I always get nervous before a big sale -- like I should've trained harder, stretched more, recruited more friends to help fend off crazed shoppers. But the Crave Spring Market Party, from noon to 4 p.m. June 1 at Seattle Center's Fisher Pavilion, is nothing to stress about, particularly since there will be plenty of opportunities for pampering.

For women on either side of the body spectrum — from teeny to curvaceous — lingerie shopping can be, well, about as fun as a trip to the dentist: You find something pretty, try it on, but it clings here or sags there. Frustrated, you ask the clerk for assistance, but the response isn't encouraging: "Sorry, we don't carry anything in that size." Sound familiar? Well, gals, here's some good news: A bevy of local lingerie boutiques are now catering to a broader range of sizes than ever before.
