Ladies - Bra question and breast topic

Funny (and true) story:

I lost a LOT of weight. One day after a shower, my (then) husband said: "How was the party?" I said "What party???" He pointed to my boobs and said, "The one you went to a week ago.... but the party balloons are deflated"

Shortly after that comment he paid for my mastopexy surgery

And then I filed for divorce.

OMG He sounds like my ex fiancee, that boy made me cry so many times but I never left him for that, but I wish I had bc It took something a lot more serious than that for me to finally leave him.

Go to Nordstrom or similar department store for a fitting. DO NOT GO TO VICTORIAS SECRET. They will give you a BS size to make sure it is one they carry in the store. So if you are really a 34DDD, they'll just give you a 36DD because they don't carry DDD.

I can't speak for all VS stores but this wasn't the case at the Two I worked at. If you were too big we would try to put you into a bra that may work but then would also be honest and tell you where you could find bras that would fit. That sucks that happened to you.
I also think you should get sized somewhere. I highly recommend the Felina brand at Macys. They go up in DDD I believe and are super cute and hold you in and up. Lift and seperate.

Kids kill your boobs IMO. Go get measured you will feel better once you find a bra that works for you. It can make your whole shape look different once you find one that works. Good job losing all that weight!!!!!

For "perkier" girls you should go to the smallest band size that fits you and work on cup size from there.

Cup size is a measure of the depth of the cup. When the band size goes up so does the width of the cup but the depth stays the same. So if you go to a comfortable but snug band size the cup width will be smaller, so you go to a deeper cup size...this makes the "girls" more centered (less armpit boob) and protrude more (deeper cup)... Thus appearing more perky!

Hope this helps!

I went to a cute little independent shop and got fitted, and now I'll never going back to cheap department stores for bras.
They didn't measure me, they asked what size I thought I needed, and gave me one to try on. Then, based on how ridiculous that looked, they brought me some other sizes. They were very thorough... when they thought they'd gotten it right, they had me put a t-shirt on, to make sure there was no little bump near the seam that would mean the cup was a little too tight.
I was wearing a cup size too small, and 2 inches too big in the band... but I was going by standard size charts. The women at the shop told me never to use the charts.
They also told me the same thing others have said about making sure you start on the last (farthest out) hook on a new bra, and also the strange +1 cup/-2 band equation.
If you don't want to spend the money at a boutique, perhaps just try their methods. If you're spilling out the top, try a cup size up, but 2 inches down on the band. If that's still not a good fit, adjust again from there. It'll be a lot of trial and error... so I'd suggest bringing 4 in the fitting room to start--one 2" smaller in the band, and one 4" smaller and then 2 with progressively smaller cups--pick the most comfortable one, and then increase decrease again (if needed) to find the perfect fit. Personally, I'd rather get fitted for one perfect $60 bra, than spend so much time guessing at it in the fitting room of a Target to save forty bucks.

I've been measured a few times, I've done my own measurements as well. I was measured at Fredrick's (bra store here more of a lingerie) and Victoria Secret's. Victoria Secret's Told me I was a 36 D, then when I said that my straps fall on a 36 with the things tighten as far as they go and that it's pretty loose on my back as well. She then said "Oh, well then go to a 34 D" and I took her advice and now the 34 I bust out of. Fredrick's said I was in a 34 DD and the site I went to and put my measurements in said 34 DD to 34 E.

So I guess I'll go for that 34 DD...

I do lift weights, so just keep doing those? I just recently started the weights though. I also do yoga. I am trying hard to get a flat tummy and cut arms.

are they heavy weights, try and go as heavy as you can, don't worry abuot loising your breast do to muscles that takes hours days weeks in the gym,

They are 3lb dumbbell's I do not workout in a gym, and the heaviest weight's I own are dumbbells as of right now. Maybe one day I can get into a gym.

yea I would say go for bigger, I lift about 50 pounds and the mass around my chest got really big and full, maybe just pick some up when you get a chance, but the higher you lift the more muscles you will have to support the lady's
