Another lil' update

Hi everybody
gosh, I miss the Bratabase community so much, you have no idea.

in terms of coming back - I see some light at the end of the tunnel, my recent additions were possible courtesy of my new boss ... who owns a lingerie shop!
WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT, RIGHT??! I got a job as a brafitter due to my knowledge I got ... from Bratabase community my wages are small ($350/month) but well, a girl has to manage. My boss lets me to try on various models and post pics here to have some 'real-deal' contact with bra community in Poland, so I am something like a double agent - scoring price reduction offers for my friends and promoting the business by posting pics and measurements.

Secondly - a huge sorry for all of you who wait for the bras I posted. I promise they are all posted, shipped, gone. I don't think I will be able to go on with my free bra program since I have no funds for that and my PayPal account is temporarily closed due to some kind of rigmarole with one of my fellow Bratabsers who withdrew the money she paid for a bra that did not reach her, even though she chose untracked shipping. Bummer, but what can I do.


Thirdly - there will be no more pics of me in here due to the fact that my eating disorder came back, and it came back like Ricky Martin with a holiday single.

Moreover, I will try and be a proactive community memebr (posting links to sales and such) but please try to remember that I am still very time-limited and please have that in mind. I will review my listings and try to reply to all messages I will get regarding them.


Much love
Scharminkeltje

• Thats so cool to get a job as a bra fitter! Take care of yourself first, always!

• thanks dbmamaz :)

  also: I just peeked into my recommendations and I am puzzled... I added a few popular bras in popular cuts that fit me and I have zero recommendations... you'd think that if a Freya Deco fits me the system would suggest at least one bra :/ anyone experiencing this?

Freya, Fantasie and Curvy Kate on Zulily

I need to quite logging into Zulily or reading their emails. Now they not only have Curvy Kate, but they have Freya and Fantasies too. There are also some Cleo and Parfait left in limited sizes. I really want some of the Freyas, some are really good prices others are just average. I need to get ... some referral credit built up so I don't have to spend much. Also if you want to avoid shipping costs register a card with Visa Checkout it's free and when you use it to check out on Zulily you get free shipping.

Also just added Claudette today I've never tried any of their bras, but the Sophia Icon seems to get somewhat bad reviews.

• I understand your pain on the email thing. I used to get their daily digest but I lost so much money LOL I finally had to unsubscribe and somehow I wasn't quite as broke all the time... Imagine that!

• I've managed to not go crazy buying anything. I bought some Parfaits when they were on there because they were under $15. Hoping the price drops on the Curvy Kates and the Freyas.

Reddit Bra Swap

I finally made an account on Reddit and have already sold 2 bras with a lot of interest in others. The site moves a lot faster and gets more response than listings on Bratabase, though many members are on Bratabase. If anyone is interested check it out. Here's a link to what I'm selling/swapping at the moment.

• I lurk on the Reddit but haven't joined. This makes it very tempting.

• I was a bit confused by Reddit while I was lurking, but joined and decided to post. The format takes some adjusting to, but it's really fast paced and there's more interest on there especially for swapping.

Just got the order for my bra grab bag from breakoutbras! Basically you get 4 bras for $60 or 2 bras for $40 and the owner Melissa picks out the bras for you based on your comments in the order. I asked for mainly padded plunge or balconnet bras for wide/shallow FoB and got: Cleo Jude (5846) , ... Cleo Molly (6476) , Cleo Juna Balconnet Bra (6461) , and Masquerade Medina Balconnet Bra (6591) ! Free shipping too! Definitely check this out if you're new to a size and trying to stock up. At worst you'll end up with some bras to add and some to resell/swap!

New Curvy Kate bras for SS2016 are pretty cool!

After being disappointed by the Curvy Kate AW2015 collection (colors just don't work for my skin tone), I decided to look at the SS2016, hoping there are some better selections. I also like the new styles: the Kitty, Cabaret, and the Atomic. I like how they use a lot of "preppy colors" for this season, especially Apple Green, Fuschia, and Melon for the Bardot, Princess, Wild Cat, Atomic, and the Daily Dream.

What I like most about the collection is the Vixen. Not only is it bright Fuschia, it seems to be a good shape for me too!

• Someone posted this before - i love that Wildcat too. But CK doesnt really work for me. I've tried on 3, and kept one which I only wear on my cycle cuz it slightly too big, but its still too wide. they all seem to be, even the less wide ones.

• actually, daily dream looks interesting? bigger than daily boost

Groupon, Who Knew? Parfait Madeleine Bras and Panties

I was trying to search for somewhere that might have the Parfait Bess in a larger size than a 32DD since there aren't any on ebay that will work for me. While searching came across a result for Groupon, I was intrigued so I clicked on it. They had a deal on some limited sizes of Parfait bras ... and panites, $14.95 for 2 bras and $9.95 for 2 panties. They have the colors already paired together, but it's a pretty good deal. The only band size available is a 30 and one set has D-G and the other just 30G (I guess I bought the last 30F).
I went ahead and ordered the 30F since it was the closest to a size I can wear in the color combo I wanted. This will be my first attempt at a 30F, which is what bra calculators usually put me in, but I've found good fits in some brands in smaller cups and have a hard time believing that size might fit. After my disappointment with Parfait's Bess and seeing I needed probably 2 cups up it's opened my eyes to trying out a 30F, and I do have a Parfait Charlotte in a 30E and while I like the fit of it and don't mind the cleavage it gives a 30F probably could work better. I'm hoping Madeleine has fits similar to Bess or Charlotte and that it works.
I'm done rambling now so here is the link if anyone is interested https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-parfait-madeleine-bras-and-panties-4 or go to groupon and search Parfait.

• Thanks. I just bought the black? And white bras. I went with 30dd so I hope they fit. Some people in the review say it runs big, but going by the measurement I think 30dd will fit.

• Thanks for the heads up! I ended up comparing the bra I'm wearing now to the measurements on Bratabase, and I'm excited to say I've ordered the black/white ones! Now heres hoping they fit, lol

Computers are getting real good at simulating boob bounce

Some of you may have seen Shock Absorber bounce-o-meter
http://www.shockabsorber.co.uk/bounce-o-meter/

Today, as I caught up on technology news, found this one about the last computer animation conference where they showcased new algorithms to simulate human flesh jiggling.
Of course, lots of attention put on to boob tissue and, I must say they're doing it pretty good.

There's lots of science trying to make sure we get real looking jiggle.

When they don't know how bras work

I saw this on Facebook. What came to my mind was how far someone can get with knowing little about how bras work.

If anything, I do believe that her designs might be a bit roomier on the bust area, but she's dead wrong that they are for "bigger boobs" in the C -DD cup range -__-

I'm sure some can fit maybe one or two cups bigger than that.

• This line in that Guardian article also made me laugh:

  " . . . modelling the very affordable clothes (around £50 for the bodysuit, £140 for the dress)."

  Uh, since when is that affordable? (For you US ladies, that translates to $77.85 & $217.98 USD). That's more than anyone I know will spend for a bodysuit or dress! When I clicked on the Reformation page, the first dress it showed was $328.00! Um, no. They make Pepperberry seem affordable now. ;)

• Their model Kathleen wears a bra 34D and is a size 2 or XS? More likely a 28FF or 30F. I was also raising eyebrows for the "affordable" BumbleBean . Those prices for viscose dresses?
