Okay I know this is reeeeaaallly late but today I went to Victoria's Secret for the shits and giggles to see how bad they really were at fitting (also because it was my 18th birthday) and honestly no words can describe. The lady asked me my current size and for the purpose i wore my 36DD (at this point I thought maybe I'd be closer to a size 32FF/H 32G/I at most, this was not the case which means that I'm more than likely going to have to return @Fantasie Francesca in 32FF, so far the only bra that was a close fit was my parfait 34G and EVEN THEN the gore will start to dig into my boobs after wearing it for 2+ hours) she then just measured me around my chest over my shirt and with my bra on. Considering the fact that I'm on the small side I'm pretty sure they just put me in the smallest back size that they had (32), which still ended up being kind of big on me, with the largest cup size that they had available (DDD/F). THIS DID NOT FIT AT ALL I WAS SPILLING OUT EVERYWHERE. I also had to wear the band on the last hook and EVEN THEN, I could still fit my fist under it/pull it away/play jump rope with it, you get the point. In all honesty I thought that I would've been a 32FF/H maybe a 32G/I at most considering the fact that I've gained weight but that just showed that I'm nowhere close to a 32 band (My boobs and butt grew but apparently those were the only areas where I really gained the weight at) The confusing part is that I walked in wearing an (altered) 36DD which I'm having some overflow in and if I'm not mistaken 32DDD is roughly a size or so smaller? Yet they tried to convince me that the bras fit and that I looked nice in them despite the fact that my boobs were comparable to an exploded can of biscuits. Granted the styles were cute but there's nothing cute about boobs looking like they're about to snap a bra. 10/10 Do not recommend. Anyways after this I'm at a complete loss as to what my actual size could be so it's back to the drawing board.

I so much hate what they´re doing to women! >:(
Convincing that an ILL-fitting bra fits, women will only feel bad about their bodies.
Like many others have said I'm just glad that I knew what an ill fitting bra looked like/feels like otherwise there would've been an 80% chance that i would've gotten at least one and mistaken the boob tissue being forced out from the sides of the bras as back fat and my boobs being smashed and squeezed as "an okay fit". What bothers me the most is that if they're using this tactic on me then how many more are they using it on where they also slap them into the smallest band/biggest cup size that they carry and try to sell it to them? It's infuriating and some people actually try to defend it as a marketing strategy. Like no there are actually physical and mental health risks that can arise just from wearing an ill fitting bra of any size.
