GOOD BRA HUNTING. Perhaps you or someone you know is searching for a bra in an unusual size, large or small. Or perhaps you're just looking for a bra that's unusual. I'm no expert on the subject, but I'd like to be helpful.

On the smaller end of the breast spectrum, I've heard good things about Ripplu. For the extra large, Time Out New York recently recommended Bra*Tenders, a Hell's Kitchen outfit that serves "wardrobe and costume professionals worldwide." According to its website, this outfit offers more than just bras: "We carry EVERYTHING that touches skin for Men, Women, and Kids." So that means "Bras for the large & lovely" as well as "Bras for the petite & sweet," though I imagine the business would also try to accommodate "the huge & homely" and "the itty-bitty & bitter."

Other bras and such are presented for your consideration at the British Knickers: a lingerie weblog. As with Bra*Tenders and Ripplu, this website encourages bra hunters to obtain good bra fittings. Some of the photos at this model-heavy site could make a desperate housewife blush, but Knickers thoughtfully offers a "Work-Safe Version" in case you're worried that someone important to you might disapprove. Whatever Knicker's true raison d'etre might be, it offers glimpses of many different fashions, including some men's wear and links to Little Women and photos of zany promotional bras offered by a company called Triumph. (Don't miss the Post Office Privatization bra!)

For a completely different spin on bras, check out the Record Pop Tops created by Dara Holzman, a friend I often bump into when about town. Her work has also turned up in many places, including fundraising events for excellent causes.
