The short answer is...Oh, F, that's a tough one. The short answer is that it works for some people (Carine Roitfeld, Carrie Bradshaw) and probably not so naturally for others (Annette Bening, for example). Does the seam go all the way down? If not, you might be able to manage with a low back bra. Another option might be a basque or body suit underneath - that seems to look more "planned". I'm sure you can get away with it if it's how you play it. I could not.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-31826491119894263162012-10-21T19:42:23.409-04:002012-10-21T19:42:23.409-04:00Oh, yes, the prednisone definitely helped my appet...Oh, yes, the prednisone definitely helped my appetite. I was just so terrified of getting that bloaty, steroid face that I was super strict about no salt (I know, call me vain), which really sucked because I do like my food (though, don't like to call myself a foodie) so, once I got my appetite back, eating salt-free, bland, food was not fun. Don't get me wrong, I would have done anything to get my health back! And I was amazed at how disciplined I was about the salt-free diet, considering under normal circumstances I have a hard time being strict about my eating/diet.<br /><br />You're right, I suppose I should just return the Gem for the right size. I didn't realize they don't charge for shipping on exchanges. I was going to just wait until LCL got it and order from them with free shipping. It is a new style, isn't it? Which means it should be around a while. I'm hoping they introduce different panty styles.

Did it increase your appetite, even as you were struggling with an illness that may have prevented eating?<br /><br />I'm so glad your LCL purchase was easy. You know, I never get dinged on Figleaves, or anything from UK as I've said many times, but this time I did - on the order that came in a box vs. envelope. I think it is the box. I guess the key is not to order bulky items from them, or take your chances. I have received boxes before with no customs, fyi.<br /><br />For what it's worth, my Nina bra, above, was 29 bucks and the shipping was 20, which IMO is insane. Mind you, I wanted that bra and this was my last recourse. Thank goodness it fits, though. It wasn't returnable. <br /><br />You've chosen some gorgeous bras. I do love the Susanna and the Cleo in the blue colourway is lovely.<br /><br />On the topic of the Gem, which as you know I returned for a cup and band size down, I really do suggest (sorry) that you return it for the right size. It's a really beautiful piece but I sense it's going to be a bust (no pun intended) in a very short time with the band so loose. If you intend to buy the bra at a later time in a diff size (which will end up costing more, all around) be sure you do it soon enough that you don't end up having the problem that I did finding the Nina. Unless they stock the blue colour as a staple - and it's unclear that they will even though the line has been brought in to be a staple - you'll be out of luck soon.<br /><br />I so hope the next Figleaves order comes without a Customs ding. Remember, if you send the Gem back, you'll get that bra resent to you for free and, in an envelope, there's likely to be no customs charge. I estimate that will cost about 8 bucks.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-8030802384506121572012-10-21T18:46:51.185-04:002012-10-21T18:46:51.185-04:00It really is the perfect pattern.

Love it, but it has a long open seam down the back. Cannot go braless, bought the adhesive bra cups but rejected that option as I'm sure the distraction of unevenly arranged boobs, prominent nipples and all, will be too much to bear. Trying to convince myself that yes, I can allow a well-chosen bra's narrow, pretty strap to be glimpsed through the long seam occasionally.

I've been on prednisone before for the autoimmune benefits but it was with a whole cocktail of other drugs so who knows what did what. It's a short dose that I was on if I remember right, maybe a week. Last cycle they forgot to tell me when to take it and by the time I asked it was too late. All medications come with the pluses and minuses, seems to me breathing is a pretty big plus.<br /><br />Oh those are so pretty.
