• Doesn't their calculator suggest 6Fab for 28G and size 6? How come you bought it in a smaller bust level? Also, was that the only issue you had with it? Too small boob space? I'm curious because I'm 5 feet tall and quite curvy for my size so even though full bust brands are like heaven for most Bratabasers, it could be a disastrous fit for me. How tall are you and how did you find the proportions to be? Good for tall people or short people? Or best for average height, what would you say?

• prettyNpetite

  The Foxy/Fab thing was right at the cusp for me so I went with Foxy. However I still had room in the bust to move around, it didn't run small there. I didn't really have any issues with it, I just have too many dresses!

  I'm 5'5" and it would be cute on a shorter girl, but it will be more of a cocktail/party dress and less of a vegas clubbing dress. I also noticed a little room around the hips so if you're curvy in the hips that could work too. If anything I felt like it ran a tiny bit big on me.

• What size is that? You got measurements for it? It will be interesting to see how both compare.

  I utterly hate when companies do this.

• 32jj they are the same but just no stretchiness whatsoever

Run in my knickers!

My NWT ck Tease me knickers have a run in them! I've yet to use them and would like to have more than one wear in them!

I can't send them back. I'm not sure if they got the run before they were sent or once I got them.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to keep this from getting worse? Or how to fix it?

Thanks!

• Oh. I just gonna comment to say that mine have a similar run, which is now a small hole, so I hope someone knows a fix :D

• Clea nail polish? Just a dab at either end. Might have to reapply after laundering but it might hold for a few washes.

  And I'd still contact the store and/or mfg and let them know, especially since two of you are reporting the same problem.

• What do you mean by double wide shoes? I know there's D fit (standard), E fit (wide fit) and EE fit (extra wide). I even think there's even wider than that. Also, where are you located? If you live in Europe there's a few UK websites that sell wide fit shoes that I'm aware of:

  www.newlook.com
  www.clarks.co.uk

  I'm certain I've seen more websites with it but I can't remember right now, sorry =/

  Made In Preston sells bust-friendly clothes where you can choose between 3 different bust volumes and you combine that with your high street size, the size you'd need for your waist and hips. Do you want a long or short dress? Because I've seen a green bodycon dress on MIP's website! :)

• As far as shoes go, all I know is that even the "wide" shoes from Walmart and Payless leave my feet feeling bruised. I'm in Canada and you've made it sound like Europe is some kind of wide shoe heaven! I'm not too picky about dress length. I'll definitely check out Made in Preston.

• i ordered 3 dresses, but i didn't think that any of them had much in the way of bust room tbh. I ordered a 12 and two 14s, one of the 14s was more like a 10! The waist is high on their swing dresses, so if you are short it might be a better fit.

• Thanks, i fancy a wiggle but isnt sounding good :(

• Why would you go down to a 55? A 27" band would be a 60, unless your BTT is closer to 24".

• Thanks, I hadn't noticed that.

• Not I. All my winter coats make me look like a big box. Someday I would like a jacket that fits my figure.

• I just feel so bummed out :( I can never wear jackets... I can get away with it 6 months of the year but the other 6 months? It sucks :( I have a very different style in my head compared to what I have to wear. I just wear whatever I bought a few years ago. I absolutely dread the day that I no longer can wear my current jacket... Where to go then? I'll probably have to buy a jacket I don't like, which fits me badly, but at least doesn't hurt.

  Why can't there be a brand that sells winter jackets based not only on your bustyness, but also your height? I really need something like that. Imagining a day where I can just tick "petite" and "RC" or something like that (Pepperberry) feels so distant and just having that option... It would be a godsend.

• I'm actually really interested to see how the t-shirt works out for you! :) I've been thinking about buying the Italian print one but so far I've decided not to take a chance on it (sizing can vary so much and I'm not sure if MiP's size chart is actually true, most charts aren't). According to the chart I should be a much bigger size than a 6, but a 6 is usually what I need in tops, EVERYWHERE so far. I've compared MiP's chart to other brands' charts and the charts are similar to each other. If MiP is like the rest of the bunch, I'll need a size 6. If they're not, a size 6 would look dreadfully tight on me.

• prettyNpetite, I would be happy to let you know how it fits me when I receive it. I wear a size 0 (extra-small) in tops and dresses here in the US. The 6 was the smallest I could go with MiP. I actually wanted the Italian one as well but decided just to go with the one.

• Bravissimo and Panache make those I believe.

  EDIT: Here have some links:

  http://www.bravissimo.com/products/strappy-tops/#/1

  http://www.amazon.com/Panache-Womens-Cotton-Lycra-Camisole/dp/B005THWJY4

  I also forgot about the Freya Active Sport Top (though it apparently gives a pretty droopy shape, but it's perfect for working out because it provides a ton of support): http://www.freyalingerie.com/active/sports/performance-wear/sports_top.aspx?colour=cosmic%20blue

• I would also like to find some relatively inexpensive camis. I've never heard anything more ridiculous than "shelf bra support system".

Workout clothes and underwear from Freya and others

Do you own workout clothes made with the coolmax fabric ?
On Freya's website, they say this fabric is odor free, so you can wear the item many times before washing it. They also say "wick away sweat".
If you have something similar, does it really works ?
(I am pariculary interested in Panache sport shorts, they are so pretty)

Because ... right now, I do sport in basic elasthane+cotton clothes, and sorry I will be unglamour, but I finish totally wet...And because I am a student with no washing machine at home, I have to wash my workout clothes by hand many times a week, or wait a long time before I go to the laundromat. So if this coolmax fabric really works, I want it !

But I am quite septical, because I have a shock absorber bra, made with the same type of fabric I suppose, and it finish wet and smelling bad after only one hour . I think it can be worse, (comparing to the shirt I wear over it) but nothing exeptionnal.

• I have not tried the Freya gear, but I work out a lot too and have the same issues with "performance" sports clothes - they still get wet and stink!

  I switched to light weight merino wool (like cyclists use) and that solved EVERYTHING. At first, I was skeptical . . . I mean, WOOL!? Won't that be so hot and itchy? BUT, I tried it and now I won't wear anything else. It is so amazing. I stay dry and odor-free and stay that way through multiple wears. It is very soft and comfortable and even looks good enough to wear as normal clothing. My favorite brands are Icebreaker and Ibex and I always stock up quite a bit when there is a sale.

• I find synthetic fabrics end up smelling worse than cotton blends. In my experience, the only advantage is that when it's damp, you don't get the increased friction that you do with cotton when it gets wet. I don't do formal workouts often enough for it to matter these days, but for work (I have a very physical job) I just have enough junky clothes to last all week and wash everything when I have the time. If you can find cheap workout gear, it might be better than investing in items that end up costing more and not saving you any time or frustration.

Where to fing good quality cotton/modal/bamboo knickers for a cheap price ?

6 years ago, I went to USA for hollidays, and bought a lot of Aeries knickers. They were absolutely perfect, good looking and confortable, very good quality and cheap (something like 5$ if I remember well) but after 6 years wearing them everyday, they begin to get too old sadly...
Today, I looked at the shipping price of Aerie online store ... for Europe, it is 50$ !!!!!!!! A lot too expensive for me.
So, do you have an idea where I can buy new panties in natural fabric, if possible very colorful or black, not too girly, and not more than 6-7€ each one, and 5-6€ max for shipping cost to Europe ? And which don't destroy after 5 wears ?

I have already try H&M pack of 3 knickers, but the quality is really bad, they died in 6 months or so.
For now, the best I have found are from New Look, but they are not much more long lasting than the H&M ones.... I prefer not loosing my money to buying them again.
Other lingerie shop around my house use almost only polyester, mesh and cheap stretch lace. And when they do cotton panties, it is for really young teenagers or grand mothers...
(It is not bra related, sorry)
(but the thing is, now I have pretty good fitting bras, I want pretty knickers to go with it !)

• If you'd like, I can order for you here in the US, have it sent to me, and then send it to you. The shipping would probably be about $15 (11-ish euros) depending on which country you're in. :)

• If you find a good source for bamboo, I'd be interested. I wear cotton now, but my socks are bamboo and I think it's great. I'm not prepared to pay over $10 a pair though.

  I think Victoria's Secret does cotton panties. I wouldn't go there for bras, but I have some underwear I bought many years ago on a trip to the states and it has lasted quite a while.

• I always feel like Curvy Kate undies have huge leg holes (like Freya as well -.-) which leaves the undies too baggy feeling for me lol.

• Yes, lol, but the huge leg holes wouldn't matter if my bum could fit in the back!
