Measuring epiphanies
Measuring bras is a pain in the ass so I admit to procrastinating. (Sorry, JJ; hope this post will serve as my penance.)
However, I always learn something that explains a fit issue when I do measure a bra. For instance, when I measured the 2 Avocado bras I just got from ginganinja, I realized why they don't fit.
When I wrote my reviews right after receiving them, I noted that the overall height/tallness would preclude sizing up in the cup. Having measured them, I know why they seemed to be so full coverage: it's the length of the wires.
I guess it makes sense that a longer wire would dictate a taller cup, but having this "aha" moment will help guide my future purchases.

The measurements have become my best friends. Cup separation is my indicator of fit now, but like you, I didn't know until I started measuring ;-) Thanks for all the measurements you've added: you help so many of us. :-)
