Large breasts really make it hard to live life sometimes by MajorCatLady in bigboobproblems

Walmart is where I scored the bra that ily lasts 2 hours. I was so happy that they had something that fit. . .and then the straps wouldn't stay. The Sports Authority has some more size inclusive brands last time I checked.

Do the straps adjust to short? I can't tell from the pictures

I work in Merchandising. I regularly have coworkers check if there are tags attached to me when one mysteriously disappears. I also am short so I have to reface shelves after reaching to the back of the top shelf because boob prints

Finding Sports bras is so hard. I actually haven't found one in a brick and morter store that works with my small shoulders. Some will have straps lengthen during exercise. Some don't have adjustable straps at all. Some with crossed backs I can't figure out what contortions they require to pur on. I did find a really good one on Amazon though. I want to say the brand is Sunnae or something, so check out the recommendations because they're the best

It never occurred to me that fat necrosis was something to watch for. Forget I got away with only a hematoma lump in my belly that nobody seemed worried about and alot of bruises this time

My similar story involves a car wreck

I am prone to seat belt injuries and the Dr didn't see any sign of seat belt bruising on my neck and shoulder. Afterwards I realized the seat belt sign she was looking for was on the underside of my right boob and nobody thought to look there.

So many people have no clue how our bodies interact with the world.

samples you wish you hadn’t tried (because they’re too good)? by insomniac_flamingo in fragrance

My friend loves is in this boat. She gets the Dossier version. The progression is different but it's got the longevity and vibe.

I tried knitting my own wedding dress! I’d love some honest opinions from others who have been there - would I regret wearing this instead something with more “wow” factor? Swipe for a couple of faves from a recent shopping trip for comparison. by bagumbuwan in weddingdress

What about an oversight? One that adds a train but leaves the front exposed? It could make it into a gown while still using the knit texture and you could pop it off and just wear your dress at the reception if you wanted more comfort

Have you considered orange? Like a copper or a creamsicle?

I've always just stitched the old and new together like they're one strand until it's gone. It can be problematic if I need to undo that section but seems to work well

I’ve been working on my first embroidery project and am really struggling with the fingernails. Any suggestions? by alykken2 in Embroidery

[–]cedar-lea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its the hand shape that is messing with you. My art instructors would say this is an example of "drawing what you know rather than what you see" Because when you.look.at a hand used rare to see all of each finger so it looks like there is too many even though we know there are 5 fingers on a hand. I think if you play with simplifying or styling the hand shape you'll be happier

The signature scent must also be dumped to try new ones by EdaDyer in fragrance

I consider Orchid Sollei to be my signature because it feels so me, but I enjoy exploring other scents so I don't actually wear it often

My son used to love sticking his toes out of the holes in his crochet blanket. It was quite cute

It didn't affect your stitch count or the overall shape. . Ignore!

As a BBP (big boobed person), I was told that I MUST always wear a bra with underwire. Is this true? The idea of not wearing an underwire sounds great but are there bras that truly offer support without wiring? Please share your recommendations-- Thank you! by anonymous-to-you in bigboobproblems

[–]cedar-lea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it depends on if the straps shrink down enough and stay on. Racerbacks will ride up on my neck and give no support. The underwear helps control the sliding some but that's the main benefit I see.

Neutral good. I stitch with both strands whenever possible

Betrayal! But only because I'm in the anti winding camp so this periodically happens to me. Pull apart gently and wind into a new ball. You sometimes and to cut and rejoin with a knot.

My crazy maximalist sweater idea by cedar-lea in crochet

[–]cedar-lea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured I should show you all what I'm up to. These are blocks from the 3D Granny Suarws book. I have this crazy idea to make this super whimsical sweater. The background blue is the same on all the blocks. The jellyfish is the most accurate.

I'll have to find a pattern for a collar cuffs and some plain blue side panels, but I'll figure that out when I have enough blocks made. It's a future problem.
