Once you\u2019ve got a beautiful bra that fits, it can be a struggle to find clothes to wear over it. If it fits in the bust, it erases your waist, and if it fits at the waist and shoulders, it\u2019s ready to burst across the chest. The advice people usually give in this situation is to buy things that fit the largest part of your body and have the rest of the garment tailored to fit. And yeah, that\u2019s an option, but who wants to have to do it all the time? Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to buy clothes that were designed with a full bust in mind? On Saturday, December 3rd, you can!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-511 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/FullSizeRender-4-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Look at that full skirt!\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/FullSizeRender-4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/FullSizeRender-4.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t yet heard, that\u2019s the day we\u2019re teaming up with our friends at Bolero Beachwear and Exclusively Kristen for a full bust apparel pop-up shop. We\u2019re pretty excited about it, because these ladies know the busty struggle, and it shows in their designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Bolero Beachwear<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patricia McCaw is the delightful designer behind <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bolerobeachwear.com\/\">Bolero Beachwear<\/a>. After years of working in costuming for television and theatre, Patricia struck out on her own and created Bolero. While it began as a beachwear business, the line has expanded to include gorgeous dresses that take their wearers from day to night and back again. If you\u2019ve read Sam\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/bolero-beachwear-review\/\">review<\/a> of the Erica wrap dress, you\u2019re already aware of what Bolero can do. (If you haven\u2019t read it, spoiler: Sam fell truly, madly, deeply in love.) All of Patricia\u2019s pieces are made of materials that are easy to care for and wrinkle resistant, which makes them ideal for travel. And if you\u2019re someone who has more of a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=floordrobe\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">floordrobe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> situation, Bolero\u2019s dresses stand up to that too!

Kristen has been an entrepreneur since she started her first business at the age of nine, and she was wearing a D cup bra by age twelve. So it was only natural that one day she\u2019d bring all of that experience together! Exclusively Kristen is all about clothing designed for busty women, by busty women. Made in the USA, Kristen\u2019s clothes show a smart attention to detail: button spacing, fabric choice, and princess seams combine to make the perfect button-down shirt. (Yep, you read that right. Busty women can wear button-downs too!) We\u2019ve carried two of these styles for a few months now, and they\u2019re just dreamy. No gaping, no buttons popping, and they actually acknowledge that you\u2019ve got a waist!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopping while busty can be a hassle, but trust us: it\u2019s not you, it\u2019s the clothes.
