The biddies might not be so bad without an audience! Yes, I admit I just need to suck it up (and maybe suck it in too) and go back when it’s not quite so crowded and stressful.

Only the Frederick's of Hollywood-style fashions were browsable. And, yes, I wrangled measuring tape.

It's so important. They have a similar store to that down in Houston, Top Drawer, replete with the fitting and the drawers and the biddies, but when I needed a strapless bra for my...um...let's just say generous chest and tiny ribcage, they not only found me the eighth architectural wonder of the world, they also took it in for me so that it fit my waist! You could also see if they take appointments or something. oh yes! It’s so important.

You have a Moral Fashion Obligation to yourself. Maybe you ARE a C-cup; they'll steer you to the best ones for you. And if you are something Other (32C? 34C? 36C? C what you can find), you will look better for it. You need to do this for those of us who live too far from Mecca to go there ourselves. *And you probably ARE what size you think you are. Because if 80% of America is wearing the wrong size, 20% is wearing the right size. I did at least get to run into the Traveling Fitters from the Oprah show, and I said, "I'm a 36D." Guess what I turned out to be? A 36D. But they'll put you in the best ...C for you. Seriously, Alex, if you can go to Town Shop on a weekday, do so. You have a Moral Fashion Obligation to yourself.
