OK ladies, most all of us wear them, and sometimes they're a pain in the ass (especially if you're like me and hand wash them), and other times they make us feel sexy. Bras.
I can't tell you how important it is to find the PERFECT bra. The wrong bra will make your bust line look droopy, unflattering, double boob etc. Even Oprah did a thing on bra's, although I'm not quite as free with my money about some of those bras featured. Some of them are $80! Oy! Well my boobs are the size of cupcakes so I don't really have to worry about advanced engineered bras that will lift and support. Unlike most small chested girls, I'm more worried about shaping rather than padding to "add a cup."
Here are a couple videos that shead some light in selecting the best fitting bra:
How to identify poor fitting bras
How to choose a well-fitting bra
My favorite bras are from Calvin Klein's collection about 3 or 4 years ago, back when his collection was almost unheard of. Calvin Klein is my #2 favorite designer. The bras were made much better than their current collection. Now after the world wide launch, I think, 2-years-ago, EVERYBODY is jumping on the Calvin Klein boat. I think his current collection still fits well, but the quality dropped ever since they did their launch. *sigh* now everyone's starting to wear CK underwear, I guess I may have to start looking for something else. Here are some of my more favorite sites for buying lingerie:

You may ask, Why not Victoria's Secret? Why not Frederick's of Hollywood?
Victoria's Secret- My ID is "differentdrumbeat" as in I march to a different drum beat. Victoria's secret is a little too mainstream for me. I do however, find some of their innovations to be excellent and practical and they seem to come out with "solutions" before anyone else does, either that or their marketing department is shit-your-pants fast and powerful. Yes, your mama does curse. I've never bought a bra from Vikki See's but their textile designs are pretty cute overall.
Frederick's of Hollywood- I don't know enough about them. They do have corsets at reasonable prices though ~O.O~ Your mama has a thing for corsets, but that will be another post.
Please, I welcome comments. Do however, keep them appropriate and courteous.
