I am, it's true. Also I like hardcore things that are v inconvenient/uncomfortable, I don't feel like I'm doing Accomplishment right unless it hurts somehow.
But they do have a zipper.

first look makes me wonder about the ethics of whether designers should really be cultivating a mentally ill street person "look"

Okay, I ordered the boots. So much for winter wellies, eh?
― It means why you gotta be a montague? (Laurel), Friday, 6 January 2012 18:03 (twelve years ago) link
I have very standard proportions, so most clothes fit me just right... I mean, except I am very large-chested, and wide-hipped.. and pretty much big everywhere. Still, I work it. Damn, gurl.
I also will wear just about anything these days, "flattering" be damned.

I procured a new fancy bra and panty set from Agent Provocateur on SALE and oh my god the bra size that fit best was a double D! A DOUBLE D!
Having worn the same model of Wacoal 34C bras for ages now, it now occurs to me that omg maybe I one of the 99% or whatever of women who has been wearing the wrong bra size. Me! Wrong size!
This would so explain the escaping left nipple problem, perhaps?
― quincie, Friday, 6 January 2012 20:35 (twelve years ago) link
Anyhow I am going to suck it up and try on a D bra and laugh as I do it because I spent so many years as the chair of the itty bitty titty committee.
― quincie, Friday, 6 January 2012 20:36 (twelve years ago) link
I know that ladies often wear the wrong size but how could you spend years not knowing you had a secret huge rack!? I want pretty lacy bras now. Would def not be a DD though. :(
― ☆★☆彡彡 (ENBB), Friday, 6 January 2012 20:37 (twelve years ago) link
a C is not itty bitty?
― La Lechera, Friday, 6 January 2012 20:38 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah a C is pretty big in my book!
― ☆★☆彡彡 (ENBB), Friday, 6 January 2012 20:39 (twelve years ago) link
No I agree that a C is not itty bitty, but throughout high school and much of college, I did not have a lot of boob going on. I hit a C sometime after grad school when I had a grown up job that paid enough for me to eat more delicious foodz.
I think the DD was an oddity of this particular fancy AP bra, but I will try the D in my boring old Wacoal model and see if that is better at keeping nipples in check!

Laurel - i am envious of your shoulders because that means you can fit into way more vintage dresses and tops than I can. I first learned to sew so that I could expand the shoulders and sleeves of vintage dresses to fit my peasantly dimensions.
― sarahel, Friday, 6 January 2012 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
I'm going to look at the AP website as soon as I get home.

Cup sizes vary w/ band size, so a 34 DD is a smaller cup than a 40 DD. So there's not really an objective C cup.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Friday, 6 January 2012 21:20 (twelve years ago) link
it's relative, right? like cup size is determined by how many inches larger the biggest boob part is vs the bust measurement
― sarahel, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:22 (twelve years ago) link
Aye.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Friday, 6 January 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link
You could totally be a DD and have been wearing the wrong size this entire time. A friend of mine just recently got measured at Nordstrom and should be wearing a 32DD when she's been wearing a 34C for years.
Oh, and I wear 38G so I HAVE to buy expensive bras.
― homosexual II, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:24 (twelve years ago) link
i guess i really have no idea what bra size i am
― La Lechera, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:25 (twelve years ago) link
have been thinking of going to nordstroms and getting properly measured since i followed the instructions on a link someone posted here that told me i was a 40DD, and i was like ???!?
― sarahel, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:26 (twelve years ago) link
Amanda, go to Nordstrom and get a free bra measurement
And get a bra there, and don't bother with Victoria's Secret or whatever. Because Wacoal and Chantelle are the best brands imo.
― homosexual II, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:26 (twelve years ago) link
Victoria's secret sucks imo.
― ☆★☆彡彡 (ENBB), Friday, 6 January 2012 21:27 (twelve years ago) link
Yup they're awful!
They don't even make my size, though, so it's not like I've worn one anytime in the recent past.
― homosexual II, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:28 (twelve years ago) link
I am only a B so they def make my size and I did wear them when I was younger before I realized that I hated all of them.
― ☆★☆彡彡 (ENBB), Friday, 6 January 2012 21:28 (twelve years ago) link
Hey, homo, we wear the same bra size!
Amanda there is a good place called Isabella on Armitage right off the Brown Line that is all about personalized fittings. I'll go with you some time. My bras are wearing out.

i was wondering recently what a "bralette" is
― La Lechera, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:30 (twelve years ago) link
also, OK!
xp is that an item of clothing or a snooki-like female?
― sarahel, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:31 (twelve years ago) link
i guess they're like soft cup bras? basically stretch bras?
― La Lechera, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:32 (twelve years ago) link
for natural 70s boob
what is natural 70s boob?
― sarahel, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:32 (twelve years ago) link
Not pointy like 50s boobs or high and tight like contemporary boobs.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Friday, 6 January 2012 21:35 (twelve years ago) link
Just kind of hanging out, being cool and not worrying too much boob. Or maybe disco boob.
lol yes
it's all of those, I think
― ☆★☆彡彡 (ENBB), Friday, 6 January 2012 21:36 (twelve years ago) link
a natural boob that moves
― La Lechera, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:37 (twelve years ago) link
these are all such great phrases
― sarahel, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:47 (twelve years ago) link
I read in a snooty book once that the pleasure of truly great bras is that they make the breasts look SMALLER, thereby making the wearer more demure on the outside but revealing a more generous physique to the intimate acquaintance. Snooty book might be full of shit, I haven't decided.
― It means why you gotta be a montague? (Laurel), Friday, 6 January 2012 22:07 (twelve years ago) link
Well I guess surprise big boobs like that are better than finding out someone was wearing a padded gel number and is much smaller in reality. Idk though, it probably is full of shit.
― ☆★☆彡彡 (ENBB), Friday, 6 January 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
Snooty book is full of shit even if just for the reason that for some folks, making our boobs look smaller would still result in giant looking boobs. Also subtext of stifling sexuality. It's like keeping your hair covered so you can surprise your man with its exotic beauty when you finally take off your bonnet.
But I cam here to post this important piece of information: http://inkdot.tumblr.com/post/7243925631/no-shit
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Friday, 6 January 2012 22:42 (twelve years ago) link
Like if I could somehow manage to squash my boobs into a bra two cups smaller, I would still have 38E cups boobs.
It kind of ties in with the whole "lose 10% of your body weight to be healthy!" trope. 10% less of me would still be a Whole Lotta Jenny. And if I weighed 10% less and went to a doc, that doc would tell me "lose 10% of your body weight to be healthy!"
Basically the message is that whatever you are, it's not right, and there's no way to get to a place where it will be right, because "right" is always one cup smaller or 10% less.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Friday, 6 January 2012 22:48 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah that's the icky subtext, the stifling/concealment thing and the withholding-from-self-to-give-to-partner thing.
― It means why you gotta be a montague? (Laurel), Friday, 6 January 2012 22:53 (twelve years ago) link
Also that small boobs are demure, so letting your tig ole bitties out into the world makes you a slut. Which is a pretty common narrative (see networks objecting to Lane Bryant lingerie commercial w/ plus size model, networks being just fine with that hideous Victoria's Secret runway model special).
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Friday, 6 January 2012 23:01 (twelve years ago) link
I hear a lot of criticisms of women with big tits out in the real world - specifically from other women. "Oh my god, look at her jugs. Would she put those away?" It makes me sad. Of course dudes love em. But that's beside the point.
