It might just be easier to tell you where they saw it? Anyway, LOL! Don't you just love those fugly daisy cups?<br /><br />@mutzali:<br /><br />I think miss 32A might have just been jealous. There ain't much cleavage to be had with those! I guess maybe Kohl's in different places carry different things?

Give money instead.<br /><br />Actually, I'm not the sort of person who'd give that sort of gift anyway (unless asked or given fairly strong hints*): I'm easily embarassed and tend to overthink gifts.<br /><br />*footnote: And by "fairly strong" I mean "Hey, I need a new bra, and it would suck if you didn't buy me one for my birthday and I had to murder you with your own spleen."

My sons and husband bought work shirts and pants. I went to look at bras. I finally asked if they carry 38Ds, and the salesgirl (who was about a 32A) showed me to the "minimizer" bra section. I don't need any extra padding, but I don't want to walk around squashed all day.<br /><br />Luckily, I found the Just My Size outlet in another mall. <br /><br />denelian, can I presume you have found bra extenders? I usually find them in sewing stores, and they're just a hunk of elastic with 2 or three rows of hook-and-eye closures to add inches when you find the right bra with a too-small band.mutzalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720707287114630951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-617450175184120862011-04-13T19:18:36.423-04:002011-04-13T19:18:36.423-04:00D'Ma;

Having bras on hand for fluctuation of weight that can be either water-based or actual fat-based, and which can happen a great deal more often than once a month around PMS time. I'm wandering around in a too-big cup right now because I have bras in my drawer whose bands are too big and cups are too small; whose bands are the right size and cups are too big; who are too big all around; and just... I am wearing sports bras right now.Cynical Nymphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601814894895238102noreply@blogger.com
