Thanks, all. I don't have the bust area amplitude, so maybe that will mitigate short waisting a bit. I think I need to order one to try. I mean, it's the only way to find out, right? Thanks, all. Now, finding a tape measure might be an issue.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just got a Craigslist item out the door at my asking price! Woo! Now to get the remaining two pieces out of here.

Unexpected moving conundrum--packing my tiaras. Oooh, the box my bobbin lace is stored in is a good size.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I currently only have the motivation to catch up here and listen to the Nascar race.
But! I've read three books in the last ten days. I'd completely fallen out of reading actual books (also got out of a pretty deep depression less than two weeks ago) and forgotten how much I loved curling up with a paperback.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I find their deep V-necks very deep, almost to the point of a misdemeanor.
I have this problem with a lot of clothes, because I like a v-neck but I have the boob amplitude. My favorite solution is from a company called Halftee. They make tank and sleeved shirts that stop at a soft underbust band, out of lightweight fabric or lace, that are meant to provide cleavage and/or arm coverage for tops that are too revealing. They're less bulky and warm than wearing a t-shirt or camisole underneath. In case anyone wants to try that out.

I have had good luck with eShakti for cotton knits- the broadcloth ones I have bust issues as well. The only problem I have had is that they finish the cap knit sleeves with a woven ribbon, so the edges of the sleeves don't stretch. If you have plus size arms, this can be a problem. They just fit me, but I have proportionately small arms, back and shoulders for a size 20.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Hi, Cass! I'm trying to get back in the habit of reading actual books as well. I haven't done much of that since early in my pregnancy. Mostly magazines, newspapers, and online articles.

Our wings are not tired.
forgotten how much I loved curling up with a paperback.
It is taking me forever to get through a single novel anymore. And my list of things to read is really long. I've developed a bad habit of not reading until I go to bed after working all day, and interneting, and watching tv, and socializing with family. So I get to bed between 9-10 PM all nice and comfy with my nook and before I know it I keep dropping it as I fall asleep. This needs to change.

Oh Brenda, all kinds of Dad~ma headed your way. I hope they find the source of the deficiency quickly.
