Lessons learned. I am really mad at myself right now. I bought two bras about a month ago. When they arrived and I tried them on I felt the band seemed stretchier than usual and I had some minor quadboob going on, but after giving everything a jiggle it seemed to settle down and it was barely noticeable. So I decided to keep them rather than send them back or exchange for a different size. After all size 28 backs are always too tight for me and I couldn't possibly need a dd or e cup, right? And as the bra will stretch the problem will probably go away.
Well this morning while getting ready for work I put on said bra, scooped, shimmied the wires up a bit and stood up straight. Lo and behold I have 4 boobs. I tried everything. I jiggled, twisted and tried to stuff it back into the cups. I lengthened the straps right out. Nothing would make it go away. Then I looked down and noticed that the center gore is sitting about half a cm away from my chest. As the bra is still fairly new I was wearing it on the loosest hook so I brought it in to the tightest one to see if it would help. Well, it did bring the gore in a little but it made the quad boob even worse.
More than anything I'm just mad at myself, I knew I had signs of a not so good fit but I ignored it rather than go through the hassle of sending something back. Oh well I guess I have two nice new bras to donate to the local op shop.
