OK, Lise, I resurrected this thread because I had an experience this afternoon that has left me, shall we say, deflated.

Rather than come home right after swimming, I headed out to do some bra shopping. The 2 that I have are in dire need of replacement.

The saleslady insisted that I needed to be remeasured. No way I could wear a 36A. That is just such an uncommon size. I must be a 34-something.

New measurement: 36AA. Actually, 38AA, but they don't commonly make those. She didn't know what to think.

I'm switching to preteen undershirts.
