I need a 34-band intervention!
The next time I see a 34DD bra for a really good price (that isn't Panache or one of its sub-brands), and start thinking I should buy it, I need one of you to give me a good smack upside the head. Seriously.
Non-Panache 34 bands always end up the same way: at best, they're slightly too loose even on the tightest hooks — not unwearably so, but as soon as the band starts stretching out a bit, that's it. Not a good deal no matter how cheap the bra was.
Just because I fit into a 34DD in Panache bras and have owned quite a number of them, does not mean I should buy that size in other brands. It's an easy size to find, but six months after having my proper-bra-size epiphany, I should know that I need 32 bands in almost all other bras. (Also, once I take off the bit of weight I've put on since last summer because Achilles tendinitis disrupted my gym routine, it's obvious that I'll be needing 30 bands.)
Why do I keep doing this to myself (and my bra budget)?
I can't be the only one who indulges in bra-related wishful thinking, but I really need to stop!

I know that feeling :/
Pardon me while I shamefully scoot my assorted 32DDDs and 32Es to a hidden spot so no one knows my folly. One day I will list the damn things! Just because something is *ON SALE* does not mean it will magically fit me :'(
You are not alone!!!
I have kept bras that don´t fit perfectly, because they are so cute or cheap... I´m really trying not to do that again.
