Envy robe - that’s putting it lightly. Don’t you envy it already. Full length silk. Can’t be beat.

From a company called Spoylt.

The only odd bit is that it comes with a “blindfold” with diamante-crystal details that they suggest using as a belt. Why not just say belt? Anyway, nice robe ;)

Jessica Alba’s bra?

What a weird marketing stunt. To send a bra to PopWatch to promote the upcoming Fantastic Four DVD.

So, the question is: did Jessica Alba actually wear this bra? Because that is kind of nasty.

But, aside from that, it’s a nice bra. My fave color, actually.

Victoria’s Secret is one of my favorite places to visit when in the US. So annoying that they don’t have a store in Canada. Anyway, this is the slip I bought my last time over. It’s lace trimmed and satin, so it feels great. The slit and the ribbon bows are just a nice little topper.

If you are looking for a bra that is something other than a B or C cup, you could be searching extra hard now.

Victoria’s Secret has stopped carrying DDs, and they’re not the only ones. Retailers other than department stores are carrying less of the ‘extreme’ sizes - 32A and below or DD and above. These spectrum end sizes don’t sell in the same volumes, and take up shelf space that is now at a premium.

If shelf space is being freed up by removing these sizes, what is going there? Well, there is a new trend toward half sizes in the mid-range breast sizes.

This same trend is happening in all clothing areas, but it is particularly extreme and noticeable in lingerie.

“There are not enough choices for women in the extreme end,” Targosz says. “Sometimes companies get to the point where they worry about the one size fits all cookie-cutter shape rather than the whole market. If a company becomes too focused on that they will eliminate concern for the others.”

Lingerie chain Victoria’s Secret last spring cleared its stores of all but a few styles in DD cups before customer gripes lead it to reverse the move, several sales associates say. (A corporate spokeswoman denies the chain made such a move.) The bigger cup sizes that do trickle in are snatched up by customers, these salespeople said. Meanwhile, women searching for 32As and smaller sizes, such as AAs, also have reason to complain. They find the retailer no longer offers AAs — and offer only a couple of styles in the 32As from which to choose.

Companies are producing every size, but stores just aren’t ordering them, says Norah Alberto, senior style director of Maidenform, which earlier this year axed the 32C from all but a few styles. The company also offers only a couple 32As. Limited floor space forces retailers to drop some sizes…

If you have difficulty finding your size, here are some tips:

- choose a style and order your size online or from catalogues

- choose stores that have size exchange policies

- go direct to the brand website

- get alterations

- go to specialty stores

When it comes to just finding a bra, you aren’t left with many choices in styles. As the average breast size starts seeing more and more selection in styles and materials, we’ll see less of it in the extreme size ranges.

“You can’t find something that’s fashionable or sexy,” she says. “They want to put them away somewhere and don’t care about what the package looks like. It’s like five straps and a brace.”…

And apparently this 25-year-old keeps trim by EATING MORE:

“The more I eat before a show, the better. When I’m older, I’ll have to work out perhaps,” says the 25-year-old, admitting: “I always have an issue of not showing my ass - it’s mine. In pictures it’s different, but with people looking at you on the runway, I don’t feel comfortable.”

Great cleavage is only a bra away. Skip the surgery and just get this bra from Margarita Reis.

Just like a breast lift, this push up not only gives you that push, but it separates too. It comes with a whole bunch of strap options, from traditional to halter to strapless and more.

A new and revolutionary underwire convertible bra endorsed by Extreme Makeover plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Man to wear five different ways: two strap, clear two strap, racer back, backless or halter.

Built-in sculpted graduated cups are designed to create a natural cosmetically enhanced look. Provides lift and slight separation to offer a fuller and firmer appearance both in and out of clothing.

Also includes liquid lifting pads that easily insert into the cups for additional cleavage.

Three types of straps included: Super clear, classic and a low-back halter strap for use with backless dresses.

It’s a padded cup bra, so pay attention to the fitting guide on the site. Available at brastraps.com
