Minimize large chest in clothes
As an Apple with a 42ddd chest I feel like no matter what I wear all the world sees is boobs. I genuinely feel like my breasts are out of proportionally large for my body as I’m also short. I really don’t like having a large chest and would like to try to minimize it as much as possible. A lot of Apple shaped advice talks about drawing attention to your chest and I really dont want to do that :/ has anyone had any luck downplaying a larger chest with their fashion? Or alternatively if anyone has any experience w chest binders and where to get one for a larger body? Thank u!

Bikini advice for apple/inverted triangle body
I wanted to take the plunge this year and find a bikini that I feel good in and most importantly, shows off my tummy tat haha. But with this body type I am feeling less and less confident about finding something that looks good and thinking about just giving up and sticking to my one pieces. I would really like to find something like the example pic I posted from LA apparel, more of a sports bra type shape to the top, as I really don’t like showing off my chest/cleavage. I have a large chest and it’s hard to find stuff with adequate support that is not super femme. Also looking for more of a high cut leg for the bottoms as I feel like the more full coverage stuff can start giving diaper vibes with my apron belly and lack of hips tbh lol. I’m not as self conscious about my belly, I am more self conscious about my lack of ass and disproportional body shape being highlighted. I bought a set online (the one I’m wearing in the pics) and while it looks great from the front it is an absolute mess in the back, the rise of the bottom is too high and obviously the top is not large enough 🤦🏻♀️ seeking out advice for where to purchase something that’ll fit my body shape as most plus sized swimwear is catered to curvier folks which unfortunately I am not.

AMP U400 underpinner advice
Hi yall, looking for some advice. We just got an AMP U400 to replace our older model Cassese and I am feeling like we have made a huge mistake. Off the bat, the lack of adjustable 90 degree fence is perplexing as it exists on the more expensive computerized model but not on this one. IMO that should be a default feature. I’ve also noticed despite following the advice of the manual to have the foot/plunger/whatever thing as close to the moulding as possible the moulding still separates upon firing the vnail. When I clamp the moulding the join looks fine but when I fire the vnail it ends up separating, which is driving me completely insane!!!
I am a skilled vnailer and the primary user of the joiner. I have been framing for 10 years and it’s making me question my ability to join a frame! 🤣 How is it that I was getting perfect corners on the half broken Cassese and yet I’m struggling on this shiny new machine??
Bonus issue: the fences are not made of a smooth metal and scratched the backs of the first couple frames I joined, learned my lesson there and added a thin protective layer between the fence and the frame.
I am completely at a loss of how to make this machine function the way I would like to and have half the mind to make my boss return it but I don’t think that’s an option 😭 If anyone has any tips, tricks, or suggestions on how to improve the functionality of this machine it would be much appreciated!! Me and my sanity will thank u, lol. 🖼️
