So, right after I had my daughter I decided enough was enough and bought two bras from Victoria secret (Don't worry, I didn't pay full price! Thank god for gift cards from family and their semiannual sale.. ;)) Anyway, I went in and bought and got sized, and was told I was a 36D. Well, I knew I was a 38, but .. they didn't have any for sale in a 38. So I bought a bra extender that had four extra notches.

In july, when I started, I was on the outer most notch. Today, I put it on the last one. Another few pounds and I won't need it at all!! YAAAAY!!!!

(And my cup size stayed the same, so double NSV.. lol!!)

    Lucky! My boobs were the first thing to go. And since I refuse to drop money on clothes I will be out of soon, I'm just swimming in my bras. Congrats on both smaller size around and not losing a handful!

    What a great NSV! I had a similar one today, too. After starting out with size 40B/C (depended on who made the bra), 56 lbs ago, I finally caved in and went to Macy's big sale today and bought some 36B bras that fit well. Hooray! I haven't seen that size on me in years and years! It feels great, doesn't it? Thank you for sharing!!

    Well done! I'm forever having to change my bra size, up, down, up, down. My boobs are the first thing that put on weight/lose weight. Costing me a fortunte in underwear!

    Awesome! But never buy your bras from Victoria's Secret. As your story basically illustrates, they will cram anyone in any bra they can sell. Go somewhere like Nordstrom to get a properly fitting bra. Victoria has crazy sizes and they are terrible at fitting. In the past they would try to put me in a 38DD when I'm really a 36F. A well fitted bra makes a world of difference! And you usually look thinner as well.

    Those are great NSVs! I too have had bra extenders on my bras, in my case for YEARS. They do not make pretty, comfortable bras in my size. And now I have 2 bras at least that I can wear without them!! They fit just fine!! I have other bras I need to try, but I am pretty sure they will fit too! :)

    YAY for us!!
