As a grown woman with a large bust and soft curves, I know that the right underpinnings make allllll the difference. A good bra can transform my body, increase my comfort, make my clothes fit better.

It’s the time of year for buying swimsuits. Last year I decided to make do with what I had – my Lands’ End paisley bikini and a turquoise halter one-piece that was gifted to me eons ago that is showing its wear. Bad move, Allie. While the bikini wasn’t bad, my body has changed over…
