• I find that wearing a tank underneath helps smooth things out with lace and stuff.

  I mean, I gave up caring long ago about seams, nipples showing (of course, that's misrepresenting myself seeing as my nipples are inverted like 99% of the time), and raised patterns through my shirt, so I might be the wrong person to ask.

• A beige coloured cami or tank will help mask the bright colour if you're wearing a light coloured top as well.

• Yeah, I saw those. It just that I'm an 18 year old girl with no job and after I bought all those bras & undies I have very limited money that I can spend :( So I was hoping there would be someone on here that had one they could sell me that's within my budget.

Would anyone be willing/able to talk about the fit similarities or differences between the BiuBiu Vichy and Modena shirts? I have a Vichy and am considering a Modena but am worried the cut will be more different than it appears.

• i want to know where youre shopping that has so many great pear clothes :P i can never get a dress large enough in the hips and small enough in the bust, or a swimsuit for that matter! my dresses always seem to want for a lady with a chest 3 times mine D=

  i hear your plight though on hourglassy stuff- ive got quite a few extreme hourglass friends and its miserable for them trying to find an off the rack fit. id say its more than manufactures intend clothes for *slight* hourglass, and anything more than a few inches differnece between bust/waist/hips measurements has to learn to tailor :(

• I feel ya girl! I'm a size 14 bust, 12 hips and size 10 waist, and I literally cannot find anything that works well on my body. If it fits in one place, it's either too small or too large in another. I don't know if dresses (top doesn't suffocate me but the rest of me is drowning in fabric) or trousers (if they fit over my hips, there's a 2-inch gap at the waistline - and I'm not even slim) are the worst.

  Ah, I miss the good old days a century ago when every item of clothing was tailored to a person's measurements. Better times...

• I actually just read a review of Corsets-Uk's former curvy corsets (Highly Curvatious)on Le Curvy Kitten's blog here:

  You might find it helpful.
  I know that in the corsets that I have made bust support all stems from proper gusseting or seam shaping at the top, a feat that I still have not mastered!

• And like bras, your size may vary. You're a 34 in Calvin Klein and 36 in Hugo Boss. ;)

Anyone want to buy some BiuBiu dresses? 36B/BB and BBB

I just received my order from BiuBiu, and sadly none of the items fit me. Checking here to see if anyone would like to take them off my hands before I send the clothes back for a refund. It's a long way back to Poland from here in Southeast Asia! The items are:

- Gomera Red, stretchy, 36B/BB. This fits me ... beautifully through the body, but it's SO LONG. I'm 5'2" and the hem is at mid-shin level on me. It runs large, so it'll probably fit you if you're normally a 38B/BB in BiuBiu. http://biubiu.pl/en/gomera-rowanberry.html

- Gomera Grey, Blue, and Green, all 36BBB, non-stretchy. I read that these ran large, so I sized down, but unfortunately I can't comment on the fit as I couldn't pull them on past my shoulders. http://biubiu.pl/en/gomera.html

Everything is new with tags, tried on once.

For sizing, I'm a 32FF, UK 10, US 8, Euro 38. The stretchy red dress would work for someone the same size as me (but taller). The non-stretchy ones would be good for someone one or two sizes smaller. Here's the BiuBiu size chart: http://biubiu.pl/webpage/en/przymierzalnia.html

I'm asking for USD$42 for the stretchy dress and USD$47 for the non-stretchy ones, not including shipping. Send me a message or reply if you're interested!

• Wait--can't you just shorten the hem of the red one that otherwise fits well? Is there something else going on that makes that too simplistic a solution? I would've thought that southeast Asis was not the best place to shop for alternative full bust clothing for a 32FF bust.

  I'm not trying to live your life for you! I really want to know, because I've had inconsistent results buying from Biubiu myself.

Woes of the Average-Sized

If anyone happens to know of someone trying to get rid of a 36B/BB Marsala dress from Biu Biu, I'd love it if you'd send me their way! Preferably the beige one but I may be able to get away with the blue one.

• Most Urkye tops are pretty stretchy! I'm around 44-31 and find 40ooo is the best size for me, and I can get away with 38ooo as long as the cups aren't lower cut.

• I ended up emailing Urkye to finalize my sizes and ended up choosing mainly 40oo/ooo with then measurements of 46 in bust and 31 in waist. They were great in telling what items run small and big.

  I have one 38oo/ooo even and I think it's the smallest I could go.

• From your page, it seems that you are an ex-small-breasted person, so maybe the issue might be that you're shopping at the same places that fit a shallow bust well. What my somewhat-bustier-but-otherwise-clone BFF does is shop selectively at stores with a more, um, middle-aged reputation. Basically stick to classic colors and shapes, and you won't actually look 55. It usually gets you in the general realm of fitting well enough so that a tailor can do the rest.

  I haven't shopped in Finland, so I have no idea what brands are available. Because I think I'm about one cup volume down from you, I can attest that American and British petites will almost certainly work for you. Southern European brands tend to scale height down more than Northern European ones, so if you have access to that, might give it a shot.

  As an American, almost ALL American brands carry petite, and you seem to be in the range of 2P or so. If you want to do online orders, if you let us know what type of jacket you are looking for, we can come up with some stuff for you to look at.

• Yup, going from youngish chains to more mature ditto has helped me find better fitting clothes in Sweden. The main reason is that the models are better suited for a busty figure (e.g. more v-necks) but the cuts (actual boob room around the arms) and the materials (just the right amount of stretch to allow for extra volume without bagging) work better too.

• I use only baby shampoo to wash both, and I do in a most gentle, delicates cycle (20 degrees celcius maximum), in a lingerie bag.

• My rule is that I handwash anything with lace, mesh, bows, wires, hooks, drawstrings, fine details. Baby shampoo and lingerie wash where bras are involved, but I'm not so careful when it's just panties and things. Everything else can go in the machine, but since I don't own one of those and need to use my mom-in-law's from time to time, I often end up hand washing machine washables as well, with whatever soap I have lying around.

• This is actually quite typical for 'garment sewing': those 'A', 'B', 'C', and 'D cups' do not correspond to bra cup sizing at all and should in that sense be taken with a grain of salt. The reason for this discrepancy is that traditionally underbust measurements rarely play a part in garment design as most garments don't have a defined underbust anyway, but instead a smoothly sweeping line from waist to apex, the exceptions obviously being empire and 'cupped' styles.

  In order to find your 'garment sewing' cup size you measure your overbust Victoria's Secret-style (high under the arms and OVER the bust, snug, but not too tightly) and subtract this from your full bust measurement (preferably wearing the bra you plan to wear with the garment). Usually, no difference between these measurement equals a 'B-cup' and then you just count up (and down) from there one inch per cup size at the time.

  This is not to say that these four 'garment sewing' cup sizes cover all possible bra cup sizes -- they really really don't and I am perfectly aware of that -- but rather how they should be read and interpreted. They are a bit of a relic of the past and somewhat indicative of how the whole cup size system came into being, I think, not of the way proper modern full-bust bras are designed and intended to be worn. Also, the measuring method does not work for everybody -- women with very tall, very high-set, very FoT, and/or otherwise simply very voluminous breasts might have difficulty taking their overbust measurement in a way that yields sensible results. Also, the method does not account for upper torso length, apex position, posture, particularly wide or narrow shoulders, or other body shape peculiarities.

  This is also not to say that people who use this 'garment sewing' system are not genuinely clueless about proper bra sizing -- many unfortunately are -- but rather that these are two different systems. For an example as to how the two systems yield different figures: at the moment I wear a 30E/F bra (my measurements would put me around a 28F/FF), but in garment sewing terms I would be between a 'C' and a 'D cup' or something.

  Just for completion: if you sew yourself, you chose your pattern size according to your overbust measurement and use the difference between overbust and full bust measurement to determine the amount you need to add in a full bust bust alteration/adjustment (FBA). The reason for this is that using your overbust measurement will get you closer to something that fits properly in the shoulders than your full bust measurement will. You then add (or subtract) the difference where it's actually needed -- in the front only, obviously! -- instead going with a larger (or smaller) size that would spread it all around the torso.
