Comment on Victoria’s Secret “Miraculous” Bra – Does it Really Give a 2 Cup Size Increase? by robyne

Love Tomima’s blog. Very informative and direct. I just purchased this bra … and then returned it. Not generous in fit, and it made my breasts appear like two big rocks. BTW, I am a DD, so ladies with large breasts will not be happy with this bra. Excessively padded.

Can you recommend a replacement for the Olga Sheer Tapestry Full Figure Minimizer Bra 35984? Olga has stopped making this great breat bra, and it’s really about the only one I like!

One caveat: it’s a “British” survey; notoriously the worst lovers in Europe, lol. I would like to see a French or Italian survey. From this male’s prespective, reds are great and so are blues, greens, golds and prints. Black is my favorite every day color.

Do you have some good suggestions for seamed bras? I used to have some by Goddess that I loved, but I have lost some weight, and they don’t seem to have any in my new size (32F-FF).

After reading your post, I decided to search for seamed bras, but I noticed there was no style category for seamed bras on the site. Can you make one?

Hi Tomima! I was wondering what your opinion of the new jock styles were for men. Do you think men would wear these sexy styles as opposed to the plain jane white jock us women have seen (and perhaps complained about ?? And do you know if each jock offers the same support level or is that what’s sacrificed for looks? Thanks!

Comment on Do You Wear Matching Bras and Panties? by Tired of Beige, Black, and White

Tired of Beige, Black, and White — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 01:58:43 +0000

Seeing this blog post a bit late, but compelled to comment anyways – yes, my bras and panties must always match! Even though barely anyone sees me undressed, I simply feel more together when wearing sets – especially on days where I’m wearing loungewear and heading to the grocer’s. Every time I buy a bra, I buy two pairs of panties to go with, much like your mother.

I hate going into stores (hello, Kohl’s!) and finding an array of bras in beautiful colors, but no matching panties! Stores that have the panties several aisles over is similarly perturbing: I have to drag an armful of bras over to the undies section just to see if they match – and they usually don’t! This also causes me to stay away from certain brands, which shall remain nameless.

Comment on Elomi Bras – Beautiful Bras for the Fuller Figure by stacy

I’m stumped when it comes to fit and what’s actually available out there. I’m 5 feet tall and wear a 32dddd/g. It is hard to find bras of that size that are also short girl friendly. Meaning, 98% seem to have straps that are too wide for my frame. I’ve had the best luck in the past when the straps are located basically in line with the nipples, but in larger sizes that’s hard to find. What would you suggest? I’ve tried most of your top sellers in my size and all are too wide set. I can see how they would work for someone taller than myself though.

Hello Stacy – I appreciate your comment. You are not alone. Women who are petite in stature yet full busted find that the bra is many times too much for their frame. On HerRoom, we have a “plus-size petites” category. We have asked every one of our manufacturers to please identify which of their styles work best on a shorter framed woman. These styles are in this department. Off the top of my head, I would think Panache would be a great brand for you.
