franceslievensAccording to Bitch's Ultimate Bra Post part 1 a lot of women is wearing a bra that isn't the correct size. I've heard that one before. With the large bands and the small cups which makes your bra ride up in the back. I always keep wondering if that's comfortable. You shouldn't feel your bra, right?
Up until now I've always been very confident with the bra fitting. Being rather flat chested I simply go for an A-cup and the correct band size and I kinda "hope" it fits. It usually does, unless it's a design that's isn't made for my kind of body. Okay, that isn't really the correct way to do it, but I hate bra-fitting. The cup-sizes of two different brands of bras are never the same. It's like trying to fit for the perfect pair of jeans. Those only come handmade or completely worn out.
Now back to the bra. My breasts are playing tricks on me lately. Left and Right were never the same size. One learns to live with that. The woman with a perfect bossom has a great aesthetic surgeon. I'm just saying. Now those tiny, asymmetric breasts don't wish to fit into their tiny bra. It feels all sorts of wrong (and it certainly looks all sorts of wrong when you're constantly adjusting your bra in public). The little suckers (or should I say "suckables"?) managed to inflate themselves over a period of two weeks. Two weeks! If that's only gaining weight I'll be a big mamma at the end of the year. Time will tell if they happen to deflate in two weeks or will stay this way. Then I'll break out the tape measure.

So, for instance, this bra, which fits way better than you'd imagine something so pretty would--that is, it fits very well. With expensive or fine bras, if you're really worried about longevity, the best bet is to wash them by hand (five minutes at the end of the day, with Woolite, in the bathroom sink--hang to dry overnight), although I usually do mine in the washing machine on cold, as described above. Although I normally despise molded-cup bras, I admit that under some of today's tighter t-shirt styles, a lace bra creates the not-so-attractive "cottage cheese" look. I don't mind nipplage, but some do; and molded cups have the advantage, too, of being warm in the winter months. I think that this is a very fine t-shirt bra. I own it, and it's one of my favorites. The molding is cut so that it does *not* accidentally create the quad-boob effect (which a lot of molded cups do, b/c they're cut too low and you overflow them a bit). This bra also has two places in the back where you can adjust the shoulder straps to fit closer in, or farther apart, depending on the neckline / armholes of your shirt. Also, it's extremely comfortable."
I'm wearing right now :)

Date: 2006-02-28 04:02 pm (UTC)The last time my bosoms started growing independent of the rest of my body... for a while anyways, was when I was pregnant.
With EldestGirlLinnit I inflated to a 42F. It was agony, and it lasted for months and months because I breast-fed.
I hate buying bras. I don't understand the logic of the breast minus chest calculation that supposedly gives an accurate bra size, especially with larger women. How can it?! The breasts aren't pert after a while, nor do they have a common chest mass measurement. Breast mass varies in more ways than the distance it protrudes from the torso (which is what the breast measurement captures).
I'd love to meet the people who design bra's...

Date: 2006-03-01 02:37 am (UTC)My breasts do tend to swell a bit in the middle of my cycle. And it can be agony. :-( It's not every month like this, but now it really felt like they were bigger. The whole cup-size was an overstatement really, though. Well, they seem to have gone back into hibernating again today. Until next month.
Just a little anecdote to end my reply: I had a colleague once stating she knew she was pregnant before missing her period, because her breasts started hurting. To which I replied: my breasts hurt every month.

Date: 2006-03-01 02:39 am (UTC)I think it's just my cycle. I've had this happen before, but now it was so obvious.
Oh, and my breasts tend to become a bit bigger when I gain weight. (Possibly because I see it so well when I look at my skinny naked body.)
