2011Bra Shopping
Another first for me… I went to a lingerie store and picked out a couple of bras to try on.
Normally, I shop in department stores for this kind of thing, and just make a guess, then take them home and try them and return them if necessary. Also, I usually let GF pay, so she can be the one to return them.
Anyway, there was a cute girl dressed in the lingerie store’s own PJ’s in charge of the fitting area. As I approached, she asked me how many items I had, and then, noting the bras, asked their size. Thereafter, she escorted me to my change room, telling me that she had been trained in fitting bras, and would be only to happy to check the fit for me once I had tried them on.
I smiled at her and nodded, hoping I wouldn’t have to endure any further helpfulness from her and thanking my lucky stars that she seemed to have no idea about my abject poverty in the mammary department.
As it happens, those 38Bs were perfectly shaped and sized – to adhere to my chest whichever way I moved – with a healthy dose of padding in the cup.
As I may mentioned in the past, I have more or less dispensed with breast forms, finding that they make me feel a bit false. They kinda went out with the wig, and for similar reasons. So, copiously padded bras are my preference now, and I have two lovely new ones!
One might have been enough, but it was buy one, get one at 50% off… what’s a girl to do?

Gosh! I’m feeling quite fake. I did say as much in one of photo narratives. ‘Daphne Broon’ was the caption – it means nothing to you but the Scots will know what I mean.
We are all so lucky to have such luxuriant curly hair. Flat chest – looks good on you. I had a female personal assistant who was totally flat chested – exactly like you in your leotards – and short brunette hair. She was cute. – Fiona xx

Not meant to denigrate the experience of anyone who does differently than I do, just my own personal feelings. Anyway, Fiona, you’re the real thing – that much is plain!

Ahhh, the fitting room in a fine boutique, your homing beacon brought you home finally!
Next time, let the lady with the tape join you and settle in for a nice little chit chat. Honestly, those are wonderful moments. Bring the GF and have a nice intimate giggle-fest.
Such privilege m’dear, delighted you shared with us.
xoxo – Petra

Ah, Petra, but you must be bolder than I am. I may fool many people much of the time, but a woman with fitting me for a bra is bound to realize something about me that, especially in that context, may very well cause her discomfort, and my own discomfort is bound to follow shortly thereafter. Perhaps I am missing out on something, but the way I handicap things, it is more likely unpleasantness than a wonderful moment.
