Breast Friends
So, ever since I started my 'Quest for a Well-Fitting Bra', my sister and best friend/almost sister, have been watching me curiously. My little sister especially. She's been wearing the same 34A bras since she was in high school, and one day, since I seemed to be delving into this stuff so much, she asked me if I could figure out why her bras felt funny. So, she showed me, and, as I'm sure you can all guess, the cups were too small, the band was too big. I sent her stuff like the sizemapp calculator, and articles on the correct way to put on a bra, and so she tried that, and got 30D as her size, which is what I figured she'd probably need. Given as most retail places don't stock anything below a 32 band, she tried on 32Cs in La Senza which seemed to fit her pretty well, but unfortunately, other conditions that day lead to no bra purchases. Our next stop was the lingerie place I'd been to get fitted (albeit incorrectly) but I thought if anywhere would stock a 30 band, that would be the place to check. They didn't have any 30D plunges available, so the sales lady brought her a 30C, to see if maybe that would fit (her first comment upon entering the fitting room. 'That's definitely too small') She did end up trying some things on that fit, but didn't feel as though anything fit spectacularly enough for the price tag. My best friend got an unmoulded Fantasie bra in 32D in black and gold, gorgeous bra, and it looked incredible on her. Yesterday, my sister told me that she'd gone back to La Senza, had a much better experience, and bought 3 32C bras that made her feel like they were giving her boobs a hug. So, I'm pretty happy for her.
