My high bust is a 36 and full bust is 38. Under bust is 32

Hi There, sometimes it’s better to go by measurements rather than cup size. Measure your full bust and your high bust. Look at the difference between the 2 numbers. If it’s more than 2 1/2″ you may want to do an FBA.

Can’t wait to see you Sarvi! Holler if you need anything when you arrive, and have a great trip!

One day we’ll have a girls’ shopping day out!

No tips but I wish I was coming to carry your bags.

So darling! Where on earth did you find that great fabric?

Another bump — any last minute tips? I’m wondering what I might be able to get in NY that I can’t get in LA. My stash is really bursting and I just don’t think I can justify buying unless it’s a case of missing a unique opportunity.

Ellen, I agree with Nicole. I usually let things slide, and it’s fine while it’s just me — but that garment has a life after your kid’s use of it. I find I am too embarrassed to give away some outgrown clothes because of those moments that I didn’t go back and unpick. I have the same exact problem with stitch-in-the-ditch and insides…[Read more]
