Hey Michael Kriegh!

We're so glad you decided to add Cameo Balconette Lift Up Bra Buff to your top drawer!

How does it fit? Do you like the style? Tell us everything!

dear J from Pepper

though i am not sure i am the sort of customer you really want to hear from, i will give it a go…

i am more thrilled than you can imagine with the Cameo Balconette Lift Up Bras i recently purchased (as i have been with all the lingerie i have purchased from pepper)… i searched long and hard for non-custom bras that fit me… i spent a lot of money too… i have finally found my bra and teddy and maybe bodysuit and corset source of choice (can we talk about expanding the bodysuit-corset line to up to a 40 band size?)… as an AMAB who spent most of his life presenting in a masculine “uniform,” i never thought i would be wearing dresses and skirts and bras and body suits and teddys… until, one day, a switch flipped and i couldn’t not do it… this happened about three years ago… i was 68 years old… i am now 71 and happier with myself than i have ever been… finding my size in women’s apparel has been a real journey as you might imagine… shoes and lingerie were especially hard… and then i found Pepper… i realized that my bra problem was that i had a flat and broad chest… even if i could find band sizes that fit, cup size was another matter altogether… my hopes were dashed so many times as bra after bra arrived and nothing fit right or, in the case of bras and bodysuits with replaceable pads, i might replace the pads with a cup size that did fit me, but would wind up with wandering breast mounds on my chest… not good… my goal is not to be buxom… my goal is to give myself just enough sensation of having womanly breasts that my feminine conception of myself is supported… your slightly padded uplift bras are perfect for the job… they fit snuggly and comfortably… they give me the little, pleasing-to-me, “hillock bumps,” i desire… and they are high quality garments… i love them in every way and wear them every day… and i am especially fond of the balconette style of bra… thank you so much for your focus on, and support of, the small breasted!…

michael…
