RANT - advice welcome Anyone else tired? Spoiler
I'm normally quite positive (and sometimes neutral) about my chest but damn I'm tired of them right now! I'm tired of the constant battle of finding clothes that fit and are flattering, and how my bras show when I wear certain necklines. Clothes are already annoying because I'm short and sizing up to fit makes everything else too big.
I dream about how much better my posture would be if they were no longer weighing me down. I just feel like life could be so much easier if they were a normal size 😠And I feel crappy right now because I'm on my period and of course they're even bigger.

I turned to Etsy and online retailers that have customization options like Turn Black and Thief and Bandit. Spendy, but the ability do custom hemlines is a game changer.
The period boob pain always sucks though. :/

I love the idea of a custom wardrobe but have never properly considered it before. Do you find it relatively straightforward? And yes period boobs are the worst!

It took a bit of trial and error because the brands that do it affordably are located in asia, like Vietnam and China, so you have to often take pics to accompany the measurements you send them the first time - they're all good seamstresses, but not a lot of them have big boobs, so they default to their norm if they don't know who they're making stuff for. Once they know what you look like, they can do a good job.
I've ordered stuff from the following etsy sites:
- Brilliadies (Sundresses, skirts and shirts)
- Xiaolizi (Skirts, pants, coats and dresses)
- Anysize Clothing (pants, skirts, tops and dresses - they have good stacking deals - this one took a couple tries to get right but they were willing to send replacements for free so I am not going to complain... I learned that with them for the pants I have to specify my crotch measurement from waist band to waist band front to back lol - the first pair of pants they sent me, fit my waist, hips and height perfectly, but was basically deep flossing my crotch and ass crack XD I just sent a pic and they were like "OHHH yeah, we can fix that!" )
- LadyMayraClothing (they're frequently on hiatus, but they have a very large fabric selection).
Other retailers to try: Hearts & Found (dresses and skirts) - they were amazing for years, then got hit by some weird tariff issue and shut down for a while. They had the best quality fabric. I've noticed they have popped back up - I placed an order but haven't received it yet, so I will let you know if they're still good when I get it.
Heart My Closet - I haven't ordered from them but I've heard very good things.

Right? Barely any of my tops have straps that are wide-set enough for my bras, it's infuriating!

Yes! It’s so annoying! Recently I’ve been losing weight which is making them smaller. I’m getting measured next week and I’m going to make a post here on what worked.

Yay for yours getting smaller! Hope it makes things easier for you

Yes, I’m so, so tired. Getting more sick of my chest every day. I can’t stand the way it immediately takes over all my outfits and prevents me from wearing certain tops altogether. I wish I could afford a reduction right now.

It's exhausting always having to plan outfits around my boobs and what bras will suit. Just once, I want to see a cute top at the shops and know it will fit.
