So...stitches ripping is a bad thing, right?

I just got my new Shock Absorber Active Multi Sports (4490) bra in the mail and the band is INCREDIBLY TIGHT. My ribcage is 25.5-26 inches and I could only just do it up in a 28FF. I'm sitting at my computer and I just heard stitches pop when I inhaled!! That can't be good!

  • I´ve heard Shock absorber has a tight band, but that tight?? Why don´t the call it 26 if it really is...
    Is your 25.5 - 26 measurement the tightest you can get, or looser, exhaled / inhaled?

  • 25.5 is with the tape measure pulled really tight, and it's 27 loose and 28 inhaled. I'm never sure what I should use as my measurement! Yeah it's silly, they should definitely call it a 26!
