Sara's Fit_NOT USE

Ciao, bella! It's Sara here again.

This weekend, my friends and I took the time to visit Trian, a restaurant located in Cheong-dam. A dinner to be repeated, our meal was too scrumptious for it to be left unspoken.

Known for its Pork Belly Pasta and Beef Brisket Pasta, the fusion pasta restaurant, Trian, left my mouth wanting more. In fact, it has been introduced on Tasty Road, a popular TV show that broadcasts famous restaurants worth trying.

To begin with, the simple yet classy interior design was an eye-catching facet of the restaurant.

Flaunting its casual vibe with calming music playing in the background, the restaurant was deemed to be the perfect rendezvous for a simple family dinner outing or a friends gathering.

The first entree served was bread. This bread, however, was not like any other. Its chewiness had a gravitating effect. My appetite was far from getting tired of its taste and texture.

The picture above was our scrumptious appetizer, Oriental Beef Brisket Salad Box. A perfect amalgam of meat and salad, the dish was definitely a keeper. As you can see, the overflowing amount of content in the dish was, indeed, satisfying for four voraciously hungry girls. A notable tip for you all: this dish can be a bit overwhelming for a party of two.

What's shown above is the meal that I ordered, namely the Sweet and Spicy Beef Brisket Yaki Pasta. With a tinge of spice, the dish brought back nostalgic memories of the times I devoured the traditional Korean noodle, Bibim-NaengMyun. Of course, the dish I ordered here had a more rich and flavorful taste.

A friend of mine ordered the Lily of the Valley Oil Pasta, as demonstrated in the picture above. Because it wasn't the dish that I had ordered, I never got to get a bite of it. Regardless, the visual and smell of this dish were fantastic.

The third dish that I'd like to share with you all is the Squid Oriental Cream Pasta. What a meal! Inside the body of the squid harbored the cream pasta that was soon devoured. Although it differs for each person, for me, this dish leaned towards the more heavily greasy side.

Similar to the Yaki Pasta I previously ordered, this Pork Belly Pasta was a stunner. It was less spicy than the Yaki Pasta and the irresistible taste of pork mixed with pasta was surprisingly pleasant. Apparently, this dish is one of the hottest entrees out of the menu at Trian. I highly recommend you try it on your visit.

Below is the menu of the restaurant.

Each of the the appetizers and the main dishes were almost around 20 US dollars. Other than those two, there were also other entrees like a risotto and wine.

Last but not least, I would like to bring closure to this blog post by ending it with the entire shot of our dinner table. What a feast! :)

Here we finally have our first Bra Review: Venus Double Wing!

Searching for the bra with the right size for me, I decided to go to the closest Venus store nearby me.

Though I usually wear a 75A (U.S size 34AA), I figured a 75B (U.S size 34A) bra from Venus suited me the best.

As shown below, Venus’s brand new bra, namely the Double Wing, was something that I had my eye on for quite a while.

The woman above is a famous Korean actress who is commended for her voluptuous figure and enviable body silhouette.

Because I detest the feeling of my clothes being too tight near the chest area, I often wear a 36, despite the fact that my bust size is a 34.

Fortunately, I did not feel any tightness on my chest when I wore the Venus Double Wing. I was informed that it uses a special material for wings, designed to hold a lady’s love handles.

Among the wide array of colors provided (light pink, gray violet, light brown), I decided to go with the lemon color.

As shown in the picture above, this is a Venus Double Wing 75A (U.S. 34AA).

This bra is made to be low-centered with a 3/4 pad, a facet that is can be appealing to women who dont’t have a full upper bust like me.

Unfortunately, it failed at holding the lower area of the bust, since it didn’t have a pad in the cup itself.

I didn’t put any pad on it at first time.

Without the full pad, it did not make any cleavage.

With it, it proved to be a bit overwhelming. In fact, my boobs protruded out of the bra (Haha..!)

So I tried on another size, a 75B+(34A) that had pads already imbedded inside the bra.

From my experience, the Venus Double Wing Bra has a variety of choices that one can chose from: a padded bra, a pad-less bra, a 3/4 pad bra, etc. For those who wish to demonstrate a glamorous upper figure, I suggest you try fitting a Venus Double Wing S that is one size bigger in cup size and that contains pads.

Don’t hesitate to comment if you want any reviews for other bra companies.

Thank you for your time.

I hope it this finds you helpful when considering Venus bras ☺

I will be back with a new post about Wonder bra.

Please like us and look forward to seeing our new posts :D

Rise and shine, beautiful people! Today, I'm here to share with you all a priceless experience of making customized lingerie. A skill that I so passionately sought to learn, creating a fitted bra was incredibly rewarding and exciting. Throughout process, it dawned on me that we sometimes take for granted the things that, in fact, take immense dedication and effort to finish. We often overlook the hard work that has been done behind the screens of products we wear, like our undergarments.

The class took place at Huron Palm Doe-san Dae-ro, which is situated in between the Apgujeong and Shin-sa-dong district. What the whole process entailed were three stages in succession: measurement, patterning making, and textile.

As shown in the picture above, the atmosphere of the class was warm and cozy, allowing us to focus and reflect on our project.

The designer of Gianna is currently managing the designer lingerie brand “GIANNA” and has guest starred at Follow Me 6, a Korean TV show sharing tips and hot issues in beauty and fashion. Unlike prevalently mass-produced undergarment products, exemplified by bras sold in chain shops like Wonder Bra, the burgeoning trend of purchasing personalized and tailored bras is what designers like the mogul from Gianna are chasing after. We hope this blog post finds you well, and if you are interested, we’ve provided you with a link of Gianna below. Definitely worth checking out!

PROCESS:

First things first! Materials. Surprisingly, there were a wide array of different types of rulers to measure our breast sizes. The most important gauging tool was the protractor that measured the angle of our physicality. One thing that I’d like to point out is the hurricane ruler shown above. It is deemed to be utilized as a tool to help draw circles. How unique! Of course, all materials have been provided by the designer of Gianna.

Through the process, I realized that the crux of making bras derives from the unique ways in which each designer combines his/her scientific ways of measurements and his/her artistic touch - an idiosyncratic marriage of science and art.

For this reason, regardless of the fixed designated size (for example, 33A) that we all have, its difficult for each brand and each designers to produce the identically similar size of an undergarment.

To begin with, we measured our physical breast size. The process shed light on the intricateness that the designer of Gianna has in creating her products, as she emphasized the importance of precisely measuring our body sizes. This seemed to be the secret in creating the most comfortable and most fit bra.

With a bust size of 71 cm, I always find it tricky to settle on the standard bra size. A bra of 70cm is a little too tight, and that of 75cm is a bit too loose.

The rest of the class were diligently working and learning. Interestingly, the group was comprised of students who were professionally in fashion industries to individuals who wanted to learn garment-making as a hobby. If you ever want to explore this arena, I highly recommend you to try it out.

Given the measurements, we utilized the oilpaper to create a wing pattern.

With help of the protractor, the shape was beginning to come alive. Excited at the prospect of learning again, I became intrigued.

Once the rough sketch is completed, as shown above, we continued to adjust and cut out the patterned fabrics by aligning it with the pre-cut lace model. We were informed that the designer of Gianna only uses foreign fabric laces. Quality much?

As you can see, we were soaked that our products were inching closer to the end. Easier said than done, the cutting of the garments were, admittedly, assisted by the designer of Gianna. Kudos to her! :)

Now that all the fabric is cut, all that needs to be done is sewing the garment onto the white mold.

Sooner or later, a blog will be posted, demonstrating the bra to an actually model. Be excited!

Last but not least, I was able to take a picture with the designer of Gianna. A beautiful person on the inside and outside, the designer of Gianna was someone who continues to inspire those with passion in fashion.

The act of creating a bra from ground up taught me an invaluable lesson of what it entails to make tailored lingerie that is for only one person and that person only. With something so personal like our bra and underwear, the experience allowed me to understand why we must not overlook the quality of our products.
