The Importance of a Properly Fitting Bra
Look, it can make or break your look. I love the statistics of how so many women are wearing the wrong size bra, and then it never fails I get some idiot fitter who keeps telling me I can go up in the band to compensate for my cup size just so they can make a sale when they don’t carry my actual size. Even when trying to find a nursing bra they kept telling me this, I ended up with a 38 band. You know what happens when you take a 32/34 and put her in a 38?
Gawd, isn’t THAT pretty.
The other extreme is just as bad in a completely different way. Buying the right band size but the wrong cup size creates a look that can only be called “ass-chest.”
Then there’s the time that the angels sing in a beautiful chorus because, like Goldilocks, you find the one that is JUST RIGHT.
Just for good measure

Man i REFUSE to wear nursing bras. Refuse. They look totally fugtastic, and they don’t fit right. I long since gave up and bought Victoria’s Secret – and I HATE the butt chest. I also hate the boob overflow into the armpit (one ill-fitting bra look that you didn’t mention). You know, when you have arse chest AND armpit boob? Hawt.

I haven’t bought any new bras since before the invasion of the body-snatching baby who is now two. The old ones are still the right size, but after so long, they start to get all stretchy stretchy. So, I’m on the sag wagon. Must.go.shopping.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Didn’t you know skinny people aren’t supposed to have boobs, much less require nursing bras? I have to special order my bras for this reason, and they cost $65. Hence my impending boob reduction in about 3 years.
I was THRILLED by the difference when I had my professional fitting. It made such a huge difference. What surprised me the most about it is that I never would have thought the size I ended up with actually fit right, it seemed a bit roomy. But I guess that’s why so many women are in the wrong size, they end up with bras that are actually too small in the cup.

Oh that is some funny stuff! I have ass chest a lot because I REFUSE to go up a cup size just to go right back down a week after I start exercising. Yes, I’m probably a little too stubborn, but a form fitting cami tucks them in
June 4th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Bra shopping just sucks–really. Happy you found the right one

And you are so right. Going up in band is recipe for wearing your band around your shoulder blades. MAN I hate that. I’m a 40G and I hate looking for bras BUT….you gotta find one where the girls are perky.
Yay for perky bewbs!

I hate it that it’s so hard to find the small band/large cup combo in most stores. I went to Kohl’s the other day in hopes of finding bras that didn’t require the investment of a small fortune to purchase, and they had exactly two bras in my size in the entire store. I, however, will not be posting the results of that fitting.

I found you from Lotus’s contest. You rock the well fitting bra, girlfriend! Congratulations.
I literally once had a bra saleswoman tell me that I could pick any band size I wanted, but that I would still get the D cup — “because if you’re a D-cup, you’re a D-cup.” Idiot. This was in a maternity store, where I was desperately looking for a 34D or even DD because that’s what pregnancy does to me. Only I thought I was the only one in the world with that problem, since bras don’t come in those sizes pretty much anywhere. (Try finding 32C either, when not pregnant. HA!) So I sympathize deeply with this post.
Also: amazing what a well-fitted can do, huh?!

also found you via Lotus’s contest and holy crap – it is SO amazing what a properly fitting bra did to the bewbs. What kind is it, if you don’t mind me asking, and where were you fitted? I was fitted, the same day, same store (VS) by two different employees who each gave me a different number. I did it on purpose, to see if that would happen … so I really must find someone who can tell me how small my itty bitty titties are!
