Bolero Beachwear has been making incredibly great pieces this year that have mostly been inspired by Patricia’s travels to places like Spain and Hawaii. This dress in particular was inspired by her trip to Spain, where she saw flamenco dancers and fell in love with their traditional costumes. One of the things I really love about small companies like Bolero is that they can frequently do small customizations to pieces that really make them work well for a particular customer. They already customize to a customer’s height, but I also asked Patricia to switch out the original flared bell sleeves for a more standard cap sleeve so I could wear this with my navy blue suit jacket from Eloquii for work!

I’ve written a lot about Cake Lingerie bras over the years, because I always loved their flexible wire bras as lounge bras and lazy day bras. because Cake Lingerie has now launched the Sugar Candy Bra, which is a regular lounge bra aimed at full-figured and full-busted women! All of this has been kept and used in the Sugar Candy bra, which means it’s incredibly comfortable and easy to wear. Sugar Candy definitely advertises this as purely a lounge bra and a sleep bra (which I know lots of us are looking for) but I have worn it to the grocery several times on lazy days and not felt particularly self conscious while doing so.
