Itty bitty and OK with it (sort of)
Bra shopping has always been a personal struggle for moi. To be delicate, I have an undersized chest. Translation: I practically swim in Victoria's Secret's smallest underwires. I've often been tempted to go sports-bra-only for life. If it wasn't for the Calvin Klein outlet's heroin-chic bras (thanks for everything, Kate Moss), I would have taken the 100% cotton plunge a long time ago.
Even so, my whole lingerie drawer is stuffed with boring colors and shapes. Oooh, beige. Black. Light pink. Settle down!
I recently read about Itty Bitty bras, a whole company dedicated to making couture bras and camisoles for the chest-challenged. The phrase "Itty Bitty" is a little hard to swallow — it's somewhat belittling, no? — but I'll set my pride aside to jump for joy. No gaping. No odd puffiness. What a dream.
I'll have to wait until my cute polka-dot bra comes in the mail to make my final judgment on Itty Bitty. Have you tried this line yet, dear Stylephilers?
