I have always had a problem with finding dresses and tops with sufficient boob room for my big breasts. So many items would look lovely if only they had more coverage over my chest. It's not a good look to have one's bra showing but in order to make sure this did not happen I have previously had to opt for high necklines, which I am not a great fan of, or sizing up to fit my boobs, meaning that the fit elsewhere was oversized and baggy.
Fairly early on in my boob-clothing journey I found that I could wear a thin vest underneath tops and dresses to cover my modesty. However, this meant wearing an extra layer and in warmer months or in centrally heated environments this could be pretty uncomfortable. It also changes the appearance of clothing as the neckline looks very different but at least it meant I didn't have to settle for poorly fitting clothing any more.

Fashion World Legroom 'Wear Two Ways' Boots E Fit
Last month, I was approached by Fashion World to take part in a fabulous bloggers' challenge. We were asked to pair their fantastic new Legroom 'Wear Two Ways' Boots with some jeans and to show how the boots work with different outfits.
The fab Legroom Wear Two Ways Boots are absolutely ingenious. They look like regular knee high boots - and pretty fab ones at that as they feature an elasticated back panel to allow for wider calves (like mine!) - but with a quick unzip and unbuckle at the ankle they are converted to on-trend ankle boots!

The Dollydagger VIP Shopping Experience
Last week, I was fortunate enough to be invited to a very special evening. A handful of bloggers were specially selected to taste the Dollydagger VIP Shopping Experience at their Brighton boutique so I headed coastbound just as fast as my car would carry me!

DDatelier Wrap Tie Top in Purple
A little while ago, I stumbled upon a new (for me, at least!) boob friendly clothing line. DDatelier are based in Russia and aim to provide mainstream sized ladies with clothing options to fit and flatter their hourglass figure. They have been in business for five years, selling their clothing to bustacious Russian ladies. The English version of their website only launched in September 2012 so it shows how keen the brand is to spread the word about what they do.
Like Pepperberry, Urkye and BiuBiu, DDatlier joins a growing area of the market which I feel has not yet been fully embraced. There are huge gaps in the market for women like me who are on the extremes of the sizing charts and I am longing for a company to come along and meet my needs.

Curvy Kate Caribbean Curves Bikini
A little while ago I won three Curvy Kate sets because I was the winner of their 'Name The Bra'
competition for their 'Smoothie' bra. Initially, I tried the three
Showgirl sets (Tempt Me, Thrill Me and Tease Me), all of which were
gorgeous undies but sadly all the bras were far too small for me in
the cup.
Curvy Kate very kindly let me try some
swimwear this time around and I was able to test drive the items on
my recent holiday to Spain.
Now, if you regularly read my blog, you
will be familiar with my struggle to find a CK bra that fits me in
the cup. It appears that a 32KK or even L would be the best size but
even if they made these sizes – they go up to a K cup, amazing! –
I think the wires would be way too wide as the cups are unfortunately
not deep enough for my boobs in smaller sizes. Despite this, I was
keeping everything crossed that the bikinis would work for me.
A while back I talked about bikinis and
how I find I can often size down because the material is far more
stretchy than that of regular bras. I even just about managed to
cram myself into a 32H Freya bikini recently!
The first set I wore on holiday was the
Caribbean Curves bikini top and matching shorts.
