Lady Pyre Urbane And I'm sick of stores making their sizes bigger to make people think they lost weight. xp Yeah. Like the Gap. I remember my mom and I were buying jogging suits there once. And we overheard this woman in the dressing room saying something like "Oh my God. I'm a size 10!? I've never been that big!" ... After she left we both looked at each other and asked how much denial that stupid b***h was in (she was one of those mothers trying to be the daughter - with the horrible bleached out hair and the skin cancer tan and just ugh). We each have to buy a size smaller than usual at the Gap. Bleeehhh I'll never understand why some people think their skin looks attractive when it actually looks like an old baseball glove. And bleached hair+tans=oompa loompa.

Urbane American bra-makers tend to suck. Their ranges leave so many women out in the cold. neutral VS only sells like, one bra style in a 32A... and generally there's only two or three plain colors in the store. It's the Pink collection tee shirt bra... All the other ones are too padding. I don't like heavy padding. It feels too fake. But their straps are always too long for me and the bands are always a bit lose after the first wear. But there aren't any easy-to-find, and most importantly afforable, brands that make a 30B. H&M makes funny shaped bras. Calvin Klein Choice seems to be good when I can find a nice bra. America doesn't have much to offer for the little people. D: French brands are usually itty bitty, and I'm actually TOO BIG for their smallest sizes, which is kind of comforting. The funny thing is that French women aren't that small... And I'm sick of stores making their sizes bigger to make people think they lost weight. xp Meh, agreed on the padding thing. Sometimes it works for dresses and such, but I find myself getting rather annoyed with them more often than not. A little thing that bugs me is the damned little cloth rose in the front and center of the bras. What the ******** is up with that? I hate that thing. I like their panties, but their bras generally suck. Though, I have seen a few here and there that were really nice. VS also needs more cute panties. I like the patterns, but they need more cute designs.

Hey Pasta They've got some cute ones, yeah, but the problem with their panties - at least, the plain cotton VS ones, not the Pink brand - is that they're HUGE. I wear a size small in their undies, usually, but I bought a couple more pairs the other day, but when I put a pair on once I got home, and they were like granny panties. D: Maybe it's just where I live, but it seemed like they usually had a fair assortment of panties. Maybe their stock has changed since I went in there last or something, I remember them being a lot better than what everyone else is describing. I feel like I should sell bras and panties at this rate. I'd make a fortune.

And you would. Aim for the sizes that don't get much attention and you'd be rich as all hell.

Hey Pasta Oh, they've got tons - just the sizing is crazy.
And you would. Aim for the sizes that don't get much attention and you'd be rich as all hell. Thats what I mean. I don't know, maybe I know girls with big asses or something? I just don't get it. And yeah, thats pretty much what I was thinking. Cute things in harder to find sizes.

The worst place to go bra shopping if you're small is a Walmart. I don't even think they carry anything below a 36C. xd
Wolffy, women would worship you (more) if you did.

Indeed, I can see no real reason to ever enter a Walmart. I went in there once, and it was CHAOS.
I seriously hate that place from the bottom of my heart. Not for any of it's practices, though I hate that too, but rather I just hate the store. It's like a vortex of spite.
But that issue aside, yes, I'd need to make (decently priced) cute underwears with more premium items going for premium prices.
I can finally make bras without really ******** stupid clasps! Those hook in eye clasps always get bent over time and I hate that. And I can't do those ******** front clasps one handed. ******** that noise.
That and it would be an excuse to hire cute girls to parade around in their underwear all day.

Wolffy000 And I can't do those ******** front clasps one handed. I think if you can actually get your palm around it, it makes it a bit easier to perform the required twists. But not much easier. You need iron fingers or something. xO

Sirius Silverstar I think if you can actually get your palm around it, it makes it a bit easier to perform the required twists. But not much easier. You need iron fingers or something. xO To be honest, I haven't had too many encounters with them. I mean, once they're undone it's like "Yay! Boobs!" but it's a lot more effort than it's worth the times I've had with them. Part of me just believes there has the be more efficient yet comfortable clasps out there. Also, I like a #4h pencil. It makes for really well defined lines.

Mechanical pencils all the way. And Prismacolor Nupastels are lovely. Actually, Prismacolor in general is a great quality brand. I love the way their markers smell... I have their 36 box of nupastels, their 48 set of markers, the 72 tin of colored pencils, and the 36 pack of verithin color pencils. I usually don't let other people touch any of them. o.0
And back to bras, I like back closure bras. I think they're super easy to put on and take off. It took my boyfriend a while to get the hang of it though. I just don't think guys are meant to be able to work with bra clasps. It's like the child-proof cap on vitamins+drugs. xd

I generally only use regular pencils though, not colored or markers or anything. I like the hook in eye clasps too, it's not a problem for me. The downside being that I've seen ones that, over time, bent out of shape. Not a huge problem, but I still find it annoying. That, and I like the thought of random variety for the sake of frustrating other men.

I've never had them get bent out of shape. I take good care of my bras though, I have some really cute ones. xd
Are you sure you're buying the right sized lead? There is a difference. razz

I know there is a difference, but I get tired of buying lead then losing the pencil I bought it for. Which, for some reason, seems that no other pencil uses the same grade lead. It just gets annoying, y'know?
And yeah, most girls I know don't take too good of care of their bras. At least I'm sure some of them don't, hahaha.
