(A substantial increase over the last 20 years.) I have no difficulty finding my size anywhere in North America. In France it'a considered on the large size, but mostly, I am limited only by budget :)<br /><br />I have an acquaintance who lives most of the time in Japan and she has to order everything by mail or stock up when she travels back here.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-72601737871504120472016-11-16T21:31:09.686-05:002016-11-16T21:31:09.686-05:00Highly recommend Empreinte Atelier for beautiful l...Highly recommend Empreinte Atelier for beautiful lingerie for larger busted women.

But some of the best larger-cup bras brands like Freya are European so they must be sold there. I should also mention Cadolle, known for bespoke but also carry rtw.<br /><br />Susan: I have never know a man unmoved by lingerie (and I do not mean the really out there stuff) but it seems you have the outlier. Anyway, wear it for your own pleasure.<br /><br />hostess: Now I'm gonna wear it!Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-54211406244947946942016-11-15T20:45:41.025-05:002016-11-15T20:45:41.025-05:00I have always been a little sad that my husband st...I have always been a little sad that my husband stated, early on, that he cares nothing about lingerie. I always wanted to wear something wonderful and feminine. But I had no one to appreciate it. Perhaps I could have done it just for myself but, being so practical, I never did. I KNOW it is not too late and have enjoyed your post.

Another name to add to my growing list of places I will visit when I get to Paris.<br /><br />Here in Toronto, I've had good experiences going to a shop called Secrets from Your Sister which has excellent bra fittings and a great range of brands. Amazing how expensive a good bra can be but so worth it for the support...both physical and emotional. I've tried the matching panties route but it wasn't for me, I didn't like the fit or the way I looked. So I stick with basics.LauraHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402103522466794364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-60017421979044324542016-11-15T08:16:50.806-05:002016-11-15T08:16:50.806-05:00I really appreciate the availability of beautiful ...I really appreciate the availability of beautiful full-support bras in Paris. Laure Sokol is great. I even bought a bathing suit there. My "inner woman" feels special when she knows that she is wearing a matched set of Empreinte or Prima Dona lingerie.Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.com
