    Yeah, at the regular bra stores they will want me to wear a bra that is at least 6 inches too big in the band. It's ridiculous.

    That's just stupid. People will lie about anything to make a sale.

    I think it's just how they were trained and they don't know there are other options and they feel like they need to help you purchase something. So, I don't think they are necessarily lying. They just don't know any better.

    It is just too bad they don't sell a wider range of sizes in most stores. But, they do in some stores, you just need to find the right stores.

    I see the need for best selling book " Art and science of Boob size: Picking the right bra size."

    I wear the wrong size a lot as my size is hard to find. I thought it was just uncomfortable, didn't realise it was a bigger problem than that. I blame the bra companies!

    After years of trying to cram myself into Victoria's Secret bras, I finally went to a real bra store. Turns out I'm a 36I (i)... Main stream stores don't even carry that. I would never have been able to try one of those on in a fitting room.


    Edit for spelling.

    Thanks :)
    But I already know my bra size from some similar information I found awhile ago. Its just that noone near me stocks it (I have done a lot of phoning around the worst reply I got being "well we sometimes stock very small sizes but not really that small" LOL thanks lady!) I have one thats a perfect fit that I got online, and a couple of to big ones that I wear when this ones in the wash. I did buy a couple more online but they didn't fit properly even though they were technically the right size, can't keep spending money on stuff I can't try on. Just one of those things I guess.
