I'm ample chested and found I can modify a $8 bra from Walmart to fit my needs (I take the bones out) for my "work" bra. I don't do sleep bras. I find anything like a sports bra won't work for me in general (and forget those shirts with built in "bras").
For fun bras I shop pretty much exlusively from Fredericks of Hollywood honestly. They come in bigger cup sizes and there's a wide variety. For awhile these were my daily bras too but I was too hard on them to keep doing that at that price. I find them very comfortable and comparatively priced to any other big chest bra (which seem to be almost universally prohibitively expensive these days).
I thought that too but one time I went shopping with a friend and she urged me to try on a padded bra and I was pleasantly surprised by how much support it gave me. It was at Lane Bryant where I got those bras.Quote:

I don't want to wear pants that show the top of my underwear or tops where my boobs or belly button are out. I haven't been there for awhile so I don't know if they ever went back to decent clothes for regular people.
That brand sounds like it made by someone with a stutter. Is that the Porky Pig lingerie line?Quote:

No, it's the line for ladies with bodacious tatas. :)Quote:

The fabric just has the usual stains from oils in skin and it looks, as my mother would say, pretty disreputable.
I wanted the chair because it's just SO well made. Really sturdy. Not like the crummy armchairs you find in the stores now.
I think it can be brought back with a little TLC, but I don't want to use a cleaning product on it that will make things worse.
Maybe you should drop by a bookstore and browse her new book "I Brake for Yard Sales"? I'm guessing you might find some very helpful hints there.
If hand wipes or soap and water won't clean it, I've had good luck with Resolve. I know you know this but whatever you use, do a test clean underneath.Quote:

Late to the party but I use my bissell little green machine to clean dirty furniture. Works well.
Unfortunately, that's not in my budget and it wouldn't fit in my tiny house even if I could afford to buy something like that. The chair was free, so if I was going to spend that kind of money, I'd just get it reupholstered!Quote:
