The results of last week's poll are in - majority says that you'd like to be reading more bra reviews in general! I'll definitely be keeping this in mind for future posts; bra reviews have tended to fall by the wayside as most of my bras are purchased secondhand and thus are usually older models. However, I have a Tutti Rouge set on the lineup to review later this month, and I'll be making a

Life lately has made it pretty difficult for me to adhere to a consistent posting schedule, but I do have quite a few ideas and write-ups that I've had floating around lately. Since I have trouble picking something and sticking to it when I'm stressed and/or busy (I feel like I have to finish ALL THE THINGS at once), I figured I'd ask you, lovely readers, what would YOU like to be reading about

This week, a group of bra bloggers - all of us with various viewpoints and backgrounds - are sharing our perspectives on the subject of modesty in the series The Modesty Panel. The topic of "modesty" is one of those interesting but tough to write about subjects, and one that the group of us all wanted to write about "someday". Well, "someday" is this week!

While I procrastinate on finishing up a few more interesting posts (they're in the works, I promise!), I figured I'd post up a short update/plug for the new Bra Band Project Website for your reading leisure. For those who don't yet know what the BBP is, here's the rundown from the site - "This site aims to raise awareness about what properly-fitting bra sizes look like in "real life", as well

It's rare that I actually purchase a brand-new bra, but when The Big Bra Bar announced that they were having a massive clear-out sale, I jumped at the chance to snag a 28H Ewa Michalak Toffik bra in the CH style. Normally this bra would be a custom order for me through Ewa Michalak (base bra price + custom size fee + Paypal fees + shipping from Poland would come out to at least $60), but the

Today's guest post is by the lovely Tatiana of DrivenbyTatiana. After seeing the recent post on Musings on Bra Blogging, she decided to share her thoughts on what she thinks is needed in the Bra Blogging world. As per my usual relationship with the internet, I stumbled into lingerie blogging clicking random links that led to one site after another, when I noticed a very peculiar theme: everyone

Well, I'm pleased to finally reveal the mysterious "project" that I've been preoccupied with recently: The [Expanded] Bra Band Project Website! Yup, you read right! The Bra Band Project, formerly just a Flickr album that showed examples of women who wear bra sizes in 24-30 bands, is now a full-on website, where users of all band sizes can submit their own properly-fitted photos! The hope

For the third item of my most recent Urkye order, I decided to get something a bit more casual and went for the recently-released Twister shirt in morski (sea). List Price: 75zl ($23.03) Material: 92% cotton, 8% elastane Size: 36oo/ooo Twister 36oo/ooo It was a little hard to get the color of the shirt to show up in pictures - the real color is a tad lighter/brighter than is shown.

I snapped up a few Urkye shirts recently, so it's time for another review! The two shirts I'm focusing on reviewing today are both button up/dress shirts. I'm sure many of you can sympathize when I say that I can never find button-up shirts in stores that fit well. They either a) gape in the buttons (if they button up at all), or b) button over the bust, but are so huge everywhere else that

Sorry for neglecting you, my lovely readers.... I've been working on a rather exciting project, and hopefully you'll be seeing more about that soon! For the moment, a bit of musing... I've been thinking lately how I've been seeing a number of great new bra blogs crop up, as well as watching older ones flourish and grow (I mean, just look at this awesome list!). There are so many sizes, shapes,

I've been feeling pretty sick and uninspired this week (allergy headaches tend to do that), but since I've been on a roll with posting on Fridays, here's a quick little miscellany of Welsh bra-related links in honor of St. David's Day - a national holiday on March 1 in Wales, my "country of origin"!

Or, you know what your approximate size is, but you want to learn more about sizing, bra care, and styles/brands. Feeling lost? Have no fear!

This week's roundup is a collection of bra bloggers who've blogged about their experiences during pregnancy (posts include nursing/maternity bra and clothing reviews, tips on bra fitting while pregnant and nursing, discussion about body/breast changes, and more!). It can be tough finding good bra-related pregnancy resources if you don't know where to look, so hopefully this will be a helpful

It's time for another bra blogger roundup! This time, I'm focusing on bra bloggers who wear and review bras on the higher end of the band spectrum. To start off with, I want to say that the term "larger band", just like "smaller bust", is a fairly fluid one. What really makes someone "smaller busted", or "larger banded", or "larger busted", or "plus sized", anyway? It's like the "What are

Happy February! This month, made-to-measure lingerie is on my mind... so be expecting some related posts in the (hopefully) near future! Today, though, I'm giving some attention to one of the more underrepresented groups of online bloggers - the "smaller busted". I know "small bust" is a rather relative term, but it tends to be difficult finding blogs that cater to, say, sub E or F cups (of any

It's time for the first official post of 2013 (and one I'm quite excited about, I might add)! Let's talk about shirts for a moment. V-neck and lower-cut tops tend to be the most flattering for my figure (and busty figures in general), but unless I feel like giving people quite an eyeful in terms of cleavage (and/or showing off part of my bra), I have to make constant use of layering.

This holiday season, a little group of us U.S.-based lingerie bloggers decided to get a Secret Santa gift exchange together. The only stipulations were that the gift cost up to $10 and that it be handmade - endless possibilities!  My mystery package arrived a couple of days ago in the mail... (they smell amazing!) And found I had received these cute jars - one an apple-scented candle, and

Yikes, this time of year is definitely busy (and full of peppermint candy... yum)! I haven't had as much time as I'd like to post, but I have several review and guest posts on the lineup - so stay tuned :) With that in mind, here's a quick list of the top few lingerie items that I've been lusting over this Holiday season.

I've been in need of some more casual (yet still nice-looking and well-fitting) tops, and thus decided to place another Urkye order at the beginning of the month.

I don't often get too personal or veer off the subject of bras/boobs/clothing in this blog, but this 50-questions list has been making rounds in the blogger world after FussyBusty started it off (and SweetNothings, UndieGamer, A Sophisticated Pair, and Miss Underpinnings followed

I know from experience that finding comfy loungewear, nighties/nightgowns, sleepwear, and camis (basically, you name it) for busty women can be a difficult (if not impossible) task. I'm more of a wear-a-tshirt to bed kind of girl, but this is mostly due to lack of better options. So when I found out about new company Real Girls Lingerie, I was definitely intrigued!

This is a bit of a continuation of my last post on why I shop for clothing online. I've actually been shopping for bras online for far longer than I have clothing (no surprise!) for several reasons - and I think that nearly all of my reasons for choosing to buy my bras online can apply to most others. Choices Available I'll admit, what first drove me to shop for bras online was sheer necessity,
