Good gawd - that looks remarkably like Madonna from the Truth or Dare era...

true story from my aunts...

whenever one of the aunts got "big enough" that she needed a bra, granny went to the store and bought one. it didnt matter WHAT size you were, she bought a 34B. when she came back, the bra was put on, looked at, if you couldnt fill the bra, she put it on you inside out, pinned snug, and she took it to the sewing machine and took a seam across it.

then you ended up with square tits. (seriously...who DOES this crap???) welcome to poor dairy farmer life!

Seriously...they couldn't take the kid with them and fit her correctly the first time so her tits looked like tits and not building blocks? Still costs the same amount of money...

oh, i know! but...seven daughters over 20 years. (nine children altogether, and NO losses. that's pretty amazing for the time period, especially for farming family, and granny worked the farm as hard as pawpaw did. my youngest aunt is 10 years older than i am, so she would have been born in 53...they were married in 1931.)

having a bunch of daughters and having to swap clothing back and forth, it made sense in a way to do it like that, because you knew what size it was going to be when you pulled it from the laundry basket. same with sewing patterns, granny always bought a size 12 and then it was fitted to the girl as she cut it out.

since the two boys were 10 years apart, my uncle's clothes were just saved for my father.

So what happened when they overflowed it, or was that not a problem in your family? I was a 34B when I was 11 and a 36C by the time I was 12 so Granny would have had fun keeping up with me!

My family didn't have a lot of money either so I "muffin topped" my bras pretty much through my early teens. It was a lot of fun in PE when they'd pop out and I'd have to stuff 'em back in. For me, it was more like "I dreamed I had a bra that fit!" :P

oh gods yes... granny was a DDD by the time the last kid came. if you were too big, then you got a cup size that fit.

personally, i went from a AA to a large B cup over winter break one year. went back to school and everyone was whispering that i had started stuffing my bras till we got to gym class and i had to change. gee, no, i wasnt.

Santa just thought i had been a very good girl, so he brought me THOSE. life's been interesting ever since. ;)

I'm worried that the grass and weeds and stuff will stick and make her all itchy. Or she'll pick up a tick and get Lyme disease. Or there are snakes in the grass.

On the plus side, that's got to be one of the most normal looking of the Maidenform "I dreamed" ads.

On the minus side, she looks like she tripped, fell onto a log and broke her back.

I love how this bra makes her tits look unbelievably pointy.

Seriously, she could poke someone in the eye with those! 0___

If she's going to dream about rolling around a field in her bra, she might want to dream up a partner to, um, keep her company. Just sayin' ;)

[write-light.livejournal.com]

She can't let a gentleman see her in her undergarments!

[1geek-queen.livejournal.com]

If he shows up in his underpants, they'll be on equal ground. ;)

With teh points on those they could put some one's eye out!
