feuervogel: (corset)
I have big boobs. Not massive, thankfully, just big. I guess they're proportional, but I couldn't tell you, since I'm used to them, and I wear loose clothes a lot. Of course, now that I'm losing weight, I'm buying less baggy clothes. Tops, anyway; my hips and thighs are still kinda big, and the current fashun in jeans seems to be narrow fit, which means I can't find any that fit my short-waisted hourglass torso *and* my thighs at the same time.

Yeah, I'm hourglass-shaped. It's kind of annoying. Thankfully, I know how to use a sewing machine.

I've started doing a Pilates class at the yoga studio half a mile from my house. I only go once a week, and I've been going maybe 2 months now, and I can already do more reps or go deeper on the abs-things than I could when I started. It's pretty awesome. The teacher does upper arms, thighs, and core, so we get a good balance.

I have one pair of workout leggings. They're about knee length. It's starting to get a little cool for capris and walking to class, so I've been looking at the Title 9 catalog. They've got some yoga pants that come in petite (yay), but they're a little expensive (boo), but I know they'll hold up a long time, so maybe it's worth it.

Whenever I flip through the print version, I see the cute bra tops that never come in my size and get a twinge of jealousy. The biggest size many of them come in is 38B, though one goes up to 38-40BC. I've worn a bra top in that size, and let's just say it didn't work properly. If it'll fit a B/C cup, it's not gonna work with a D.

They've got *one* bra top that includes 36D in the sizing, and that size (L) is out of stock in the on-sale colors. If I want it in black or green, I can pay $45 for it, rather than $32 on sale.

They don't even sell the long sports bra I have right now anymore, which is annoying, because I love it and would wear it all the time if I had three of them. These are my options. Bleh.

If only corsets were more flexible...

Yeah, that's why I watch for the sales. I REALLY like the way the clothes fit so far. I have a red peacoat which I totally love; it fits perfectly and it's flattering. The blue knit dress is okay, but not as exciting, and I just got a cotton silk day dress that also fits very well. I haven't tried any of the tops with built in bras, though, so I don't know how they fit.
