In the many years that I’ve been writing about lingerie, the availability, variety and general awareness of full bust options has massively expanded. And yet still no other region – and especially not the US – has quite managed to achieve what Poland has in this niche. Full-busted lingerie bloggers today know that this country is well ahead of the curve when it comes to, well, curves, but things haven’t always been … Read More
