My Lumps Strapless Top

The immortal quest for a strapless bra

that actually holds the ladies is place

happily

reasonably

without a lot of fanfare

or hoopla

has staggered me.

I do not believe it exists.

In lieu I have a strapless dress that fits.

 In fact two that were made by the same person years ago

and

they ROCK

they are strapless and oh soooo comfy

Also- cute

Fantasticness you say?

Well no.

They are just not the wear everyday, everywhere

with two small children kind of dresses

At least not for me

Someone foxier might swing it,

but I'm all about kid around my neck these days

and I wouldn't want to de-bone Nu or Pu

with the actual boning in my frock

So I thought

copy it

build it and they will...

well stay in place I guess.

But no!!!

I think I actually had a panic attack trying to get out of this today.

I made it without a pattern

I SORT of copied the awesome dresses

and then I tried harder to REALLY copy them.

I added boning in the right places

I vaguely measured

I added mystery darts in places where it might help

Alas the bumps were not happy

Cute enough

but not comfy enough

I can not crack the hump code

Girls and our curves

good and evil all wrapped up in one

"Lumps, humps, bumps

why won't you stand up, sit down and stay where I toss you?!"

(imagine fist waving at sky)
