Growing up, I always had this really wide back but not very big boobs. So if my mom took me to Vicky's to look for bras for the both of us, it was hysterical that even at my thinnest, I could BARELY fit into a 36B (normally a 38, but 38Bs were harder to find years ago, so I settled. Pinched my back and I barely had enough for the cups) and my mom was stuck ordering out of the catalog because she was a 32DD. Insanity. She's now older and a little bit bigger, so she can manage a 34, but is up to a DDD. She's always hated her boobs. I got mine after having my daughter, so I don't mind wearing a 40D even though I should be more like a 42D. <br /><br />My friend Paul loves to shop in Lane Bryant for his girlfriend (she's what he describes as "full figured" since he's yet another member of the "I'm the skinny, supportive, loving boyfriend" club) I personally will look at a top in their front window, marvel at how they occasionally get something cute - stare blankly at the $69.99 price tag they want for the flimsy piece of fabric - and then move on and just buy more t-shirts for $10 a pop at Target. That's just how I roll.

I can't stomach spending $40 on a shirt, especially when the material is really thin and shows every lump, or super dressy and not appropriate for everyday. I sooo can not wait to be able to fit into VS bras. Congrats on the wl, I noticed your ticker had moved.

LB's tops are getting so out there- I work in an office, not a disco people! And why in gods name would I, at a size 20, 44H bra size, want my wardrobe to mostly consist of shiny, embellished halter tops?Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12120886921730599132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746868749311455784.post-78133062781110655132009-08-02T17:44:25.952-05:002009-08-02T17:44:25.952-05:00I don't know why but I have never shopped ther...I don't know why but I have never shopped there. I managed to get my jeans in 20w and 22w at target and I refused to go elsewhere.<br /><br />You said in Levi's you're a 20w, so I was wondering if you would post your measurements?? I saw someone elses the other day, she's in an 18 and I'm in a 20, we are the same inches. So it's fun to see how people stackk up on the measuring tape and if I should be buying a diff brand to get into that 18. B/c I sure as hell will!!!Liz - Lizzle - Libby Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035562478549837609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746868749311455784.post-71208742999175392412009-08-02T16:49:21.998-05:002009-08-02T16:49:21.998-05:00Amy - I'd offer you my size 4 blues... they ar...Amy - I'd offer you my size 4 blues... they are regular length though. However, if you want a pair, holla! They are yours. And I agree - I have a Hate-Hate and occassionally love relationship with LB.

And Kathi I agree the tops there are way to embellished for me to wear to work. <br />Back in the day I only bought VS bras - I can't remember the style but they were satin and had wide straps- they really held the girls up. Hopefully I can get back in their sizes soon.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07045822533798781579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746868749311455784.post-89535536125765892902009-08-02T14:00:53.791-05:002009-08-02T14:00:53.791-05:00Good for you, Steve enjoys going bra shopping, enu...Good for you, Steve enjoys going bra shopping, enuff said!:) Too bad about LB, they are my current go-to store, but I'm also starting to have issues with them. Last week my daughter and I went and there were NO tops appropriate for work to match my two good pairs of pants. and, NO clearance, just this bullcrap area for 'upcoming season' clothing. Just crap. I was pissed and didn't buy anything. <br />I can buy any lotion I want in VS and it fits..that's all!!Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15346296690944313028noreply@blogger.com
