rivkaDamn it, a D-cup is just not that large.
Wait, let me back up. See, I've been wearing the same bathing suit for... gosh, probably six or seven years. It's a nice navy blue-and-turquoise tank from Land's End, with a batik fish on the front. I like it, it's comfortable, it fits.
It's lost.
I searched the house a couple of times, and finally decided to buy a new suit. I wanted to stick with Land's End, because their suits are high quality and because they're careful enough about keeping sizes the same that it's reasonable to order online. But it turns out that they offer precisely four suits in a D-cup, including two hideous flowered monstrosities and one which shows no cleavage whatsoever. (My cleavage is supposed to be my strong point, so that hardly works.) Fortunately, they also list this, which is downright fetching. Nice pattern, flattering halter top, perfect choice.
On backorder, due in July 25. Damn.
Look, a D-cup is a very common size. Scads of American women wear D-cup bras, and surely some of them want to go swimming. Right? Right? What's with the tiny selection, damn it? It makes me feel like Dolly Parton or something. "Oooh, she's a special challenge to fit."
I told Michael that I'd rather not go swimming all summer than go to a department store to try on bathing suits. Especially not now that I'm feeling like my perfectly reasonably-sized tits are freakishly and abnormally large. Damn it.

Date: 2004-06-11 07:31 am (UTC)And I have just accepted that I have to pay $60 for a bra, and never get to wear combination foundation garments. Or anything strapless. Sulk.
I'm glad the invaluable Misha found your suit, though.
