I hate button blouses, always have since developing breasts. I used to think that the makers were just skimping on buttons and placing them farther and farther apart giving wears that horrible button 'gapiosis'.
So after years ( and I do mean YEARS) of not wearing blouses (I am 61) I started to, about 5 years ago to wear them again, ... occasionally and then more frequently as my solution finally proved successful.
I have large breasts and up until last month, wore horrible wrong sized bras that didn't do much for my shape or self esteem. Blouses that fit my shoulders would not fit my chest. Blouses that fit my chest made me look like I was wearing a tent and the shoulder seem would reach about 1/3 of the way to my elbow. Blah.
I bought a nice blouse on sale for camping. Loved the plaid print and the light stretchy material. It had princess seems. Perfect for my figure. It /almost/ fit my chest.. almost, but I bought it anyway and another in green plaid.
I went home, and sewed the shirts closed with tiny stitches so no one would be able to notice over the part of the placket that would gap (it's the 2 middle buttons).
I put the shirts on over my head without any trouble and the shirts fit my shoulders now and my bust. They actually fit better now with good fitting bras, but still, I have confidence that they don't gap any more, it's easier to dress and wear them and it even works for woven blouses.
I still love my tees and polo shirts, but now, I can wear a blouse and not look slovenly or pregnant (although, now I don't think anyone would think I was pregnant..lol)
And that is how I deal with 'gapiosis'

Try Biu Biu or Urkye. They're both Polish clothing sites and you can actually button the buttons.
I have this same problem. I can most likely where a Medium or Large sized button down and it fit everything BUT my chest. My chest requires a 2XL. I can't find any button downs anymore that look ok unless they are very stretchy. Shirts used to fit when I was wearing the wrong size bra. Now they don't. The ones that did fit me before, they come up so short on the bottom that I look ridiculous! I would love to try the sites suggested above ^ but I'm afraid to!

I know everyone here wants only the best for their boobies... but do your feet get any love?
My feet carry me around all day long, arguably taking a worse beating than the rest of me, and yet my sock drawer is filled with cheap, thin, flimsy socks that either wear out and look like ratty, hole-filled wads of sadness within ... months or (more often than not) end up as unintentional sacrificial offerings to the washing machine elves.
I'm thinking I need to stop neglecting my feet. The next time my sock drawer reaches critical levels of empty, I want to get myself some of these fancy foot-coverings: http://www.bombas.com/
Partly because they look like they will last me much longer and partly because this company donates a pair of socks to the homeless for every pair you buy. (Did you know homeless people are more susceptible to crippling foot diseases and infections because they don't change their socks often enough? Eek!)
What about you ladies? What's in your sock drawers?

A bunch of crappy cheap Hanes socks. I need to break down and get some decent socks, I just don't like spending money on them. Even if they last longer.
I make my own winter socks! No joke. Take up knitting. :) For summer, I wear cotton cheapies.

got my prAna dress today with the built in shelf bra.
it does fit!
the shelf bra is more sophisticated than a cami with a shelf bra, it's more like a pull over sports bra.
i bought a size Small and it fits my 31.5" underbust and 36 overbust better than i expected!
i can't wait to buy more of these.
i've always had problems figuring out what bra to wear with summer dresses and this solves that problem!

Thanks for the info. Sounded crazy, but why not give it a try!! I just purchased a pair. They are in demand...on backorder until Aug 25.
I really wanna get myself some of these lace boxers:
http://www.foxers.com/lace-boxers
...but they're kinda expensive for panties. This seems like the most relevant place to post the question: Has anyone tried these? Do they actually have full ass coverage or is it just like buying "boyshorts" anywhere else, where you have to size up and low-ride them if you want your whole bum covered? And if you haven't tried them, do you think they're worth a shot? They look so comfy...

They look cheeky to me. Science and Silicone reviewed them a bit ago: http://www.scienceandsilicone.com/scienceandsilicone/2014/09/review-giveaway-foxers-papaya-lace.html?rq=foxers
The boxer brief style looks more boxer like though.
I have two of these but not this brand its from forever21 so comfortable and goes well with any jeans plus it works like thongs with NVPL

While I have bust-friendly clothing, I still sometimes end up buying a dress a bit too snug on top. I've had to employ the help of 3 safety pins to secure the gaps and also provide reinforcements to these poor little buttons. I don't know what I was thinking when I got dressed this morning except "You're late--keys and shoes, ... boobs later!"
What I wouldn't do for the chance to take a few long deep breaths right now without the fear that I'll get stabbed by the very devices helping prevent my dress from popping open.
Aside from safety pins (and buying the right size clothing), what do you ladies tend to use to prevent the tell-tale too small blouse button gaps? Do you avoid buttons altogether? When you're at work/school, do you sneak to the washroom to unbutton and get a little breather?

as a 32J, i've mostly given up. When I was a bit smaller i managed to find some that only gapped slightly . . . .
I don't wear anything that is too small on top, not worth the aggravation.
If I'm willing to deal with a small amount of BS then I prefer for that BS to be geared to tailoring the waist of a buttoned shirt/dress in the next size up, so that it fits everywhere. It's usually about $15-20 and only has to be done once.

A few weeks ago I asked if Comexim will make custom underwear. I emailed Anna and they will make any style of underwear they offer (brief, shorts, thong) in any material.
I ordered an Irish Coffee thong and an Ingrid thong. They were 48 pln each.
I didn't make any other requests aside from the thong itself, I wanted to see what ... they would make.
They turned out really nice. They're pretty, and I don't know why they don't just offer them on the site.
I do wish the Ingrid thong had the ruffle that the brief does, but it's not a big deal. I'm still happy with my special panties
If anyone is interested, this is what they look like:
Irish Coffee http://bra.pe/XPTm/
Ingrid http://bra.pe/XPTl/
This will be a standard order for me when I buy from Comexim.

I've never bought matching undies, and as I started reading this post, I started to think "but you wear a bra more times than you wear undies before washing?" and then I saw you got 2 pair lol well, that makes sense
I always get two pair when I can. If I can't I at least have a second that "go with".
And you never have bought matching undies? You need some in your life. Matchy matchy is the best.

Hey! So, I have some partially matched/unmatched sets hanging out and I'm looking for some bottoms. NWT/NWOT is great, used is fine with me if they're clean and stain free. 36/38 preferred but I can take in a 40 or 42 if need be.
Musisztomieć thong and/or brief
Burek thong and/or brief
Kleksik thong and/or brief
Margot thong and/or brief
Malinka brief
Trefl brief
Turkusik thong
Gazeta thong
Thank you, ladies

I'll check when I get home, but I believe I have a Kleksik brief in 36. I can't recall whether I've even tried it on. I know I haven't worn it because the bra itself has an insanely tight band. It's so tight I haven't removed the tags because I'm not sure an extender is worth the trouble. It's annoying how inconsistent EM band sizing is.
I'm thinking of selling both the bra and brief so I can stop being so annoyed about it.
Cool, let me know! The rosette on the back is adorable!
You're right about the band, I bought a 70E MP with the intent of taking in the band and I don't have to.

Okay, so I've been searching for a reasonably priced swimsuit and found that I love love love the bottoms to Panache Swim - Veronica. I can't find a top in my size for under $50, and can't make myself spend that much!
Anyone happen to know another brand using the blue or purple of panache's veronica?
OR
Does anyone happen to have a 30D/DD/E's in any of the purple colorway?!
It's the perfect bottom for my shape and I love the purple!

Oh hey! They have the tankini, in the largest size I'd be comfortable with, on there!
Unfortunately, it's £28... which is $44USD plus shipping. That's more than I'm comfortable with spending..

For those of you who have tried Comexim, I was wondering if their bottoms generally run TTS, small, or large?
I guess I should have asked sooner, but logic is usually not a friend of mine X-p

I'm generally an XS/S.
The two Emanuelle bottoms fit me fine and as expected.
The Ingrid bottoms were a little tight, but I don't think I'd want a medium.
The Irish Coffee bottoms were tight and I'm reordering a medium when I reorder my bras.
So, I'd say TTS to small.
@jlcl119 Thank you :)
I can't believe I forgot to ask haha
I'm glad you mentioned the Irish Coffee. I'm considering ordering it after I see how the Emanuelle fits, so that's good to know!
I'm usually a small or medium, and I ordered a medium in my order with the Joys, so that puts my mind at ease :)

I have one. It does its job, bras don´t get smushed. The only downside is that it takes quite a lot of room in the bag.
Fairy79 is it buxom size ?

I sent some stuff back to BiuBiu on April 23rd. It arrived May 2nd. Now BiuBiu has emailed me saying that somehow the parcel has been stopped. The tracking says said Zabrze. Then today I checked and it said PLZABA. Anyone had this issue before? The only thing I could think of is that I put the cost of the items at $90. I sent something back two weeks ago and it arrived with no problems whatsoever.
ETA: And now I'm trying to order more and it looks like they've deleted all Asian countries from their delivery section. Darn.

Oh no that's horrible did they deleted all asian countries? for real?
Yep. Hoping it's a fluke but they're all gone. Indonesia is there but it's under Australia New Zealand post.

Is it normal to be able to see the edge of a molded cup bra under a thin shirt? For some reason, I feel like when I was wearing the wrong size ages ago, I couldn't see the edge of the cup like that.

Thin shirts have gotten thinner in recent years, which may have contributed to prior bras being less visible due to the material being thicker than commonly found in shirts today.
That makes sense! :)

@bumblebean thank you so much!
Hey guys, I just wanted to share this review of a (prototype) Trusst bra. This company was posted here a while ago and I was curious about it's construction. Instead of an underwire it seems like it has a flat rigid piece. Actually, it kind of reminds me of the Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless Bra (9468) minus the hand part. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the article!

Yeah, i saw that. Interesting, but I'm still not convinced. Obviously they still have a ways to go
The flat rigid underwire replacement material is not as adjustable as an underwire, so would have to be more precise on width and shape, but would spread the weight of breasts over a larger surface area, so *might* be more comfortable if it fit well.

So about those knickers...
I don't know why it hadn't occurred to me before, what with how bra bands and tight waistbands on lower rise pants affect the way body fat can tend to appear thanks to the ongoing regular constriction...but...I've noticed that many of my lower-rise knickers are settling into a new dent they might have actually been creating much ... like low rise pants would do at the hip (which is one of the reasons I don't buy pants with a low rise if I can avoid them) and it's not a size issue per se. I did a bit of research with going up a size and found those knickers were too big in the front and to a lesser degree too big in back. It may be an issue caused by the cut, the way industry sizes knickers, or a combination of factors which my body simply isn't shaped for. The more fabric a certain style of knickers has, the worse it fits on me - high cuts and briefs, in particular. The materials used could contribute to the situation but that would likely need to be in conjunction with the construction process - stitching the extremely narrow elastic to cotton blends will take on a particular appearance which going through the laundry a lot has the time to cause such an effect.
Having recently-ish lost some weight around my midsection, maybe the dent has been there I just couldn't see past my boobs and tummy before? Anyone else have some insight and possible suggestions for a non-surgical solution? I still can't see my feet, but that's because my boobs are in the way, and the size my feet are - I think...

I agree with you that this can happen but I think you'd have to be wearing your undies quite tight to get a lasting indent. Are you sure this isn't one of the delightful effects of weight loss and/or the passage of time? As skin loses elasticity due to either one of the above, we usually start to look generally lumpier and less smooth.

While both are certainly possible, I've asked the Mr and he had an interesting point about my tendency to wear knickers under tights and stockings - which may just be his mind working at ways to get me to go commando but I'll play along if it is about that for the moment - and sitting down a lot for work with both layers on under a skirt may contribute to the issue. I suppose I'll have to forgo one or the other to see if it helps.

Is it a thong?
Nope, briefs.
