I wear them because they don't have any padding or wire because my boobs are like...ridiculous in size so they give me a lot of shape and support and the elastic stuff at the top keeps anything from spilling out the top. I ordered several when I was pregnant because I had planned on converting them to nursing bras but I ordered sizes that were too big in the cup. I was really bummed out because it was such a waste so I put a dart in the sides and now they're perfect! Maybe you could put a dart in it and it might help the fullness issue and fit a little better? I wonder if they changed the fabric on them recently? Mine are 100% cotton. Nylon sounds dreadful for a bra, especially in the summer *blargh!*Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-18104780758666555002013-07-25T14:47:09.686-04:002013-07-25T14:47:09.686-04:00Well I hate to say it, but I ordered the bra, and ...Well I hate to say it, but I ordered the bra, and it was really disappointing. It's not cotton, but some sort of weird nylon stuff. It was WAY big in the band an cups for a 34B. The shape seemed right, but there wasn't any padding or structure to the cups, and I didn't fill them out, so I don't know if it does create that nice conical look of decades past. I'm pretty bummed, but at least it was cheap. Oh well :-(Lauren Stowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008240537371936468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-39600295098457580532013-07-20T10:03:41.530-04:002013-07-20T10:03:41.530-04:00Oh no, that's a perfectly valid question! Ladi...Oh no, that's a perfectly valid question! Ladies would wear panties under the girdle, then the girdle and stockings over the top, often followed by a slip and dress. So, if you're in a big hurry, you'd lift your slip and dress as usual and pull your panties down as far as you can so they'd sit around the top of your stockings and you may need to pull the girdle up a little so you're not sitting on it. Another option would be to pull the girdle down with your panties and pull it up again when you're finished so you wouldn't have to fumble with stockings and garter clips, which is what I usually do when I wear a girdle. I suppose some ladies may also detach the back garter clips so they can pull the girdle up when they sit and then replace the garter clips when they're done. I imagine that if you wear a girdle every day, you get really good at messing with the clips! :pBrittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-81762042012031527862013-07-18T12:10:00.246-04:002013-07-18T12:10:00.246-04:00I have a question...and feel like a dork for askin...I have a question...and feel like a dork for asking, but I really am curious! For those 2 beautiful girdles that are $22, I have always wondered, how do you go to the bathroom while wearing it? It appears to me you have to practically undress to use the restroom! I have always wanted to get one...but I drink a lot of water everyday and this would pose a real problem! :)Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939652631786386607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-37209442853918298092013-07-18T02:03:53.361-04:002013-07-18T02:03:53.361-04:00*sigh* Oh how I wish companies would make true vin...*sigh* Oh how I wish companies would make true vintage style bras in cup sizes beyond a DD...

I just checked and National doesn't ship their catalog or merchandise outside of the States, shucks! - and that $20 blouse was so calling my name (and making my wallet happy about the pricetag). I'll bookmark them and check back every now and then all the same though. It doesn't happen every day, but sometimes US sites do suddenly decide to start shipping to Canada.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-21633249349868627312013-07-16T23:02:58.074-04:002013-07-16T23:02:58.074-04:00I would love to have that bra!
