Oh, don’t you worry. I’ll be pointing and laughing with you.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had 2nd thoughts about a garment because of bad pictures on Ravelry. I look at the picture in the magazine with the piece being worn by a model…then I go to Ravelry to see what it looks like on “normal” bodies. And sometimes I’m horrified. No. Really horrified.
Me? I’m not petite by any means. I’m 6’2″ and am a 42C. (Think along the lines of “Jessica Rabbit”.)
The couple of times I’ve put a picture on Ravelry, I made sure that when I looked at the picture, I saw more than just headlights.
Underwear USED to be called “Foundation Garments” for a reason.

OK – I have the same tata rant! If you have the option to buy “pretty bras”, by all means DO IT! The rest of us will suffer with the butt-ugly things they make in larger sizes. And since I’ve got you – what brand of bra do you like best? I’m always looking for another good bra.

Very funny on the tatas commentary. I know you are NOT talking about my photos in ravelry – there’s nothing to lift and separate. What you see is fake padding

Now you are going to be looking at it I’m sure. lol

46/48 I can usually make work. That’s a basic gage diffrence for me so it’s not a problem. When the pattern stops at 42′ then I’m a little bit put off.

Perfect fit is from the knitter. We are responcible for how an item fits us through our own customization. I mean store bought clothing doesn’t always fit great either.

Oh, sizing is such a problem! It seems that everybody has a different body type, and everyone complains about patterns not fitting them perfectly. (I’m guilty of it too!). For my patterns in Sensual Knits, I had to calculate for 5 sizes, from a 28″ bust to 46″…
I never noticed a lack of bras on Ravelry! Funny.

Yeah, I promise. If I see a picture of you with saggy tatas I will write you an email & tell you to get your bubbies to a bra store asap!

LOL.

I LOVE your tata’s rant. Promise me that you’ll yell at me in private before calling me out in front of the blogger-verse? I mean, I don’t think you’re talking to me… just let me know, k? ;-P
