So late last night I was doing my Sudoku puzzle and look up to see hubby is watching a program on bbc about large breasts. (I know he is such a perv!) I'm half listening and the one girl (only 19) was getting fitted for a bra, and was told that the one she had was all wrong. Did you know that most women don't buy bras that are the right fit? Most women get a size and stick with it through out their whole life. This intrigued me, so I put down the puzzle and listened. The girl went in there thinking she was a 32EE and come to find out she is actually a 30G. Huge, I know! The lady explained that the bra should come around the back in a straight line and if it raises up it is too small. She also said that you should feel the underwire on your ribs and there should be no gap in the front.
I was actually "measured" at Victoria Secret once and told that the size thought I wore was wrong, I just thought the little girl was inexperienced. I did buy the size she said thinking this would never fit , but to my surprise it fit much more comfortably than my other ones.
So this leads to my question....How does yours fit and have you been measured before? Am I the only dork that waited until I was in my 30's before I got a proper fitting bra.

I was measured once at Dillard's (I think). I tried the size that they measured me at but it still wasn't right. I should go to VS and get measured again. I always buy VS bras, and I feel like they fit pretty well, but I could be totally wrong. There is one VS style of bra that I don't like at all. (I can't think of which one right now.)
You know, I heard that too, ironically on BBC America as well, but it was on that show, "What Not to Wear." The two ladies said the exact same thing...most women don't wear the right size bra, and what was so astounding was the difference a bra can make in how you look in your clothes.
I went and got measured after I stopped nursing Miss Priss because for the first time in my life, I actually needed a bra!
I did this about a year ago at that store in Vestavia, I don't think it was right. They measured me to be a size that is IMPOSSIBLE to find on the rack anywhere but there! My Mom went to the same place, she's gone twice and they have measured her differently each time, again, nothing you can buy off the rack. Makes me wonder.
I have worn the same size since HS. I refuse to change. I like my size. My boobs will just have to get over it. =P
I so need to do this! Thanks for the PSA!! LOL
