Underneath your clothes...

Buy it now: belt, wedges

It's amazing what the right undergarments will do. There was a time that I couldn't wear this dress without a scarf or without pinning the neckline to my bra - there was just too much bra showing to be appropriate! Enter my new best friend, the Andorra Full Cup Bra from Panache - I bought mine from Intimacy (best bra shopping experience EVER, I highly recommend!). The girls are up, the neckline is low, and the look is perfection :)

Speaking of undergarments, the girls aren't the only ones being taken care of at the moment. I'm super picky when it comes to my undies - I can't stand synthetic or polyester-like fabric in this case, nor do I want to be wearing underwear in weird, non-stretchy cotton (I've come across both - not good times). And there's nothing worse than too-tight underwear giving the dreaded VPL and muffin top, amiright? I like my everyday undies in soft, stretchy, comfortable cotton that breathes and moves with me. Duchess & Duchess gets it! That's why they created a line of pretty, flirty, and (most importantly) comfortable undies in sizes 1X-3X. The creators, Nina and Ines, were kind enough to send me a pair of hipsters and a thong to try out, and I must say, they did a great job with these! They have everything I look for: soft cotton, stretchy, enough coverage to be comfortable but still really cute.

If you're a size 3X (52"-54" hips) it's your lucky day! I have 2 pairs to give away to one lucky lady (one thong and one hipster)! This'll be a quick one - giveaway closes at 12:01am on Monday! Use the Rafflecopter form below to enter :)

Formspring questions

"Hey Girl, love your blog! It's refreshing to see fashionista bloggers who have curves! Anyway, was wondering where you bra shop? I'm pretty well-endowed as well (38G), and have SUCH a difficult time finding good bras (and swimsuits!!) Any tips?"


I feel you!!! Bra and swimsuit shopping has always been the bane of my existence. A few years ago I went WOB Lingerie, a boutique near me and got professionally measured for a good bra. Turned out I'm also a 38G! They recommended the Wacoal Elegance Hidden Underwire Bra. I've been wearing this bra style for YEARS now and have never looked back. In my opinion, there is no better fitting, more flattering, or more comfortable bra for everyday wear than this one.  Yes, it's on the more expensive side, but for something you'll wear constantly it's worth the price.  Check it out here (some colors are on sale too, score!)

I've had good luck with swimsuits at Land's End this year. I purchased the Plus Size Beach Living Sweetheart Tunic Swimsuit Top in the 20W and it fits great and is very comfortable and supportive in the bust and it had underwire. And I love the little ruffle on the bottom! Same goes for the Plus Size Beach Living Dot Scoop Tankini Swimsuit Top. I bought it in the navy polka dot along with the solid navy Plus Size Beach Living Shirred Mini SwimMini. Hope this helps!
