I rarely buy matching sets, but I do look to coordinate colors. It's not so hard. Most lingerie comes in white, black, brown and various shades of tan. Coordinating my underwear makes me feel beautiful and confident. It makes me stand up straighter. However I may be a bit OCD about this, lol! I love to match!

]]> Comment on Sagging Breasts - Does Wearing a Bra Prevent This? by MJC http://www.tomima.com/2009/06/19/sagging-breasts-does-wearing-a-bra-prevent-this/comment-page-1/#comment-4767 MJC Tue, 23 Jun 2009 06:48:42 +0000 http://www.tomima.com/?p=283#comment-4767 Dear Tomima, I love your blog and website. Thanks for providing so much education, you helped me determine my correct bra size(s). And yes, I have ordered from HerRoom. Now, to comment on your topic: I'm 51 and not saggy. I have always worn a bra, plus I have always exercised and maintained a strong, limber back. So I think bras help but so does exercise. About sports bras, I HATE them. They are just about the ugliest thing I can imagine and don't feel good. I think this category has a loooong way to go. Yet I see tremendous opportunity for some manufacturer who gets it right. I prefer a full-coverage bra with good support for my activities: walking my dogs, yoga, and dance classes. Dear Tomima, I love your blog and website.

I have a 27" ribcage and wear a 28C. In the brands I wear it doesn't even come close to being too tight. A 32A was madly uncomfortable, slid all around and the underwires were too small. I think you should give some thought to overhauling your measurement system. Other than this issue, I love the site and blog.

I just don't feel right wearing say, a dark colored bra with a light shaded top..and the same with skirts and panties, never a dark colored pantie with a light shaded skirt or dress. I'm uncomfortable thinking I'm being looked at, and people can tell. Should i not be able to match I make sure what I wear outside covers my mistakes!! H.

I told the sales associate that my wife is fuller on top and she sent me to the plus size dept. My wife was furious, she’s a size 12 and she accused me of thinking that she was a fatty. I’ve visited Victoria’s Secret.com, and a website called Fredrick’s of Hollywood. Does anyone know of any other sites that sell classy lingerie? Hello John - You found my blog but not my website?

Now, this wonderful design has been discontinued by Maidenform. If anyone is familiar with this bra, could you please recommend another similar bra? If only Maidenform would resume production, I'd buy a dozen or more, lol. Thanks, Olivia.
