Hello, gentle readers, and welcome to what might be the most niche-y blog in the internet. I was diagnosed as a size 32DD bra size ten years ago (when I was getting fitted for my bridal lingerie, incidentally). It's a fairly unique bra size and if you're a 32DD (or one of the other unusual sizes), you know it can be pretty hard to find bras, swimsuits, even clothes. Fun tank tops and strappy tops, that look super-cute on your smaller-busted friends, make you look like you should be wrapped around a pole with some dollar bills sticking out of your cleavage. Sports bras resemble straight jackets, and don't get me started on swimwear! I've noticed that I have a head-slapping "duh!" moment at least once every two months when it comes to learning new ways to dress my curves. I figured I'd start a blog to share them with other with similar conditions to mine (plus I'll be able to remember them. : )
I should probably point out that 32DD is my natural bust size. I'm sure there are some ladies out there who have done this to themselves with the help of cosmetic surgery; personally I would caution against it, for all the many reasons I'll be telling you about. It really does limit your options for dressing. However, I love my girls, a genetic gift from my mother's side of the family, and though I might complain every once in a while, I wouldn't trade them (neither would my husband) for a more common size any day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this blog. Seriously. Thank you. I am in the process of re-doing my wardrobe after dressing myself incorrectly, and being in denial of my breast size, for about 10 years. Crew necks are out, scoop and v-necks are in. Looking forward to reading more!
