I need help with bra size?


Question Posted Tuesday August 10 2010, 4:12 pm


how do u find your correct bra size?? I went to Victoria secret a few yeas ago and got measured for a bra. The lady that measured me told me I was a 42 DD. But I think my bra is a little too big. When I get a 38 D or 38 DD its too small I think. I don't know, But my chest is kinda big and I don't know how to get my correct bra size. I don't want to go somewhere, get measured and have a too big or too small bra. It doesn't look right when I wear the bra size that the lady at victoria secret gave me. Then when I buy bras smaller than that my mom says they are too little. When I get a bra that I think fits, my mom tells me that I should get other bras in that size but the other bras don't feel right and sometimes when I buy bras the straps never stay where I adjust them and I have to put a pin in the straps to keep them from coming down. Yesterday someone told me they didnt know if I was wearing a bra, I was weraing a bra, but its too big I think. Can someone tell me an accurate way of finding my bra size?

Being in sales for over thirty years I can tell you that even though a product might look the same each manufacture produces their product just a little different than another. Just like dresses, blouses and shoes your bra size will differ depending on where it was cut, sown and who the specifying manufacturer is.

For every day bras I would suggest you go to a major department store and ask when one of the fitters from Bali, or Playtex is planning to be in the store. If the department store near you is not planning such an event call the North American office for these manufactures, both are located I believe in NYC. Find out where and when a fitter will be that is close to where you live. If they are not going to have a fitter near where you live they may be able to recommend where you can go that has a salesperson trained to properly fit you. Once you have been shown how a bra should fit you will know how to pick a bra from any other manufacturer so when you want something more delicate you can fit yourself.

An ill fitting bra is not just painful for you it can do you permanent harm as well.

I was measured at VS before and they also measured too big. What you should do is go there and try on a bunch of different styles in different sizes, thats what I finally did until I found a style and size that feels comfortable and has the correct support. Not all bras are created equal. And you can be one size in one style of bra, but a different size in another. So I really reccommend just going to VS and trying on as many as possible until you find one that fits just right. There's different ammount of support and padding in each style, and that is just as important as the size. You need to find a style that fits your shape, and the size in that style that is most comfortable. Not constricting, but most definitely not loose.
