Through The Looking Glass ~ Prima Donna

The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”

When I was a little girl, my mother kept several porcelain figurines on her coffee table.  They were meant to represent each of her 3 children.  One of them was clearly a replica of Alice In Wonderland holding a tiny book which appeared to have writing on it.  I remember the thrill I had each time I picked her up and looking very closely, could actually read those famous words by Lewis Carroll.  I was mesmerized by the intricate delicacy of this charming statuette.  It has forever tied me to the fantasy and marvel of this famous text. My mother did not “collect” things, rather she respected them.  She was forever schooling me about the importance of quality and attention to detail as a mightier goal than owning much.

When I bought my first Prima Donna bra, I remembered her lesson.  Beautifully executed, this brand is a tribute to excellence.  Meant to embellish a larger cup woman, Prima Donna is renowned for its intricate construction informing an enduring support and superior fit.   Closely examine this gorgeous balconnet style, part of the Spring 2012 Wonderland collection, and one might imagine herself luxuriating in Alice’s exotic dream, sipping tea in a luscious spring garden full of expectation and wonder.   Designed with an exquisite floral embroidery combined with a delicate guipure trim, it is available from 32 -40, C – G cups. Like a classic fairytale, or a handmade curio, Prima Donna Bras are collectibles.
