If anyone wants info on bra sizing...
(Anonymous) 2013-06-15 03:22 am (UTC)(link)http://www.epbot.com/2013/04/everything-you-never-knew-you-needed-to.html
Pay particular attention to the graphic showing how cup volume is a function of both cup size and band size, i.e. a 40D holds a greater volume than a 34D.
Then read this post about how to put on a bra properly, using the "swoop and scoop" maneuver:
http://brasandbodyimage.wordpress.com/2012/09/05/putting-your-bra-on-properly/
This is very important. How carefully you measure and shop are moot if you aren't careful about how you put on a bra.
Finally, read this Reddit post about how to measure yourself (only has UK and US sizes, though):
WARNING: you may end up spending a LOT of time reading through comments, as educational as it may be...
http://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/rh26h/is_getting_fitted_for_a_bra_as_humiliating_as_it/c469bi0
These changed my life, man.
I thought I was a 34C, but my measurements using the above guide came out as 32DD (!). I thought that was ridiculous, because I always thought that anything above a C (or especially a D) was HUGE and I have tiny boobs. I went out and tried on a 32DD using the "swoop and scoop" method and... holy shit, it fit perfectly! I tried on a 32D just in case and was pooching out over the top. After wearing a 32DD for a while, I can't get over how much more comfortable it is compared to my older bras. Yeah, the band is more snug and that takes some getting used to, but it's a good snug and doesn't cut into my torso. It also solved the problem I was having with my bra always riding up in front. More importantly, the wider DD cups mean the underwires never cut into my boobs! This is how it was supposed to be all along, people!
I'd be careful about Victoria's Secret. Before I read the above posts, I went there on a quest for a bra that wouldn't ride up in front and the girl who measured me (using a different technique than the above) insisted I was a 34B, even though bras of that size had me pooching out over the top (even without doing the "swoop and scoop"). She also said the riding-up problem meant my band was too big and I might want to try a larger band. This seemed to make sense, but I had already gone from a 36B to 34C to fix the problem of my bra riding up in back... Arg! Anyway, she was so many kinds of wrong, I can't even.
Upside: I have a bra that fits! Downside: a DD bra in a 32 band is so much harder to find than I expected. I thought only people with cup sizes above DDD couldn't go to 'regular' stores. So far, Macy's has been a success, but forget about somewhere like Target.
