Day 2 of the Bra Search in NYC:
I'm running btwn signing for the new apt and prepping for the move. Saw on Yelp one of my bookmarked Lingerie to Try stores was a few blocks away.
Lingerie On Lex: 831 Lexington Ave
A-G cups
Little disappointing first impression - Looks like demographic age 50, but there's some cute stuff. Only seeing Bs out on the floor. Requested 38F. She looked doubtfully at my chest and said "that's what I am." Welcome doubters! I, shallow wide, wearing a sports bra come in peace. I explained that I had just called and was told they had some. But she ran downstairs to look for Fs and Gs. After I made several rounds in the tiny shop, she resurfaced with 4 bras. "This is all I have."
None worked. The Chantelle Rive Gauche came close in a 38F but cut into top of my boobs and none of the gores came near my sternum. Should I go up a size? or simply find bras from that Shallow Bra listing?

Since none of the gores tack, it wouldn't hurt to try a size up. The shallow bra list doesn't work for me at all. I have all of the characteristics of shallow breasts, but none of the recommended bras work for me, so I'd never recommend that anyone stick strictly to the list.
That's good to know! I am definitely gonna try a size up on the next Bra Field Trip.
