Over the shoulder boulder holder

I was very pleased to discover that Title Nine has a store in Palo Alto. They don't carry my size (no one within a couple thousand miles carries my size) but they have something close.

I walked out with a 32DDD - yes, three Ds - in something that I am guessing runs small. I also ordered a 32DD for those days when I might want to descend a stairway while carrying something in my hands. You curvy ladies know what I mean, I'm sure.

One advantage of shopping at a sports store: you get an undergarment that does something more than just make lines on your shoulders.

Dear Victoria's Secret,

I will never darken your door again. I'm sure your feeling of relief at that statement is second only to mine.

Sincerely,
Someone crass enough to have an actual chest

Interesting about Victoria's Secret, both my daughter Amanda and rivka buy bras there, and they're both pretty well endowed. I wonder if there's regional variation?

I remember some of your earlier adventures in bra buying. Glad you found a good one. Does it allow you to breathe?

I'm guessing that they probably have ribcages. 32 is rough. Still, I don't think I've seen any triple-D cups at VS, even on the gargantuan band sizes. Maybe regional variation is the answer.

I definitely took a nice big deep breath when I took the thing off. I suspect, though, that anything that lets me breathe will let me jiggle. I'm ready to try the other side of that divide for a while.

They're both 36 DDs, though Rivka went to a larger cup for a while after Alex was born. But she was wearing nursing bras then.

As for you... I'm just sorry something so lovely is such a pain for you.

Yeah, 36DD is not as hard to find as 32DD. I should amend my reason for not darkening Victoria's Secret's door. :-)

Thank you for the compliment! Me, I just wish I could leave 'em at home most of the time. (Hot date tonight -- now where'd I put those things? I didn't leave them in my locker at the gym again, did I?)

They're detachable (http://www.anysonglyrics.com/lyrics/k/kingmissile/detatchablepenis.htm), you see.

That's EXACTLY the song I was thinking of when I wrote that! :-)

I cannot even find a 40D in VS stores--most only carry up to 38's. Those of us 40 or above can't shop there.

Wow. 32B to 38DD is really a rather narrow range. Neither you nor I are strikingly "unusual looking" in a crowd of random people on the street, yet we're both outside that range. I'm surprised they can do as well as they do within those limitations.

While they (VS) appear to carry up to a 40DD online, I have not been able to find a 40D in stores around here. Since I wear between a 40D and 42 D, this is an issue and I have since given up shopping there for anything other than underwear bottoms.

They do not - carry those sizes in the store. I used to work for VS - Bras of anything larger than a 38 -DD would require them to redesign the Bra room.

I don't have a Fredricks store anywhere near me - but I'm curious is they sell the Bigger, sexy sizes in the store or not?

[cassidyrose.livejournal.com]

I believe Fredricks carries up to a 44 in the stores, with cup sizes up to E or F in stores.
