I´m a bit frustrated...
I have been reading various sewing blogs because I have started to sew my own bras, and I´ve come across with some bra fitting issues. It seems that many who sew their bras, don´t have a clue about bra fitting! What do you guys think about someone, who thought she "was 32A", and it turned out in a professional fitting that "she is 36B"? And afterwards, when she measured herself "she really is 36C"?
This person is quite thin, and I´d estimate more like 32DD or so. But "true size" aside, I think there is no way that someone who has been wearing 32 anything for years, will really need 36 bands. What kind of a professional fitter will say so? I don´t even want to think about the cup size... it must be so terribly wrong size.

The kind that's trying to sell more inventory? If manufacturers make more 36C's and limit 32A's on the assumption that teens and women who are small busted are proportionally low in number fractional segment of the total market, and these items reach stores with a local population that wears other sizes, there will be a crap-ton of 36C's to sell, preferably with the smallest discount on price, then in-store clearance, and if there are still some left over they go to discount dealers like Ross.
@Fairy79 I know what you mean. When I was dong research for making my own bra, most patterns and tutorials advise to use the +4 method and it's just ridiculous. Most women who think to make their own bras is usually because the standard bra matrix sizes aren't working for them.
...it's a little mind boggling. lol :)
