Jill Scott says her curves are fun but...
NEW YORK (AP) -February 25, 2008 "I have large breasts," Scott told The Associated Press in a
recent interview. "I've been blessed with them, and I need
something that can support (them)."
She's had bras custom-made, and has even worn two at a time -
"a bra for lift, and one for shape," the 35-year-old
Grammy-winning singer/actress said. But still no relief.
Now Scott believes she's found a solution for herself - and
millions of other voluptuous women - with her "Butterfly" bra for
plus-size store Ashley Stewart.
The bra, which Ashley Stewart says is "inspired" by Scott,
puts additional fabric and support on the back of the garment
rather than on the shoulder straps, which can cut into the skin.
"I got tired of the hurting shoulders - that's not nice," said
Scott, who starred in last fall's hit film "Why Did I Get
Married?" She is touring to promote her latest album, "The Real
Thing: Words and Sounds, Vol. 3."
There was a time, Scott said, when she considered breast
reduction but decided against it, fearing the surgery would be
painful.
"Besides, I really enjoy my breasts," she said. "They've been
with me for a long time - without being too graphic, we've had
fun!"
