vanillafluffyAnother package from GK arrived today, this one a box of thrifted goodies. She knows what I like, has a good idea of my sizes, and keeps an eye out for things when she goes thrifting.
This haul yielded two bras, 44DD. Alas, they don't fit. When last measured (January), I was 46DD. Yes, it fits snugly, but surprisingly, the real problem is the cups. I can handle underwire, but the contoured, foam-lined cups are made of fail. The right side is vastly too big, while the left side runneth over. I'm afraid I've been spoiled by Cacique, which are infinitely more forgiving of my off-kilter clevage.
However, the dress more than makes up for the dispointment of the bras. The dress is 57 varieties of awesome. It's chiffon over microfiber, a tawny leopard print, faux-wrap waistline, 3/4 chiffon sleeves. I don't like the sleeves, but consider that to be a fixable detail.
Oh look---I found a picture:
I think I'm going to wear it with a wide black belt for more definition. Depending on where I'm going, I have black or brown flats to pair it with, OR leopard print heels.
Oh, and did I mention---it's a size 24?!
