• after it got removed once on reddit, someone else posted it AGAIN and it had to be removed. i have no idea how many people ended up phished, but i hope not many. its especially dangerous when one person vouches for it, because then others feel safe to blindy go forward. this sucks guys, be careful!

• The survey stops working for me after the "have you been fitted for a bra" question.

• Ulalume it was originally posted on reddit, and determined to most likely be a spam mail because at the end it requires you to give an email for a $25 gift card, which is not something VS does. im sure the posters had the best intentions- but better to be safe!

Mimi Holliday has a new longline bra!

The Neapolitan Silk Chiffon Balcony Bra is actually a longline bra! WOW a longline in 28C - I'm so tempted to just buy it at full price before they run out...

• Definitely do that if you can afford it! Buying experimental pieces at full price is what allows companies to keep churning out styles like that.

• The panties are cute, too!

• Can anyone tell me how the HM fits compared to Sm? I tried Sm Burek but it was at least a cup size small. I read somewhere that Hm's run larger. I want to get it right and not have to do a bazillion exchanges.

• I had *just* decided that the HM model was the only bra that looked like it might fit me right and bemoaning that there were none available when that was put up on the website. I added it to my cart immediately but thankfully realized I do not have the money right now. I am hoping hoping *hoping* this means there will be more HM bras available because I really really need a short bra for my short boobs.

• Wow ! I love it !

  It looks like it can also work for making a bra that fit well but which you don't like the design into something better looking !

• ^Exactly!!
  I´ve been having problems with strapless bras. I don´t like and just CANNOT wear black / white / beige and none of the colourful options I´ve tried fits. This is a perfect solution for it! Why didn´t I think about it before?!

• There's an option to add a new brand if it is not on the list when you add the bra. If you don't know the model you could add it under unknown. And leave the wire measurements on 0.

• Okay, thank you!

• It appears there are no B and C cups for 28-bands... They start with 30-bands. A good first start, but I am disappointed I still cannot buy those super cute bras :(

• Those styles are for Autumn/Winter 2014, so I don't think they've been released yet.

Panache news

Few things:

Five pictures of the Cleo SS15 line, which looks like a black, beige, and pink/orange Cleo Marcie (6831) and I don't know about the other two.

According to Robynne from A Revelation in Fit (lingerie store in California), Panache is phasing out Masquerade with a line called Panache Black. Not sure if it's just another renaming or if it'll be a completely new line. Kinda sad about that because very few brands have me lust after almost all of their styles, and Masquerade is one of them.

• YES!! A beige Marcie! But it looks like the polka dots are a lighter colour? The fourth picture looks like a coral Lucy/Kali, and the fifth must be a Marcie/Melissa/Ellis sister. Shame about Masquerade, I was just getting into them :(

• The nude Cleo Marcie looks fantastic! I want it forever.

Ethically made lingerie

I think it's really important to remember the working conditions in which our lingerie comes from. Glad to know Freya made the list!

• That's really interesting. Freya don't fit me well but Fantasie Elodie is really pretty, just more expensive. I'll maybe reconsider that though if its made in uk. - shame about the poor fitting in Leia though.

• Oh, I have just looked at my Elodie and it says made in Indonesia.

• it would be so easy to add that to sex ed, only like another 10 minutes added to the lesson could help the problem
  we were given and shown how to use deodorant, pads, tampons, of all things, why not bras too.

• Wait..whaaatt??? They really decided that it was necessary to show the proper use of deodorant, pads, and tampons?

  My mom turned red and almost purple when I asked her to buy a certain brand that didn't have applicators - the tampax back then only expanded length-wise and it was uncomfortable in the higher absorbencies. You'd think I'd asked her to watch porn with me. Or something else totally inappropriate for a mother and daughter to do together.

  I think that a lot of women are sold on the idea of how much better they'll feel after getting a reduction, and this is by their doctors! Sure, most people on the planet could probably lose 10lbs, but a good bra might mean those 10lbs can go from other places on the body. I haven't known many women who have done the reduction surgery, and only one of them was in a size that I'd consider the surgery to be a good idea...She was in high school with a 28K and only 4'11", and her mom got even bigger after pregnancy so who knows what this poor girl would have had to deal with if not for the reduction. At least the doctor was sensible and didn't try and give her what they considered the "right size" for her body. None of the few others who have done it were at all happy with the outcome, one even got implants later because the doctor thought she should be a lot smaller and removed quite a bit.

  GET THE RIGHT SIZE BRA - no lengthy recovery after surgery under general anesthesia, don't have to worry about whether or not your insurance covers the cost, and embrace whatever genetics and God gave you. Oh, and let the lady in the store do her thing and help you put some bras on as you're trying to find your size - it's not like she's groping you like it's a lap dance at a strip club.

• Miss Underpinnings stated on her blog that it was coming out in November (http://www.missunderpinnings.com/2014/02/curve-ny-freya-autumnwinter-2014.html)

  However I do remember either her or maybe Erica of Sophisticated Pair talking about certain planned new designs being canceled. Not sure if the Icon was one of these.

• Not silly at all. That bra is gorgeous! I'd love a sort of lemon/lime green/yellow colorway of that.

The Lingerie Brand Guide is Finally Here!

My last three weeks has been spent scouring About pages, retail pages, and internet reviews to create my Lingerie Brand Guide! It's a collection of the top lingerie brands, highlighting their price points, size ranges, and a brief write-up about sizing recommendations and fit as well as a little bit about the company. Feel free to have a look-see, and tell me anything you'd like to see improved, some things I did well, general comments, and any brand or fit recommendations you'd like to see included! Thank you

35 bras

• I think Freya has gotten much snugger with their bands. I have an older Freya 28 band that fits with an extender on the second set of hooks and my hooks on the 2 set of hooks on the stretchy extender. When I tried on some Freya's the other day as well as my relatively new 32F deco, I found the 32s felt true to size, if a tad tight.

  Additionally, speaking for older Curvy Kate unpadded styles, I would say they are pretty good for full on top because the bottom part of the cup is not terribly projected. I would say they are deep in smaller sizes and shallower in larger sizes (though they've definitely improved with their recent collections). Their showgirl style bras are extremely shallow.

  Fantasie has medium projection and is good for even to full on bottom breasts in their 4 part full cups. In smaller sizes, their wires are narrow and tall.

  Claudette has extremely soft narrow wires, very loose bands, they run nearly 2 cup sizes small, and they seem to work best on full on bottom breasts.

  Elomi has wide deep bras that tend to work better on full on bottom breasts. I hear they have pretty sturdy wires and fabrics.

  Parfait runs tight in the band, about a full size small, they have shallow cups that work for even breasts, and they have tall wings.

  Masquerade runs tight in the band, tend to make cups that work well on full on top breasts, they have tall wires on the sides, and are somewhat shallow. They are luxury and have pretty soft materials.

  Wow, I didn't mean to type this much. I hope this was helpful! Feel free to add this, I want there to be as many resources out there as possible.

• Awesome observations, both of you! Thanks for the info!

• Sing it, sista! I wish they would make the effort that @Comexim has to reach the US market in a sustainable, accessible, reasonably priced way. I know it's a small, semi-custom business and Ewa has a perfect right to run it any way she wants, butwaaaaahhh *cries like spoiled child

• the motylowate is EDIBLE. But...I resisted on the grounds I like the summer time more, and I haven't tried the SM cut yet, so...summer time it was. Maybe I'll be able to get the motylowate later if the summer time works out...maybe... Now, to wait impatiently with crossed fingers for it to arrive... :)

  *just splurged on an EM order last night, but I'm telling myself it's not a splurge, since I used money I earned selling bras to do it*

Google Trusted Stores

Sorry about this being ever so slightly off topic, but money and legalese are not my strong suits. Barenecessities, herroom, and freshpair are all google trusted stores so I figure this is relevant. Many people complain about Herroom's customer service and it still got that badge (as well as the guarantee that comes with it, meaning that they ... offer $1000 protection on orders). Reading the terms and conditions on google, if you comply with the company's terms and the company doesn't, google will intervene? Am I misunderstanding something here?

This is just a heads up for anyone who's had issues with stores like this.

• I'd like to know the answer to this. I wonder what kind of leverage Google has over these vendors, though. How much of a threat is losing that Google Trusted Store label?

• I know that PayPay was useful in getting HerRoom to do what is right..after trying to work things out directly to no avail, I opened a paypal dispute )which HerRoom immediately "escalated" but Paypal saw the evidence and judged in my favor.
