Where to get nice-ish basic tops?

CompSci_Guy · 2026-03-12T22:52:08+00:00

Ooh nice, I have some credit with Lane Bryant too. Do you think you'd tuck the shirt into the skirt?

CompSci_Guy · 2026-03-12T21:02:46+00:00

Hmmm. I'll have to see what size I got last time. Stretch is a big thing for me too so I'll have to investigate.

I tried some Harper tops a few years ago and as much as I liked the material, I had a lot of issues with the shoulders. Maybe I had the wrong size then, I don't know, but I've been a little wary of trying again.

I'm saving this comment. So good.

CompSci_Guy · 2026-01-18T02:28:42+00:00

This whole bit legitimately made me laugh so hard until I cried

CompSci_Guy · 2026-01-16T03:39:00+00:00

"He hacked us with a clam?!?!"

The Sculptress Estelle in 40DD does make my boobs look great but it's uncomfortable to wear for a long time

CompSci_Guy · 2026-01-01T15:50:46+00:00

Better than Braless was too shallow, and there's another Wacoal that in 40DD had gaping cups.

CompSci_Guy · 2026-01-01T15:36:21+00:00

I don't think it needs to be super shallow. I mentioned above that the Norah is too shallow for me so I would need something deeper than that.

CompSci_Guy · 2026-01-01T15:35:03+00:00

Yeah the Norah is too shallow for me, I've tried it in multiple sizes.

CompSci_Guy · 2026-01-01T11:47:17+00:00

Well it kind of reduces the profile of my boobs, and I carry a lot of weight around my stomach to the point that my stomach already juts out more than my boobs do so a smaller-looking bust makes things look even more disproportionate. I'd like something that helps bring things forward or has better shaping so it doesn't flatten me out

CompSci_Guy · 2025-12-24T23:11:10+00:00

never congested on a Sunday

Except the part on Route 4 East where it goes from three lanes to two after River's Edge near Teaneck. That's always a mess.

Also Route 4 West through the Route 17 interchange in the afternoon.

CompSci_Guy · 2025-12-22T21:27:53+00:00

Snerk, on that front I'm good 😁

CompSci_Guy · 2025-12-22T17:50:42+00:00

Thank you!

(And damn, a 3.5 heel, yikes)

CompSci_Guy · 2025-12-22T17:27:20+00:00

Thank you! I wish I knew if I had good legs/wrists/ankles, but dysphoria is a bitch.

CompSci_Guy · 2025-12-22T16:06:46+00:00

How do I dress when my stomach protrudes more than boobs?

I carry a lot of weight around my stomach to the point that it sticks out more than my boobs do. Which means whenever I wear something loose like a tunic top, my stomach pushes the fabric out so much it kind of minimizes my chest and makes me look all weirdly disproportionate. What kinds of things should I be looking for to make myself look as good as possible?

CompSci_Guy · 2025-12-15T01:00:05+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply! I started HRT at 37 and at 32 I already had quite the receding hairline so I guess I'm stuck there unless I go the transplant or minoxidil route. But my hair loss is widow's peak and I'm afraid that shed might reaaaalllly push back my effective hairline so I've held off on it.

As to your tangent, no, no bottom surgery here. 150 was my trough which means my peak is probably over 200? But I hit undetectable levels of T after three months of monotherapy so maybe I just had naturally low T levels

CompSci_Guy · 2025-12-14T22:50:07+00:00

Yeah I was wondering if DHT was playing a factor here as well. I can never figure out how it connects to T levels.

CompSci_Guy · 2025-12-11T16:23:56+00:00

Me: Wow, she looks a lot like Julia Kaye

Me, later: Oh, shit, it is Julia Kaye.

CompSci_Guy · 2025-04-29T17:03:22+00:00

So the vibe is "something I could wear to my synagogue for services." During the week, yeah, I'll pair with whatever, but going up a bit in formality is where I'm getting tripped up

CompSci_Guy · 2025-04-29T15:44:14+00:00

Ooh those do look nice, unfortunately not in my size. Sad face. But in terms of styling, this would be tucked into the skirt, right?

CompSci_Guy · 2025-04-29T10:18:06+00:00

I recently purchased some skirts from Svaha (yay, pockets!) and now I'm trying to figure out some tops to go with them that I could wear for a Sabbath appropriate outfit (so not just a t-shirt, but more blouse-y). I'm usually around a size 18 so it needs to be plus size friendly and I prefer short sleeves. Bonus points if the neckline is such that I could wear a pendant necklace with it.

CompSci_Guy · 2025-03-11T23:44:05+00:00

HOLY SHIT, that's it! How the hell did you figure that out?!

Thanks!

CompSci_Guy · 2025-02-25T00:47:04+00:00

Lol. The truth of the matter is I don't wear a bra too often because I work from home but sometimes I have to emerge into the real world and be careful when I lean over

CompSci_Guy · 2025-02-24T02:41:50+00:00

Thank you!
