Proportion is in the Eye of the Beholder

  • I got a phone call this week (I think it was this week) with this request, “I’m looking for a custom made swimsuit”. As I inquired why she needed custom made the answer was, “I’m a 38G and I need an underwire”. Of course those swimsuits exist.
  • Also this week I heard a client exclaim, “I have such a strange size”. She is a 30H/32GG, and while that is a tough size to find nice bras for, they are also available.
  • And finally, while conversating with another local (very successful) Dallas designer she commented, “I have a couple of girlfriends that are just so disproportionate, they could really benefit from your line”.
This mindset breaks my heart. Have you ever seen two faces that are the same (save for the rare identical twins)? Similarly boobs – sometimes I just like to say that word – come in all shapes and sizes. If a woman has a size six waist, who’s to say her bust-line can only be six inches bigger than that?


You know my story, I grew up with a mom who cursed her more than ample bosom, then grew indifferent towards it (the ultimate surrender). And while I have always been blessed with a nice bust-line, my passion is to empower women who feel burdened by their large breasts.

At Bratique Helene, we encourage you to embrace your endowment and see it as a blessing and not a curse.
