Happy Fitting Tip Thursday Swimwear and Lingerie friends.
I think I’ve found a very convincing scenario for everyone this week. So, without further ado, and with our traditional, grateful nod in Jeff Foxworthy’s general direction, let’s get right down to it!
{deep breath… flicky, flicky thing with the hands, while I jump up and down and get into character… annoying, gargley sounding throat-clearing, out of the way, rapid blink to center myself and feel the role….}

Warm up exercises
If you haven’t seen the inside of a lingerie department or bra boutique since the Playtex Cross Your Heart Bra was the newest and hottest technology,

Playtex Cross Your Heart Bra: Undeniable sex appeal here...right?
…and the last time you removed your shirt in front of another person, lover, partner, spouse, friend, pet, Fed Ex delivery person, pool boy, mirror, blind masseuse attendant, doctor or police for-the-strip-search-they-insist-on-because-clearly-you’re-transporting-illegal-exotics-into-the-country-within-the-cavernous-bowels-of-your-older-than-dirt-over-the-shoulder-boulder-{and, impossibly super-cute spider monkey} holder…

Monkey in bra...wait no! That's not what I meant at all!
…they ran screaming from the room, babbling about seeing the next signifier of the oncoming zombie apocalypse in the many folds, wrinkles and puckers of your way-too-huge-and-floppy bra…

Hey! Zombies are people too! We all need to feel pretty sometimes...
…and the squirm-tastic appearance of a freakish new hybrid between Magda from There’s Something About Mary…
…and the always alluring Crypt Keeper.

The Crypt Keeper: More wrinkles than an elephant's hemorrhoids
All together now {with feeling!}
You might need a bra fitting! Please for the love of lace… just take a chance and go… the results can be surprisingly positive and “uplifting”! {my humble apologies for that hideous pun… but ya gotta give me one every so often… you wouldn’t believe all the ones I hold back!}

We can't make it any more clear... it's time to admit you may need a different size!
Seriously, there’ve been some advances in the last 40 years!
Cheers,
Maggie




Horrible recent realisation that I’d been wearing the wrong sized bras for 10 years – my expression of shock and dismay was similar by that displayed when faced with the squirm-tastic vision of Magda’s boobs.
Get yourselves measured ladies!!!!
Say it loud and say it proud Sistah! Amazing what it does for the figure isn’t it? I gained a rib cage and a waist!
Cheers,
Maggie
Hey Maggie! Wanted to follow up on this! Got measured again as my bras started feeling odd and they are actually 34DD and so I went and splurged on a BUNCH of gorgeous bras that now fit me perfectly!! I too have a rib cage I didn’t know could be seen
Thanks!
Claire
Hey! That’s really great news Claire! Congratulations on the rib cage, it’s always nice to discover isn’t it? I find a well fit bra also shows off the waist that much better and elongates the torso! Glad you went for a fitting, now spread the joy and tell your friends to do it too!
Cheers,
Maggie
