Custom Made Bras, Made Easy

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

All boobs are unique in size, shape, and volume. Yet women must dress their breasts in less than a custom fit. Standard bra cups, under wires, and sizing can’t take into account the various ways our mammaries morph. Most women are forced to buy off-the-rack for their original “racks.” Pattern maker and clothing designer Don McCunn has a solution for crafty gals seeking the perfect breast supporter. McCunn has written an eBook and teaches an on-line class in how to make custom-fit bras. Given the price of most manufactured bras (anywhere from $25 to $150), his approach is a real bargain. The class is $50; eBook is $25, materials run $12, and McCunn’s Yahoo support group is free. Happy and comfortable boobs: priceless. (Don’t delay, though, as his bra making class is offered only once a year, and the next one begins May 11th.)

Nipples of Steel Neutralized

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Nippies Natural

Working the room at the fabulous Zovo Lingerie event, the Boob Lady encountered a party-goer with a pesky problem: how to keep  her “nipples of steel” from protruding profusely through her undergarments.  The gal in question was fed up with keeping  ”the girls”  confined to thick, molded cup bras in order to keep her nips neutralized. (While there is nothing more beautiful and alluring than the female nipple, some women are uncomfortable with theirs at 24/7 attention.) The Boob Lady’s solution? The amazingly practical  Nippies Natural. Made of ultra-thin silicone, they come in two colors (beige and brown) and two styles (adhesive for strapless gowns, and non-adhesive for extra coverage under thin bras or clothing). Now armed with proper girl gear, the satisfied customer left Zovo with two new beautiful, soft and sexy bras — and a personalized copy of my book!  Boob mission accomplished.

Introducing the bOOb Fairy….

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

boob-fairy

For teens and in-betweens, breast development can be both a blessing and a curse. It’s a new body part whose obvious arrival is either anxiously anticipated or totally unexpected. There can be plenty of drama surrounding “the girls:” from buying a first bra to how others react to a new, more womanly body. In BooBs: a Guide to Growing Girls, the Boob Fairy bares all about our morphing mammaries. Filled with true stories from other growing girls, it provides expert advice on what to expect when you are expecting breasts. Chapters uncover everything from bra wear and care, common fears and concerns, to best breast health, and how to deal with unwanted breast attention. Whatever their eventual size or shape, all girls will discover the power of life and love they hold in their budding bosoms.

New Year, New Bra Resolution

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Want to instantly improve your figure? Exercise and diet are important, but wearing the right bra will also change your appearance, and make your girls appear more perky and fit. If you haven’t had your boobs fitted in the past year, make it a New Year priority. Even when properly cared for (read: hand wash in delicate soap and hang dry), bras lose their elasticity and shape over time. Our much loved and well-worn favorite bras can wear out in less than a year! If your foundations look a bit tired, it may be time to give your lingerie drawer a lift. Here are some tips to boost your breast assets:

Choose an experienced bra fitter. You want someone who has seen a bazillion boobs and is familiar with many manufacturers. Bras are like women’s breasts: they, too, come in a variety of shapes ad sizes. One style may not fit your girls as well as another. Consulting an expert in this area will save you time, money, and a bra load of frustration. The Boob Lady recommends visiting a boutique lingerie shop with a variety of designers or a large department store with lots of choices. Visit the Bras and Beyond page of my website for a list of manufacturers and retailers.

Give your girls the gift of time. You may have to try on a dozen or more bras to find one that’s just right. Remember: no two breasts are alike, even on the same woman. Since custom-made bras aren’t readily available or affordable, you’ll have to buy “off the rack” for your rack. Your twins are not the problem; it’s the challenge of engineering support for a multitude of distinctly endowed women.

Embrace your true size. Don’t be shocked if your fitter places you in unfamiliar bra size territory. Any number of factors – such as weight gain or loss, going on and off the pill, aging — can morph your mammary flesh. Ignore the ABC’s (or DEF’s). What’s more important is how it feels and looks under your clothes. If so, buy a minimum of three different colors to replenish your bra inventory. That way you’ll always have one to wear, one to “air” (to rest and recover its shape after two-days wear), and one to spare.

Complete Your New Look. You match up shoes to your outfit, so why not panties and bras? Even in the black, white and beige basics, there are plenty of pretty thongs, boy-shorts and other styles from which to choose. Complete your wardrobe by stocking up on three pairs of panties for every bra purchase. No matter what you’re wearing, you’ll always feel like a goddess underneath!

Nipple Ring Nonsense

 nipple rings

Today’s news story about a woman asked to remove her nipple rings before boarding an airplane — but not the jewelry adorning her navel — is made even more ridiculous by this accompanying photo. The offended boob owner re-enacted her ordeal on a mannequin dressed in an under wire bra. (It was unclear whether the artificial torso sported her own set of nips or not.)
