Buying clothes when you’re busty can be a complicated endeavour. If something fits in the bust, it\u2019s too big through the shoulders and midsection. And if it fits your shoulders and shows off your waist, the fabric strains to cover your boobs. So we find workarounds: settle for tops with lots of stretch, layer camisoles under everything, and carry safety pins at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s got to be a better way!<\/span><\/h4>\n

In my dream world, we would all have custom made clothes and everything would fit us perfectly. Sadly, we don\u2019t live there. But we\u2019ve got the next best thing: full bust-friendly clothing. And your responses to our end of year survey were clear. You want more of it! So we\u2019re answering the call.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bolero Beachwear and Exclusively Kristen<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019ve shopped with us before, you might already be familiar with these designers<\/a>. As the name hints, Bolero<\/a>\u00a0began as a beachwear business and has since expanded to include beautiful dresses for everyday. Bolero\u2019s pieces are made in the USA using materials that are easy to care for and wrinkle resistant, which makes them ideal for travel. Our favourite style right now is the Erica wrap dress, which actually wraps – no safety pin or modesty cami required. Plus, it has pockets! (Read Sam\u2019s love letter of a review here<\/a>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Exclusively Kristen<\/a> is all about clothing designed for busty women, by busty women. Designer Kristen Allen was wearing a D cup bra by age twelve, so she knows the busty struggle! Made in the USA, Exclusively Kristen uses smart button spacing and princess seams to create the perfect button-down shirt. Yep, you read that right. That classic wardrobe staple can finally be yours! And thanks to Kristen\u2019s clever design, you won\u2019t have to worry about any popped buttons or gaping.<\/span><\/p>\n

Urkye<\/span><\/h4>\n

When you asked us to amp up our clothing selection, Urkye<\/a> had to be the next addition. Their stuff comes all the way from Poland (like a certain favourite lingerie brand<\/a>) but it\u2019s so worth the wait. Our first order has practically flown out of the shop!<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re starting with three styles: a sweetheart tank, a wrap top, and a wrap tank. The styles are alluring enough in themselves, but what really makes Urkye great is their two-step sizing system: each piece is sized for a waist measurement and a bust measurement. Translated into North American sizing, this means their tops are available in sizes small to extra large, and each of <\/span>those<\/span><\/i> sizes has a \u201cbusty\u201d and a \u201csuper busty\u201d option. So maybe you\u2019re a size medium, super busty. Or a size extra large, busty. Either way, Urkye\u2019s got you covered – literally!<\/span><\/p>\n

When clothes are designed for bigger boobs, there\u2019s no more pulling across your chest, and no more revealing more than you intended. You get to have a defined waist, and shoulder seams that actually hit your shoulders! Full-bust clothing means never settling for a tent just to accommodate your boobs. Because alterations are great, but clothing that fits without them is even better.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
