Is it okay to ask for fitting help when I am just trying to assess fit? Meaning, I truly do not know if these bras fit me or not. This whole bra fitting thing is fairly new to me. Hahaha. I am trying so many items that are out of my comfort level that was firmly established by Victorias Secret, which just happens to be one of the few places for me to get fitted in my area. I have now purchased Freya bras, Curvy Kate, Harlequin, and an Affinitas Parfait, all in vastly different sizes from the one I was wearing before. . . . . sizes I didn't even know existed until a few months ago (or at least not in my size. I was pretty sure DDD, F, G, etc. cups had to be enormous...)....I have seen many examples of proper and improper fitting bras, but for some reason cannot seem to assess the fit on myself. I think I am having a hard time accepting my cup letters, even though I know they are all proportioned to fit my band size and really aren't that much different than my VS 36DD in cup. I think it is also difficult because I have grown so accustomed to seeing mad cleavage in photos posted by bra retailers that my perception is skewed, even though I know better than to think that is how they are supposed to fit.
