Fitting the Girls (possibly TMI)

Today I went for my first bra fitting at a fancy department store. Well, the first one since I was 13. I have always worn a 36C (well not when I was 13!).

Anyhow, so I go in to get fitted because I'm in desperate need of some new bras and I HATE HATE HATE shopping for them. Much to my surprise, I'm actually a 34DD. :eek::eek: No one ever told me I was stacked! I have a whole new outlook on life!

Kinda like when I got my Luna. It's a 49cm equivalent, and I had always ridden 54cm (and never really felt comfortable). (I had to bring this back to the bike, somehow).

okay, pardon the interruption...back to your regular programming...

lol!! I wanna go to your bra fitting store and see if they can help me out... (alas, a 36A) :D

Funny enough.... I was watching something on television that was talking about how 90% of women are wearing a bra that is too small.... so I decided measuring for a proper bra can't exactly be rocket science right. Someone online must give the proper instructions for doing it.

So I found several sites explaining how, several methods.... I came up with 3 sizes ranging from 28 D to "you don't need a bra"....

talk about confusing.

One site did explain that cup size gets smaller proportionate with band size - so a DD in a 32 is NOT an equivalent volume to a DD in a 40. Its one reason a lot of women are wearing a bra that is too small. Us littler folks tend to think, well I have pretty small boobs so I take an A cup right? Not so much. Even a moderately sized chest can be a C or D cup if you have a narrow rib cage too.

same with me, I've been losing weight, and have shrunk out of another cheap sports bra. I decided to upgrade and get something nicer, and the size I usually wear was way too big! She measured me, and I went from thinking I was a 40D, into a 36DD. Pretty excited actually :) I got this one from title nine:
