Bras, bras, and more bras

I'm ECSTATIC that I'm shrinking in the chest area but man is it frustrating having to continually buy new bras. It'd be one thing if I could roam the discount bin at Victoria's Secret or buy cheapos from Walmart but those places don't carry the size that carries my ladies. *sigh*

    I understand completely! Maybe you can pin the sides of the bras or have them altered to fit you.

    Also how did you reduce the chest area? I'm a 34H and only 157 lbs at 5'6". I feel like I'll never lose this albatross around my neck...

    I went from F to a D now. They aren't perky obviously but I can buy great bras at target now

    Albatross! Ha! That's a tricky combination too, with the relatively small band:cup size. :/ I started as a 40H, then a 36G which seems like I just bought it but they're flying loose in those cups now. lol
    Didn't do anything special. Just happening with overall fat loss. Down 45 lbs so far!

    I haven't gone down in cup size yet, but I did just buy a couple sports bras yesterday. I bought them a size smaller in the band, thinking I could wear them now (a bit snugly), and as I lost some weight, they'd still fit. However, I tried them on when I got home, and they aren't snug at all! In fact, I probably could have gone down 2 band sizes. I have only lost 4 pounds so far, but most of it seems to be back-fat. Not that I'm complaining about losing it. It was just a real shock. Guess I'll be buying new bras again sooner rather than later! :wink:

    if you go to intimacy (and maybe with some of the other specialty stores where they do proper measurements and fittings) they will allow you to take the bra back to them for alterations. at $75 per bra, they better! mostly i've used it for the band, whether it's been stretched or i've gotten smaller they will re-tailor it and send it back for free. they also have pretty bras in the big sizes. if you're going to invest while in a transitional period maybe that would be a good option.

    Glad I can actually wear sports bras now...I am a breast cancer survivor and one of my girls is shrinking so much faster than the other one! as if bra sizing wasnt hard enough!

    Sounds like it would be, but I don't have anything like that near me.

    I went from C to a Small B I think. They're swimming since I can't afford good new bras yet /:
    After all the trauma we go through getting healthy, this should be free to exchange! lol
