Graphic designs

I can’t stop looking for more celebrity photos… I guess it has become an addiction to me now! I promised to post more photos of Jena Malone, and a quick Google search resulted in numerous great pics. However, today I decided to publish only one of them. I really like the idea of this dress. Instead of ruffles or bows (which by the way are a great choice for us flat-chested women!), this dress rocks with a graphic print in the front. It draws the attention to the breast area, doesn’t cover anything, and still creates an effect:

I was also reunited with one of my earlier favorites, Erin O’Connor. She has a graphic effect, too. I think the triangles are a great idea, they create an illusion of breasts where there are none. How do you like it?

I’m definitely planning to keep following these two stars’ fashion! If you guys have any more ideas about inspiring flat-chested celebrities, let me know!

A Flair with Selma Blair

I just came across an actress with small breasts that I have completely neglected in my earlier posts… So tonight’s special guest will be Selma Blair! She may not be flat-chested, but she doesn’t have big boobs either – and that’s why we love her!

A nice halter neck that doesn’t hide the small breasts, nor does it point them out.

Very interesting evening wear… I’m not sure if I could pull that off, but it sure looks great on her!

A slightly more traditional, yet very cool dress. I love the front finish!

And last but not least, my personal favorite, the casual wear (braless!):

Hot summer, hot bras…

In my recent posts, I’ve been writing quite a lot about bralessness. Going brafree has really hit me this summer, and I have been eager to explore my new-found freedom every time I’ve dared (my confidence varying from day to day and from situation to situation). At the same time, however, I have found some really nice new bras that I wanted to tell you guys about!

I did a little shopping on Urban Outfitters online store, and I can tell you, they have really nice stuff… If you’re looking for small bras that are sexy but not stuffed with padding, check out Urban Outfitters intimates. I bought two bras, both are feather-light, non-wired, lacy and so thin that wearing them feels like going brafree.

This is the first one, Cotton Lace Trim Soft Bra:

You can find it online here:

http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/cotton-lace-trim-soft-bra/invt/5741460923005/&bklist=

This bra is non-wired and made of thin cotton. The cups were very small, but since I had to order a size Medium (because of my wide  bone structure) they were hanging a bit loose on me at first. I solved the problem by adjusting the shoulder straps shorter; it made the trick and the rest of the extra fabric just layers together to the bow in the center, it doesn’t matter. However, if you are a size Small, you’ll probably have no issues.

The other bra I ordered from Urban Outfitters looks like this:

When I tried to add the link for you guys, I wasn’t able to find the item on the Urban Outfitters page anymore (I think the problem was my browser, not the online store…). You can probably find it quickly by just going to www.urbanoutfitters.com or www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk (choose “intimates” or “underwear”, depending on which country’s page you are using).

This bra is great for us flat-chested women because the cups are not pre-formed. It’s just stretchy lace, so it will stretch itself on your boobs no matter how small they are. Yes, the nipples will show through. And yes, that’s okay.

Breast-acceptance and bralessness

Hey guys, I thought you might be interested in reading this article / blog post by Hallie Seegal. It was published online on Huffington Post today, and the author shares her story about making peace with her small breasts and ditching the bra. You can find the article here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hallie-seegal/going-braless_b_901832.html

I’ve been thinking about the connection between accepting my flat chest and going braless. Basically, I could very well accept my breasts and still wear a bra. But somehow it has started to feel fake. Like the stuffed, ultra-padded bras started to feel fake about a year ago, when I moved over to less-padded ones. I feel like I’m on a journey that is leading me to total brafreedom – if I would stop now (at non-padded bras) I would not reach my destination.

However, I feel torn between my urge to shop for new, petite lingerie that actually fits me, and the desire to get rid of bras. The whole thing with searching for bras that fit me (online, in stores) has become kind of a hobby for me… At least for now, I will try to find balance between wearing my AA-cup bras and going braless.

I also found a very interesting discussion forum online. It’s a members-only discussion forum on the Website www.goingbraless.net . I became a member a couple of weeks ago and I’m already all hooked. Normal women, in all shapes and sizes, discuss the braless lifestyle, share their experiences and ideas, and encourage others to have the courage to “hang loose”. If you are interested in starting a brafree lifestyle, I really recommend this Website, along with the forum!

Braless adventure

Dear readers,

all the women with small breasts, all the men who love women with small breasts…and everyone else who comes across this page! I haven’t written for a while again… Reason #1: I’ve been enjoying the summer and spent very little time indoors in front of the computer, Reason #2: I lost my blog admin password and had to reset my account..

Well, now I’m back again and I have some news! I’ll probably write more about bras and fashion some other time – this blog entry will be about the opposite: going braless. I actually have gone out braless for a couple of times now! The first time was kind of a spur of the moment; as so many other good things in life, it happened unexpected – I didn’t plan to do it, it just happened. I was at the gym, and decided to blow-dry my hair in the ladies’ dressing room without a bra, just wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt. This was already kind of a big step for me. (My breast issues are not limited to encounters with the opposite sex – I also stress about other women seeing my real size.) When I was done with the blow dryer and nothing bad had happened yet, I got an idea – why not go all the way home without a bra! My heart started beating a little quicker, I took a couple of deep breaths, and did it. No drama, no champagne bottles poppin’… I just walked home, wearing a relatively tight-fitting top, with nothing under. It was a weird, scary, exhilarating, nervous, erotic, liberating and great experience.

Ever since, I have gone out to run little errands braless. When I do it, I usually wear a top or a camisole underneath the shirt to avoid any views from the cleavage. I have all these new sensations I have never felt before: the evening breeze that blows through my shirt on my breasts, the slight jiggly feeling when I run up or down the stairs (okay, I can’t really say anything jiggles…it’s more like a relaxed feeling of my whole body moving freely)… It still feels weird and a little scary, but before all, great.

 

 

New celeb photos

It’s been a while since I posted pictures of flat-chested/small-breasted celebrities. One of my readers suggested that we AAA-cup women get inspired by super models. Even though I don’t want to advocate the super skinny body type of the models, I do have to admit there are a lot of good-looking and brave flat chested women on the catwalks. As I have told you before, I’m not a skinny girl, and can thus not really identify myself with the following beauties. But they all have small breasts, and that’s the important thing for now.

Mini Anden (she has also been in the Victoria’s Secret catalog many times!)

Gemma Ward (note: she’s also braless – if I had the courage to wear that dress…!!)

Anne-Marie Van Dijk (don’t you love that dress?!)… Sorry about the image quality!

In addition to supermodels, I found a couple of other inspiring women with small breasts. I love the outfit of the Chinese actress Zhang JingZhu. The ruffles on the dress and the ample necklaces distract the eye, so nobody could even tell she has small breasts!

Another pretty Asian actress, Natalie Tong Si Wing from Hong Kong, also caught my attention. Look at this dress; she made no effort to make her breasts appear bigger (however, not the slight push up effect)…it still looks fabulous! (Sorry about the grey area below the picture…I couldn’t figure out how to crop it!)

I think I should start looking for more pictures of international stars and celebrities. The fixation with big breasts seems to be a predominantly American/Western issue, and I believe there are plenty of wonderful, flat chested beauties all around the world. I’m happy to receive ideas on whom to search for!

An experiment and a smile

No, I did not go out brafree. But I took yet another step to that direction yesterday. I chose to wear an ultra-thin lace triangle bra – completely unpadded, without an underwire!! It’s basically just a decorative piece of lace, but very comfortable since it is light like a feather. On top of the “bra” I was wearing a camisole and a grey cotton cardigan. Just to feel safer, I also grabbed a light jacket on top of my outfit. I was more or less flat, and I could feel my nipples touching the cardigan when I stepped out to the cool evening air.

I went for grocery shopping, to a store I usually don’t visit, just to avoid awkward encounters with people I know. (I’m really making a big deal out of it, I know!) I have to admit I kept that jacket on until I got back home. But I did open it and it kind of “flashed” the flat front of the cardigan when I was grabbing for stuff to buy and moved around in the store. A guy, another customer, looked at me for a really long time. First I was sure it’s all in my head, and I imagine people staring at me just because I’m not wearing my usual padded bra. But then it got so obvious it could no way just be me and my imagination playing tricks on me. He was staring at me and smiling. I tried to resist the urge to look down and check if my nipples were showing through the cardigan. I didn’t, and I still have no idea whether his flirty smile was because of my breast(lessnes)s or despite it. I felt awkward of the sudden attention, given by a stranger in such a vulnerable state of mind. I hurried out of the store and got back home. But I made it!!

My new bikini!

Picture from: http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2010/08/23/unbearable-bodies/

I hate swimming and I hate beaches. Mostly because to me, swimming and beaches mean taking off my protective armor of clothes and revealing much more of my body than I would be comfortable with. The weather is, however, getting hot again and I don’t want to miss all the sun. I ordered this bikini from the British online store asos.com. I bought a UK size 8, which turned out to be much smaller than I had expected. I did check the size conversion chart, but I guess I missed some details…UK size 8 is a US size 4. However, I didn’t want to have the hassle of returning the bikini and waiting for another size, especially because the cups fit me perfectly. I just extended the straps on the backside to make it feel less suffocating. I think this is a great shape for us small/flat chested women. The bandeau cups are not actually padded (they only have a thin foam insert that keeps the cup in shape) so you don’t have to worry about “faking it” or creating false hopes for the beach guys. But at the same time, the ruffled bow in the front adds volume and takes the attention away from the lack of cleavage. And the colors are nice, too, don’t you think?

I haven’t been out in my new bikini yet, but I’ll tell you how it went once I get the chance to hit the beach!

Lightly padded…going bra free

When I started this blog, I was accustomed to wearing heavily padded bras that made my AA cup breasts look like B/C cups. Or that’s at least what I thought they would. The fact is, you can’t really fake it too much. Looking at old pictures now I realize how ridiculous my attempts were. There was no cleavage, and the breasts (aka padded cups) were way too high on my chest to appear natural. Big breasts hang lower, small breasts+tennis ball sized bras don’t. Last summer, I made a drastic move and eliminated all the super-padded bras from my wardrobe. I bought a lot of new bras, still padded but with a lot less stuffing to cover the real me. It took some time to get used to wearing the lighter bras, and I also needed to buy some new shirts to flatter my flatter look. It’s now been almost a year since my transition to the thinner bras, and I feel good. My self-esteem boosted as I realized that guys would still talk to me. Actually, they would now talk to me and to the fake boobs I was carefully hiding under my shirt.

But I’m still not complete. I still sometimes catch myself envying women with full breasts, and I still hate shopping for bras and trying on countless sizes and shapes just to find out they are all too big. I have, occasionally, managed to find some great bras, which I will tell you more about in another post. But I crave for more freedom and more truth – less bra and more me.

I’m slowly maturing to the thought of ditching bras altogether. I’ve now been going out in a lightly padded bra for almost a year, and I feel that I’m almost ready to take the next step. My breasts don’t require the support of a bra; they don’t hang, bounce or jiggle anywhere. They just stand there, slight elevations from the chest, with tiny nipples on top. The only reason for wearing a bra is cover-up; covering the true size, covering the weak spot, covering the insecurities. But how liberated would I feel, walking outside as me, without the armor of a bra protecting my insecurities!

I found a great website with lots of information about going braless: www.goingbraless.net. They also have a discussion forum where registered members can share their experiences and advice. The ideology behind the site is very interesting; these women believe that bralessness is a choice that can empower women and enhance their mental and physical health. After reading some of the stories on the forum and giving it a thought, I have started to agree. I still need to take some brave steps before I’m there, but my new goal is definitely clear: Miss Sweet will liberate herself from bras!

Kelly Ripa did it too!

Hi again!

Hello everybody,

this is Miss Sweet, writing to you after a loooong break. I owe you an apology for not writing for such a long time. A lot of things have happened, both related and unrelated to breasts and I have had very little time to go online. During the past 6 months or so, I lived abroad, in an environment where breasts and breast size was a lot less significant than I was used to. I lived in a culture where everything and everyone was crazy about the butt instead. It was an exhilarating and healing experience that made me realize that boobs aren’t everything. I had always been ashamed of my big butt, but now it suddenly turned out to be my best “ass”et. In a way, I was liberated from the pressures of the boobie-mania of our culture, and I have now returned home as a stronger and more confident woman.

Yes, I still have an AA cup, and yes, my lower body is still 2-4 sizes bigger than my upper half. But thanks to my experiences abroad, I now feel proud carrying around my tiny boobs and my big butt. The knowledge that somewhere out there, guys would get crazy about exactly this body type, boosts my confidence.

I have to, however, admit that some of the old insecurities have returned as I came back home. I go out to the city and nobody admires my butt, nobody says a positive comment about my shape. So far I have been able to ignore the lack of “cheers”. In the long run, the negative thoughts may return and I want to keep writing this blog to reflect on the matter, whatever my thoughts might be.

Thank you for reading and commenting, I hope to have time to interact with all of you more in the near future!

Yours,

Miss Sweet
