Shopping for clothing when you’re curvy can be tough. Figuring out what “type” of curvy you are according to the fashion industry can be even harder. How do you know when you are full busted or full-figured? Full busted and full-figured are used interchangeably in fashion articles and by brands, but knowing the difference between…
For far too long mastectomy lingerie has been focused on the utilitarian at the expense of fashion. It isn’t surprising, as designing for the particular needs of post-mastectomy women is no small task. It’s not as simple as adding a pocketed lining to hold a breast form (prosthesis) and calling it a day. Post-surgical bodies…

Exceptional craftsmanship, beautiful materials, and fashion forward design all…
Holiday party season is upon us, which means it’s time to find a great party outfit (or two!) to stun the crowds. Finding regular clothing can be hard enough, so full-bust party dresses can seem nearly impossible to source. Today I’m rounding up some of my favorite party dresses for the season and where you…
If you follow me on social media, you might have seen a recent post about a stand-up comedy show I did at The Comedy Store. Maybe you thought to yourself: Huh? Why am I tackling stand-up? I’m not sure either, but maybe I’ll have an answer by the end of this post. Like everything else, it’s…
As a full bust lingerie customer, it’s easy to feel like your lingerie options boil down to full coverage bras in weird colors. However, there is a lot more out there – and the holiday season is the perfect time to treat yourself and explore options. Lots of companies are now releasing beautiful full bust…
