starting from under

i think i tried on more than a dozen brassieres yesterday.  i finally had the courage to go on 'the-perfect-bra-for-me' hunt. my self-renovation project made me make 360 degree turn at how i dressed up.  before, i kept buying the cheap, shapeless clothes, including my undies.  now i realized that i can motivate myself even more if i dressed better.  so i decided to start from under.

i knew it was gonna take some time and effort so i braced myself for a lot of disappointments.  and yes a string of bras, many of which were either ill-fitting or did not even go past my shoulders made me want to explore going bra-less for once.

my first stop was triumph which was the most reasonably priced among the tried and tested ones.  alas, after many attempts i sadly shook my head at the oh-so-helpful saleslady.  they had everything else but my size, an 85c.

looking past ridiculously-priced maidenform, i checked out jockey.  i ended up buying plenty panties but still no bra for me.  even their sportsbra collection couldn't put up with my over-sized pair [please don't think i'm bragging.  if i could, i'd give away half of each bosom.  that's 4 years of back pain talking.

i was about to call it a disappointing day when i espied three buxom women chatting with the wacoal saleslady.  when i was young and vain, i made sure i had atleast a set of wacoal undies, i loved the fit and the girly lace they came in.  they were pricey but they were worth it.

this time though i checked out their t-shirt bra collection which were plain, no frills, no lace.  i happily discovered that there were no extra pads nor underwires.  i flipped it and gasped at the P1Kplus price.  but i was tempted to try it on.  maidenform costs twice as much, and their items don't even look half as good [the ones on display anyway].  so i went ahead and tried it on.  it couldn't have fit me more perfectly.  the best thing was it stayed put and didn't ride up my chest no matter how much i twisted and turned.

the wacoal lady confirmed that it was their bestselling style, she tipped me on how to launder it to make them last long.  so i finally discovered the secret of those chubby mommies who looked yummy instead of flabby.  thanks to my new wacoals, i no longer have to pull at my sides to adjust the fit every now and then.  its so comfy and soft but with a firm hold at the same time.

now on to my next project.  find the right fitting tops. tips on where to find them, anyone?
