Your "official" bra size?

princess-pickle · Sep 15, 2007

I wear the right size.

..i'm a 32b, but I am still young though!

rosiemac · Sep 15, 2007

Yes i always get measured for mine

goldenkitty45 · Sep 15, 2007

I thought you caught The View where Whoopie found the proper bra size for herself - they did the same thing. Apparently that's the way you should measure.

Maybe redo yours - that's a big difference in cup size. Can see it being one cup difference (B-C) then an A-C????

Nothing will ever fit me right as after the biopsy surgery (a large mass was removed from one), am now actually different sizes by about a half cup size. It doesn't matter if they measure me, there isn't a bra that I can buy that will fit right. I just have to giggle about it and joke with my DH that I lean to the left.

Love it!

I want a "maximizer." Do they have those?

You can get fitted for free by anyone at Victorias Secret!

mrs.harris · Sep 15, 2007

I'm a 36 B and I wear it!! One day they will be bigger though....

theimp98 · Sep 15, 2007

i voted for other,

i guess i could use duct tape?

danimarie · Sep 15, 2007

I don't trust this.

According to these measurements I should be a 38A.

I'm actually a 36DD.

Maybe I did it wrong???

No, I just did it again.

Nope, I do not trust this.

rubsluts'mommy · Sep 15, 2007

to those who wish they were bigger... trust me, you don't. It may look like a blast having boobies, but at 34G, I long for the days I used to fit into a C cup... I think I was about 14?

I can't shop in VS, or department stores... I have to buy $$$ bras from specialty shops. And finding clothes that fit? hmm... I wish.

As for whomever it was who was trying on bras and found that diff. manufacturers' sizes vary... yup. Which is why i can't order online. I bought two perfectly good bras a year ago online... same size as what I was fitted at. The lacy one is too big, even for my larger side. The sports bra? HAH! You're kidding, right? I know they're supposed to be snug, but cutting of circulation is more than snug.

Fortunately, I did find a local shop here in Portland that not only carries my size, but my favorite bra (wearing right now). The website for the store Intimacy has listings of places that do proper fittings. One thing I've found is that proprietary shops, like VS, tend to try and cram you into THEIR bras... even if you're too big. They tried putting me into a 38D. Yeah, sure.

Off to work now...

Just as a FYI-you can get measured in a speciality shop and then find same bras brand new on ebay for a lot less.

The bra I wear and love is $56., I buy them for about half on ebay.

tara g · Sep 15, 2007

I will find out when I get home - there are no tape measurers here that are the "soft" kind. Just the regular toolbox type. Either way, the 34/36A bra size I am is too small IMO!!

bastet&figgy · Sep 15, 2007

I'm a 34 DD according to them and the tag on my bra....would be nice if VC carried more than bras's bigger than a C cup....i swear I am forced to wear the uggliest undergraments!

jarvis · Sep 15, 2007

Uhg...I'm positive I'm not wearing the right size. I have really small breasts...somewhere in the A range. I'm always either just wearing a sports bra, which is uncomfortable and doesn't work with some clothes...OR trying a padded bra, which always just makes them look fake!

Some ppl suggest I just go w/o, but I HATE that feeling...and they aren't small enough so you can't tell! Grr...

I need to go get a fitting and some advice, especially since I've put on a few lbs in the last year and I can tell a bit of it went there...but it's on the end of my long list of things to do...:/

kerry'n'ben · Sep 15, 2007

im 20 and should wear a 36 FF

but these sizes have no pretty bra's and no places near me have this size anyway

so i tend to wear a 40 E during the day for comfort and a 42 DD if i need to emphasise my assets e.g. going clubbing

. My main problem is that i get a lot of back pain due to the weight of my chest

I've tried doing that on occasion... I never find the exact bra I want in my size on eBay... not even all the specialty shops carry this brand. It's eastern European, I believe. I love the darn thing so much I need at least two to alternate, but only have one... they run about 65-70.

I also have a push-up-y, plunge one... THAT'S for costuming... certainly not an 'every day' bra... if I lean over, the girls fall out... but it's darn fun wearing it... it's hard to find fun bras in my size.

I really should go over to my local shop and see what else they have... I'll probably end up spending about 150 bucks... on two bras. Oh, for the days I could buy a $20 bra...

Actually VS does carry up to DD. Now if their DD's come in 34, I don't know... I know they have 36DD. Here's the tip: they don't put the DD's on the racks... they hide the blasted things in the drawers against the wall... Back when I was deluding myself into thinking I was a DD, I asked why I never see them... the salesgirl clued me in.

(there's a new girl who signs her posts Manda... so i figure I just use my first initial *out of Amanda*... to cut down on confusion? Eh, who knows...)

capt_jordi · Sep 15, 2007

I went bra shopping the other day... I am 20, 5'2 and weigh 110lbs... but I am a size 34D... it sucks... and most places dont carry that size, well they do but they are expensive and I am cheap... well I'm a poor college kid....
Before I went on BC I was a low B.... and in 2 years I've grown to a D... its no fun... I curse it often!
