It is every girl's dream to have large boobs! Women have invested billions specifically to breast augmentation in the plastic surgery industry. You don't even have to be wealthy- today I heard one of the girls from Teen Mom2 (one who was living in a car) say that she was thinking about a boob job! Ample breasts are a coveted dream by all except those who have it- those like myself.
When you love fashion, DD's are quite problematic. Dainty, feminine silhouettes and soft sheer fabrics can look like hooker-garb when draped over mountainous mammaries. Unless you're wearing a large box (or tailor all your garments by a pricey specialist) a simple shirt at work can be a peep show with gaping holes between buttons.
The world has recognized our plight and a bunch of products have come out to help us out with being able to rock all the popular fashion trends with ease. Some shirts come with secret buttons which button on the inside between the buttons on the shirt facade. That seems to be working well. Also, a lot more brands, like Victoria Secret to name one, are making not only attractive bras in larger cup-sizes, but even swimwear! So no longer will I be scaring children (nor attracting their hungry baby siblings) on the beach!
The biggest challenge lies in the dreaded backless garment. An exposed back is so sexy. Hilary Swank's plunging asymmetrical navy Guy Laroche dress that she wore to the 2005 Academy Awards was a monumental fashion statement. It could be one of the sexiest yet still quite sophisticated dresses to ever walk any red carpet. Why can't I have a moment like that?! So I tried a thing.

Yesterday I played over fass and wore a dress with a very low back and strap detail that draped over the exposed shoulder blades. So beautiful! I tried my Maidenform Lo-back bra converter straps, but they wouldn't go low enough, plus they took away from my bra's support and also dug into the skin around my belly. Since they don't make Nu bras in my size nor have I encountered a backless bra (yet) that can fit me, I decided to go with a pair of Free bra adhesives. Basically it is a sticker that you shape and place over yourself to create support and modesty.

They did the trick! I was very confident strutting to Simply Runway at Grand Bazaar and then to a fashion meeting with some very chic ladies. Compliments galore! Was feeling great until the stinging began. As gravity kicked in the stickers were being pulled off slowly- like the worse Band-Aid ever made. After many bathroom visits where I could discreetly assess my plight, I surrendered to the reality that when I get home (which at this point could never be soon enough) I would be peeling this "bra" off together with some skin. As the hours went by this thing got worse. Not only was all the support gone, but the discomfort was unbearable and the fear and reluctance to go home and skin myself, was creating major anxiety.
So if you have full bosoms and a curvy body, just say goodbye to the loose backless sheaths. We can't have everything. At least we have cleavage. I don't know if that's a sufficient enough consolation prize.
By the way, when I finally got them off (after a PAINFUL 15 mins of peeling away a millimetre at a time and throwing body powder and spraying dry shampoo on myself, I only ended up with minor bruises. Still- not worth it though.
I'm having a dress custom made by Van de Vlugt, with careful boning and lining so that I can attempt this bold bra-lessness once more. I'll keep you posted on if this works. In which case, Darcel will become very popular with the big boobied ladies.
