Ya know wot's funny? The fact that people, me included, have all of a sudden felt the need to show everybody their underwear (AKA their friends list.)

I wonder if that in itself speaks to our insecurities. "Look - I trust you ALL you're ALL my friends... SEE?? SEE?? Doesn't that make me friendly?!?!"

That's my thought for the morning.

"I'm a 38A. Damn the bra companies for assuming if you're big enough to be a 38, you must have C cups. I can't find ANYTHING fun in my size for a bra. *ptu put* I spit on Wonder Bra and the rest of the regime."

SISTER!!!!!!!!

I'm approaching 38AA myself, but with the layoff I'll probably gain enough fat to make 38A fit again.

I really like those underwire bras with the see-through stretchy mesh cups. They're not terribly durable, but the mesh is stretchy enough that I can buy a size that fits *around* my breasts (maybe you don't share this issue, but my breasts are a size B or C width, and A or AA fullness, so an A cup is really uncomfortable because it doesn't cover the whole breast, but a B or C cup has all this maddening empty space), and the mesh "unstretches" or something and... well, I think you've figured out what I'm trying to say here. They fit. They look good. I likes them.

yes, yes - I've got one of those on now! Sadly, they don't come in anything other than white or granny off-white. What I'd do to find a decent stretchy cup bra in a pink or turquoise or (god forbid) a floral patern - one with enough resiliency to handle the laundry every once in a while.

Anything lacy, or - god forbid - a foam-ish cup and you're just talking dead air in there.

I'm starting to see them in colors here... and often (oh happy day) on the clearance rack, because evidently those with more standard *ahem* racks themselves don't need such flimsy little bras.

I wonder if t-shirt material would be stretchy enough? I'd be really tempted to try making my own, but I think that sewing around an underwire would be just a bit beyond my capacity.
