Pretty underwear

I love pretty lingerie; however, it does not love me. I was a 36D by the time I was 15. In the 1960s, that was huge and I could only buy white bras. In my 20s, I wandered into a Victoria's Secret to see what they had. I had seen the ads and was looking for something very sexy. They didn't carry anything over a C cup. Within a couple of years, colors, lace and different styles were available. But I was a DD by then and again, one size to large for pretty lingerie. By the 80s, full-figure designers were making their mark and I became a full-figure model. And I could find beautiful lingerie in my size. It was heaven. I had a drawer full of lacy, colorful bras, panties and teddies. And I went up another cup size and was back to beige and white. The colors came to me again. Lane Bryant does a beautiful line with many, many choices. During the year after my husband died, I gained enough weight to  put me one size too large for the color options. I was back to beige again!  Over the past three months I have lost enough weight to go down that one size. The first thing I did was to stock up on colors. While I know I will never be a 36D again, I will also never go back to beige and white! With each loss in circumference, I get more colors to choose from. I think I would be very happy to be a 40DD. I would be back to my modelling weight and have for more lingerie choices. What more could a girl want?
