This bustier thing made me a huge fan of stretch fabrics that have structure (and not that tissue-thin jersey stuff!)Aya in Couturgatoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764355243258260075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-66686529973397040122013-07-27T23:29:47.129-07:002013-07-27T23:29:47.129-07:00I don't know if you read graverobbergirl's...I don't know if you read graverobbergirl's blog, but it's a great place to look at some handmade garments. http://graverobbergirl.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Let me know if you want closeup shots of the construction- getting piping that matches the panels on the front seems to be the trickiest part, to me.Aya in Couturgatoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764355243258260075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-43458946524245982492013-07-27T20:10:12.148-07:002013-07-27T20:10:12.148-07:00Oh man, I was thinking about physiology today in t...Oh man, I was thinking about physiology today in the car and I just figured this out!<br /><br />Body fat distribution changes with age. You can have the same body composition, but at different ages, where your body stores it is different.<br /><br />A boy's body has more fat in the limbs and evenly spread over the torso, versus when he ages, when it gets stored predominantly on and in the abdominal cavity while the limbs lean out. So it's the perfect fit for a short young woman with broad shoulders and narrow hips.

That one fits you beautifully. And that bustier tank top - I'm wondering whether there's a way I could make one of those myself!

I love all of your outfits. <br /><br />You don't look like you have a 'fat male child' figure, but if those are the clothes you're buying, they definitely work. And it's great you found what works for you. <br /><br />Also, that 'fake' bustier looks and sounds awesome!graverobbergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863800265600683329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-25404097738874904182013-07-27T11:54:48.757-07:002013-07-27T11:54:48.757-07:00Yes!

I think of clothes as having such a wide range of cuts anyway that one shouldn't care which section it's found in, so long as it fits and looks good. I have a maternity shirt, too. I think it's in one of my earliest posts. It's supremely comfortable and flattering.Aya in Couturgatoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764355243258260075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-47318310073479655822013-07-27T10:30:38.267-07:002013-07-27T10:30:38.267-07:00Ha!

I never thought of you as a husky boy, but then again, I never imagined I'd find clothes that fit me in the maternity women's section!Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.com
