A friend suggested I try 32 C (I was really skinny) and omg, it worked. I think that's an important part about professional fittings, to get you out of your rut. So, congratulations! Although I have heard stories of fittings going horribly wrong...<br />Happy bra shame. That's the best wish I can come up with.cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-49971701606456400072011-09-29T17:27:17.956-07:002011-09-29T17:27:17.956-07:00I hate bra shopping too, but I forced myself to go...I hate bra shopping too, but I forced myself to go in for a bra fitting @ Victoria's Secret last December after losing a LOT of weight. I discovered that I was wearing a band size six inches too big and a cup size three sizes too small! End result was I went from a 46C to a 40DDD! But only if it's a demi cup because I'm getting old and don't fill out the top of the cup anymore, and I can't stand to have a gap, even if it does hold my cell phone nicely. For comfort reasons I've settled on a 42DD. I can both fill that up AND breathe. But I still hate bra shopping as much as I hate the DMV, or maybe more.Calihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124023839136539246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-71978145489390240692011-09-29T15:58:12.547-07:002011-09-29T15:58:12.547-07:00Nancy: You have what I would call a "splendid...Nancy: You have what I would call a "splendid figure."<br />I'm thinking, what if, just what if bra manufacturers (or their PR side) caught a whiff of this post and learned how much we are appalled by the experience?

Guess you owe him a good home cooked meal... with you for dessert!<br />The Bufatsa would never do that. I think it's the trauma of having raised 3 daughters and being formerly married for over 20 years. He said he was in a swamp of estrogen for too long to even walk into a lingerie department. Bras and tampons are definitely off his shopping lists.Southern Cookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061937435363027753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-3213399202193162982011-09-28T19:57:38.514-07:002011-09-28T19:57:38.514-07:0036C, SINCE YOU ASKED36C, SINCE YOU ASKEDcookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-3238384773738864942011-09-28T18:48:30.892-07:002011-09-28T18:48:30.892-07:00Veggie Gnome: I know!

Sad.<br /><br />Dahlia: I should rent him out! But he'd have to "assess" your tit size. He'd like that; you might not.<br /><br />Little Pots: This was a Playtex.

I can't imagine my SO trying to describe my size ("hmmm, they're about *this* big")<br /><br />As another tough to fit gal (I'm with you on the padding, I've-got-my-own-shape-thank-you), I broke down and had Nordstrom's fit me. The saleswoman spent an hour with me trying various styles, cuts, etc. I walked out with three and have kept to the brand/style since. It was worth a little extra time and expense, as I too cannot abide by pinching or squishing, I run around too much!Kris https://www.blogger.com/profile/05976897107513835505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-8603508385294411452011-09-28T17:09:32.145-07:002011-09-28T17:09:32.145-07:00I usually read your posts for 1) the simple, good,...I usually read your posts for 1) the simple, good, non-fancy-schmancy food ideas, and 2) the pith.
