on top. She has a problem finding pants & skirts.
Thanks for the Siri link, Tom. That's just Malkovich being Malkovich.
Wow, tommy, that's a neat photo. I think the SO has photos of that level of generation, but I don't.
Jesse, what was wrong with the dress? It might fit me...or might not...but if it DID fit, I think it would look good on me.
In crazy family news, my cousin, who is four years younger than me (37) is now a grandmother. She was a mom at 16. Five kids. *shudder*
Wow. Eesh.
I think we all need to be back in the times of custom-made clothes.
I keep saying I learned to alter clothes out of self-defense, because there is no way anything off the rack fits my bust-to-waist ratio. Add in my petticoats, and it's just ridiculous.
Jilli! Speaking of your waist..your corset got sent back to me, insufficient postage, despite my having weighed it. I will re-send it as soon as I get my paycheck from editing, ok?
That dress is lovely.
I think of myself as a size 8 now, although given how random size are, the clothes in my closet range from 6 to 12. And I'm realizing there are dresses and skirts I should get rid of, they just don't fit and just don't see myself losing the weight necessary to fit in them again.

22/25! And one of the ones I got wrong was me misreading the question. And the other two were from alternate timelines.
