New Years Resolution Let My Shape do the Fitting for You!

Let My Shape figure out what brands, designers and styles fit you before you even begin to shop!

A No Pain Good Gains New Years resolution instead of the usual, I will do more of what I dislike and less of what I like resolutions we have come to know.

Open a My Shape Personal Shop, feed in all the info they need, (No Money involved, its Free!), to lead you to the clothes that will actually fit you well!

You can read about the, well 3 I have noticed so far, advantages of doing this, and what you will need to open one by reading My Shape, Your Personalized Shop!.

25% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER & FREE SHIPPING* WITH A FREE PERSONAL SHOP

My Shape also sends you sale and discount info and today has a a 30% to 50% Semi-Annual Sale going on. You do not have to shop My Shape to open & / or use your personal shop there, but you might decide to after all.

If you are reading this because you follow the large cup bras sales posted here, we might have a fit problem in common.
If the bust fits, in a top, dress or jacket, even t-shirts, the shoulders will be way too big.
I am hoping My Shape lead me to what really FITS.
So far, for my inverted triangle shape, they have led me to brands I had not considered and some I have thought about and not yet tried.

If you happen to have an inverted triangle shape, My Shape calls this a P shape, So far I notice they suggest lots of Shape fx, which I had not thought much of before. In truth, I was only semi-aware of the brand. Their shaping apparel makes sense, as the close fit would handle the discrepancies between the much large top and the narrow hips I have. Makes sense. Now I never would have thought of that, but My Shape Knew!
Like this Hold-You-In pencil dress.

Usually I only manage to get a dress that fits my bust fine, by shoulders sloppily, and my hips like a loose sack. This is will be a VAST IMPROVEMENT!
That is just One Example!

It cost the same at My Shape and Amazon, yet at times there are discounts, I get an email about once a week with their current discounts. Eventually Shape fx clothing will be included in their discount at a time when I have a bit of $ left to spiffy up my look! Not likely this month, but eventually!

This is just one of the many brands and designers they recommend for me, based on my measurements and tastes.

More than discount, My Shape will tell me which size to order from Shape fx, and other makers, based on my measurements I gave them and their knowledge of these fashion lines.

See what I mean?

• Set up a My Shape Personal Shop
• You will learn what to shop in which size
• You will be alerted to sales and discounts
• Plus you will spend less time returning clothing that does not quite fit!

Make the resolution to let My Shape handle the best fitting apparel for YOU!

Happy New Years!

50% Off Plus Size Bras!

I have been finding lots of nice prices sale, and regular prices on large cup bras lately.
For sale prices on plus size bras it’s hard to beat Just My Size’s 50% Off sale below!
You will find lots of Playtex, 4 Glamorise and one Bali bra among Just My Size’s 50% off sale! I do not know how long this sale will last.

The above-mentioned Glamorise bras come in sizes up to 50, 56 and 58I and their posture bra comes in sizes up to 58J. I could use something like that, I feel slumped.
The Bali bras come in sizes 36 to 48B to DDThe of the one Playtex bras, the 18 Hour Original Comfort Strap Wirefree bra, come in sizes:

• 36B to DD
• 38 – 46B to G
• 48B – DDD
• 50 and 52C - DDD
• 54C – DD

I really do not have the time to check out all the Playtex bras, but the other ones I looked at seem to have a slightly, and just slightly, smaller size range.
I have always been intrigued by Playtex. After years of wearing the wrong size bras, band size too big, cup size too small, the old TV commercials saying about how their bras “lift and Separate” will likely remain etched in my mind. Even though I have enjoyed these qualities in the properly fitting bras I have been wearing in recent years, I am still stuck with that…
Or perhaps it is the prices?
At this half price sale
The Bali bras are $17.40
The Glamorise bras $18.50 to $25.20
The Playtex bras $16 to $18
Could be the prices, likely both though.

Thank you AquaMarine for source of Discount codes and T-Shirts

I have made much of wanting seamless large cup bras, essentially T-shirt bras. While checking out the site AquaMarine wrote us of for a source of, sometimes they work, sometimes not, (discount codes), just for the heck of it I took a code to The Gap. As I have been for some time now wishing I had more of than just the two T-shirts I found in the attic, they are stretch Gap T-shirts.

Thanks to my inadvertent exercise plan, I had lost a bit of weight, I guess about 12 to 15lbs, but I still wear a J cup size bra. I am wearing a Regular women’s size Large in Gap stretch t-shirts. Mine are 2% spandex, the rest cotton, theirs are, currently on sale for $12.50, rather than $16.50, are 5% spandex, the rest cotton. Good for winter, I imagine.

You could go to the gap via this Old Navy link below, where the Gap is at the top left, then try to use the RetailMeNot code given today “HOORAH” to get 25% off.


Or you, or I for that matter, (except my funds are tight, and my holiday shopping not quite done), Could take the Discount Codes link in the top paragraph, scroll down to find the gap, coupon and shop it from there.

In other words, I do not know if you have to go through their, Retail Me Not’s site to enjoy these savings with their code, or can apply them from anywhere on line?

But I am looking. Likewise this goes for the Bare Necessities code given, in my last post. It seems they do not post when these codes are good until, nor from where.

I can say that the Gap size large regular women’s t-shirt in 2% spandex fits a 165lb short women who wears a J cup size bra, being me. If you are comfy with the thickset look, which I am. I can also say, below 70 degrees, 2% spandex is good, comfy even, about 70 degrees, just too clammy.

Do you have a favorite T-shirt? Mine have varied over the years. Now it is the above mentioned.

Possibly 15% Off Full Figure Bras already on Sale, at 20% Off at Bare Necessities!

AquaMarine, one our readers sent this 15% off code in her comment RetaiMeNot09 for use at Bare Necessities. She said she used it to get a Panache tango large cup bra for just $36.04!! That is a great price for this bra! That is at its sale price, 20% off, until tomorrow, that I know of, and with an additional 15% off!

I don’t have anything except AquaMarine’s word on this, see blog reply of 12/11/09, but it could not hurt to try the code that worked for her, and, hopefully, get an additional 15% off!

Thank you AquaMarine!

Where did you get that code? Are there more discount codes like that?

Thank you Plus size nursing bras and Nicole Candy, Both the Sale and Outlet have plenty of Full Figure Bras at Great Prices!

Not much in the way of plus size sleepwear on sale in Bare Necessities’ Outlet, yet plenty of beautiful bras! Such as Fantrasie’s Savannah full figure bras and both of their Olivia plus size and large cup size bras at 50% off, but sizes are very limited.

The sale is better, in that the bras are available in more sizes, at 20% off!
Like these Elomi Caitlyn side support large cup bras for just $38 and available in many, if not all sizes 38 to 46DD to HH, and some smaller band and cup sizes!

Thank you Plus size nursing bras and Nicole Candy for your kind words regarding previous posts here!

I am sorry about being late on posting this sale.
I am, for the 3rd year in a row, deep in the heart of Homework problems with my, now, 4th grader. If you have, or will soon have, children in school, value your child’s and your own sanity, home life and you child’s education & love of learning, I’d suggest you read


I wish I read it years ago, before I got off on the wrong foot with my daughters’ teachers and principle. It is full of practical advice, and why you would want to use it info regarding getting less homework, and higher quality of the homework you child does receive.
That is why I did not post this sale sooner. Priorities. You know.

It seems if we want Seamless Large Cup Size Bras, we will have to Speak UP!

Well write more wearer reviews and perhaps if we blog about wanting seamless large cup bras in greater than an H cup sizes, that could help.

Based on Dr. Ujjwal’s, (of Plus Size Inform-Blog), response to my question on 12/2/09, regarding this: is it a fabric issue? No, they do not survey a wide enough variety of women. They fear investing $s in a product, larger than H cup seamless bras, as an example, then getting stuck with it.
Manufacturers do pay attention to public awareness blogs!

Le Mystere Dream Tisha full figure bras are on sale for $58 at Bigger Bras, making their discount to your right applicable. It is in stock in many sizes up to 44H.

I asked customer service (back in 8/1/08 blog post), at Bigger Bras about this and they told me bra manufacturers do read their customer reviews. That would be another place you would want to voice your opinions and wishes about bras!

It seems likely they read wearer reviews at all stores who buy their products. It should be, it would be an inexpensive survey like info source for them!

If you are a bra manufacture reading this:
Just check out how fast sizes like 34 to 38J bras sizes go out of stock at Bare Necessities, Fig leaves and Her Room sale and Clearance sections once they go on sale as discontinued colors.

I never did a daily study from when they first go on sale to when each size is out of stock. I do know that from the time I note them to the time I figure I can get one into my budget, say 3 weeks, my size is gone.

That is just in what is available! Even though the selection is getting better and better, I still want to see seamless full figure bras available in H to K cup sizes.

Is it just me? How about you?

Thank you Dr. Ujjwal you have a nice & informative Plus Size Information blog!

Dr Ujjwal commented on our post of 11/9/09 lately. His blog, Plus Size Inform-Blog has lots of practical information about fabrics, tailoring, as well as plus size cultural, I guess what you might call culture, fitness and psychology. He has encouraging articles about famous plus size models and celebrities. Just in case the skinny fashion world makes you feel less than lovely from time to time…

A question for Dr. Ujjwal:

Upon reading your profile and some of you blog, it is apparent you learned in textiles!

And you have noticed that I focus, largely, on one type of garment. That is because bras, especially full figure bras, and even more so large cup bras, tend to cost a fortune! Yet they last not very long. So I try to find us ladies who need them the best prices and new styles as I can.

The question:
Is there a problem getting a fabric that would accommodate a larger than H cup seamless large cup bra? Is that why we do not see them? If we do, as in the Elomi smoothing foam underwire bra, #EL1220, use to come in sizes up to 34J and 36K, not any more…

Do you suppose it is a fabric problem or a structure problem? Or something I, not a bra designer, would not think of?

Beautiful new silky style of Panache Large Cup Bras and Basques

So far I have only found Panache’s new Harlequin Hestia Balconnet large cup bras at Her Room in their ivory color


and this lingerie line’s beautiful basques below at Her Room, in ivory, and at Bravissimo, in black as well as ivory.


Bravissimo’s band sizes include 28DD to G, both stores have the basques and Her Room the bra in sizes 30 to 38D to G!
Click on theses bras pictures above to shop for them at Her Room. If you are using US currency, you’ll like the basque’s price better at Bravissimo, $91, as opposed to Her Room’s $129. Sadly, Bravissimo does not have the bra yet…

The basque, in black, might be just the thing to wear under this sensuous looking gown by Igigi.



I was playing around with a price comparison tool I put on our pages at Plus Size Women’s Clothing, it’s in the right column of all of its pages if you want to play with it too.

I clicked on Plus Size Lingerie, put either large cup, or full figure bras into their search engine and ran into a lingerie line I never heard of before:
Lavinia
They have large cup and plus size bras in sizes 32 to 44A to H.
They have lots of balcony push up bras and shelf bras in full figure sizes like this one below.

It comes in sizes 32 to 44D to E
Have you tried bras by Lavinia? If so, how are they?
