Boobs!
I have boobs. There is a rather large size for someone with my frame. Shopping for bras, bathing suits, my wedding dress = nightmare! Everything makes me kind of look like a call girl . And not even a classy call girl!
So the shitty foam corsets at David’s Bridal weren’t doing me any good. (I’m a little disappointed in them.. they measured me and ordered me a special size.. and it still didn’t fit.) So I wandered into a Victoria’s Secret for the second time in my life, and ended up being refered to a specialty bra shop in Richmond, VA- Blythe.
What I learned:
1) The size 30FF exists.
2) I am a 30FF.
I got a kick ass strapless bra and a regular bra. I didn’t know awesome strapless bras existed for busty girls! I also splurged on a cute little ‘Bride’ tank top. The place is a little pricey.. but definitely worth it! I opened my mailbox today to find a hand written card from the salesgirl who helped me on Saturday, which was totally sweet.
So if you are in driving distance of Richmond, I definitely recommend it!!

Hey!
I don’t have your problem, but my mother does to an extent. She has to go to Sylene’s, which is in Bethesda. I don’t know where in NOVA you are, but that is probably closer than Richmond. I live in NOVA too, so I hope that helps.

I fought plenty of awkwardness to post this but, you did do the GTFO line: “Thirty double-eff” has a nice ring to it.
