You will find lots of full figure and large cup size bras at Bare Necessities’ Memorial Day weekend sale. Many of them will be on sale in their discontinued colors…(For years I have recommended Bare Necessities for this especially.)

So much so with this sale, that if you use their Memorial Day Sale at BareNecessities.com. Savings Starting at 25% Off! Exclusions apply, ends 06.01.10 to go to the sale, you might just as well click on the Shop the Sale by you Bra Size option, on your left after you scroll down a bit.

This, on sale for $55, dress / top is 95% rayon 5% spandex, is also available in all sizes.
icon
icon
But this 100% rayon one shoulder dress is sold out in size 1X, and is $38.40 at this sale.
icon
icon
I’ve taken an interest in Rayon clothing because…

Not only do I really use the info in wearer reviews, I am apparently alos interested in what fictional characters recommend!

As the author of the Dexter books, Jeff Lindsay, lives in Miami I guess I take it seriously when his character Dexter recommends Rayon shirts for Miami weather.
I believe it was mentioned in the first book, Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)

Yeah, I am still open to all the suggestions given on how to beat the heat!


I believe one of my favorite summer blouses of the past was 100% rayon, that helped also encourages me to pursue this!

Do you have any experience with rayon clothing?

Anyway, the 20% off Apple Bottoms’ Pretty Young Thing sale ends 5/25, so take advantage of it soon!

My Most Excellent Half Price Large Cup Size Bra Purchase from an eBay Seller Experience!

Fastest way to judge how this worked: I did it again, before even writing this!

Last Wed, 5/12/10, I ordered a bra I wanted, in its buttermilk color for years. I even watched it go out of stock everywhere in that color. Now I am wearing the Fantasie’s Mariette bra, #6102, you see below, but in that color, in a size 34J, for just $32.90. That includes shipping and handling! Update 5/21/10: If you like, you can read Fantasie Mariette full figure bras to find out why they have excellent reviews and my wild enthusiasm for them, now that I have worn mine for two days.

Because I brought it at Curves Lingerie by Chamousey and received it just yesterday, 5/17/10.
You can purchase it at Bigger Bras below for $78, in its up to J cup size, or for just $62 in its up to 40G cup sizes, (Fantasie #6103), at Her Room, Fig leaves for $62 and from $43.40, some colors and sizes, to $62 at Bigger Bras.
in bra sizes 32 - 40 GG; 32 - 38 H, HH, J
True it only costs $41.80 at Bravissimo today, but that is before shipping and handling, and its still more than I paid!

I purchased this bra above for 21.49 British pounds which came to $32.90, that is with shipping and handling.

Before writing this, I ordered a Fantasie’s Kara large cup bra in size 34JJ this time from Belle Lingerie.
That cost me 23.44 pounds, which turned out to be $34.79, the price with shipping.

As a rough estimate, it appears that if I add approx. $11.50 to the British pound price that will be my approx us price, at a bra costing around 20 lbs, with shipping and handling!

Below is Fantasie’s Kara bra, at Bigger Bras, in size 34JJ. This bra got a great review from a woman who wears a JJ cup bra. Oh yes, I really do use those reviews!
30 - 40 GG; 30 - 38 H, HH, J, JJ, K
This bra is $84 at Bigger Bras in sizes up to 40GG and 38K, $74 in smaller cup sizes up to 40D to G. It is the same price at Her Room, and Figleaves, (but Bigger Bras does have their usual 10% discount on their pages), where it gets excellent reviews!
Mine will cost $34.79. Hey you can do this too!

I ordered it in Mocha color and went with JJ because, the cups on the Fantasie bra I am now wearing, from Chamousey, at 34J are a bit too small. I have been wearing Panache bras for years now. So far, it could be Fantasie cup sizes are a tad smaller?

Last time I wore Fantasie bras, the band sizes were a full size bigger, but I have not read complaints about this in their bras reviews lately, so I went with the 34 and it seems perfect, or exactly like a Panache 34!

At this rate, I will have a fresh bra for every day of the week even if I don’t get around to washing any for 8 days!

Now the real way to save $ on these bras is to get them at auction at eBay sellers:

Fantasie’s Cally bras are among Bigger Bras top ten Customer Favorites Fantasie bras! The strapless version is on sale at Figleaves, $25, in sizes up to 38D in vanilla color.

Bigger Bras has it, below, in sizes up to 30JJ and 32J, for just $59 and in sizes up to 42DD for just $52
some sizes left between 32 - 42 DD

Alternatively, I could bid on this bra in size 34JJ, in a confetti pink color, with a shipping rate of 3 pounds.

That bid ends in 3 hours! There are three of these in stock, all new, with tags. All bids end in 3+ hours. Currently these bids are starting at 2.20, to 4.20 British pounds.

So I bid and it appears I am in a bidding war, I guess it is called…
I will let you know how that went tomorrow, I am up to trying to out bid the current top bid of 4.20 pounds.

And I have never done this before,

But at this rate, even if I bid up to, well it would not be right to post it I guess,

but I believe I could easily end up going from a woman with, soon to be 8 good fitting, supportive bras that I am happy with, to one with, and matching panties!

I will let you know how this goes!

15% off Figleaves brands of Full Figure Bras

Reminder, this is the last day to get Le Mystere Full Fit and Large Cup Bras at 50% off at Bare Necessities, (for now). Read our last post to find out how!

Figleaves has 5 lingerie lines that have either plus size, or large cup size bras. You can read a bit about each at the top of our full figure bras page. Until the end of May you can take 15% off Figleaves’ brand lingerie, (or Figleaves brand anything), by using code fig15usa.

While Figleaves brand bras, so far as I can find, come in sizes up to 42FF, 36GG and 38G, they are all inexpensive compared to the usual large cup size bras and designer plus size and full figure bra styles. Their Midnight Grace and Butterfly Blue lingerie lines especially aim for chic and flirty, but with support. They have rich colors and vivid prints and attention to details!

This Anemone underwire balconette bra, from their Midnight Grace line is a fine example of the above. It comes in 32 to 38D to G, has 3 reviews with a five star average. And is just $36, before the discount!
icon
icon
The Midnight Grace intimates collection also has maternity bras. Matching panties & / or thongs are generally available and some styles even have garter belts, chemise a Basques.

So far as I know, this 15% off discount also should apply to the Figleaves brand items in their outlet store!

For instance, now you will find this Gardenia underwire bra by Midnight Blue still available in seven sizes from 3232F to 38FF, at $16 off in Fig leaves Outlet. You can likely apply their 15% off discount to that too!
Click on its picture to see all the styles currently in the outlet from Figleaves Midnight Grace intimates line.

I will explore and write here about other Fig leaves intimates in full figure and large cup sizes as the month goes on!

Thank you Samantha & Bentenchosayonara for your comments!

Thank you for commenting on our Did ABC and Fox have a double standard post! I could not agree with you more! I also find some things about this interesting:

Mention of Fox’s Family Guy show. I watch a lot of FOX TV, I figure The Family Guy’s Peter Griffin has to be the most sexually confident character ever! I guess that is easy for a cartoon character…
For some reason, perhaps because in my life, I have been involved with heavy than slender men, I am still amazed that people, at least in advertising apparently, do see full figure women, or men, as attractive and sexy.

I am not surprised that once again Igigi helps lead the way with beautiful styles and thoughtful and percept ideas! Still love that Celebrate your Curves though!
Check out Yuliya Raquel’s, (Igigi’s creator), perspective on size and beauty below!


Here is a link to Igigi’s, now many, lovely videos, which should encourage us all, good music on plenty of them too!
icon
icon

And just because my daughter and I love it, and you might not have caught it the last time I posted it… and talking TV any way… Garcia Rules!


Yes there is something sexy and generally attractive about confidence. Given the general attitude about full figure people in this society, lets take all the encouragement we can get, enjoy and share it!

I would like an opinion, if you have a moment:

Should a 5foot 1.5 inch short woman wear Capri pants?

I have resisted for years, feeling like, oh yeah, what I really need here is a horizontal line? I doubt it but...

What do you think?

Anyway, this 40% off discount is just good for today!
