Hello Ladies!

If you have a larger bust size (like me)--whenever you go down and inch or two in bust size, you wanna know how to calculate your new bra size, but! Company's like Victoria's Secret and others try to put you in HUGE band sizes with small cups...GRRR...you get spill over and saggy boobs, sport's bras that make people yell, "get a bra!" at you when you go running (I kid you not! This happened to me when I was wearing TWO sports bras at once (crappy kind I don't buy anymore that they sell in the sportswear section)). Until that one golden day when you go to a proper bra fitter and they say something like, "Oh no honey! You are NOT at 38DD, you are a 34DDDD!" OMG...seriously...Vic's Secret was shoving me into bras they sold in their store (cups only go to DD there) and because that's how they were taught to size...Sad! For me this wonderful place was the Seattle Flagship Nordstrom (Oh ligurie dept. you really do have my size and care about my fit!)--I swear it nearly made me cry.

Anyhow! I'm lost a few inches since then, been resized and am a 32DDD (yay!). I found this fit calculator that does NOT add 4 inches to your band size when sizing--so the cups are accurate!

Website is completely random, but this fitter works great. Underbust and Over bust are all you need. :) Happy hunting ladies!

    ^ I cut and pasted the above post from plantgirl. The topic was locked and I wanted to say AMEN and thank you!!! I have been in the wrong size for years! In high school I was very very small (barely and A) and never thought I'd have large breast. The biggest I ever wore was a D while I was nursing children. The above calculator put me in a 38DD. I thought it must be wrong so I went to the store to try some one and was impressed. Finally a bra that doesn't cut into my sides and puts the girls where they belong! Woo Hoo!!!!

    LOL I had a few bras that were on the older side, they had lace and the lace looked like after pregnancy stretch marks!!!! My back hurt SO BAD that I wasn't even excited to exercise because I knew I'd be hurting afterwards. I got new bras and after 1-2 days I was back up and exercising, dancing, all that stuff and I felt GREAT. I know when I exercise I tend to feel like I could then run a marathon, my downfall is limiting myself so I don't end up hurt instead! lol
