So I've been doing some research and creating spreadsheets and generally just having a grand ole time, when a couple of things occurred to me. Like: Why do we only measure the horizontal depth? Wouldn't it be helpful to measure the vertical depth as well? And why don't we measure the length of the straps, both fully extended and fully shortened?

And why, for ******'s sake, don't the companies actually list this info anywhere?

On the upside, I think I'm going to keep the two bras that I was debating on; they ended up fitting pretty well once I wore them for more than 10 minutes. They'll probably fit even better once this stupid water retention subsides, lol.

  • JJ has indicated that he didnt want too many data points because he was worried most users would give up if it took any longer to enter a bra. Other ppl have asked about adding cup height.

    and yeah, it really bothers me that companies dont give any ACTUAL information about the fit of their bras. The closest they come is to say what bra is based off of what other bra. But they advertised Olivia as being based off of Floris, but failed to mention its more closed on top. Mmmm . . . no, doesnt work.

    really weird. idk.

  • Yes, every time new measurements have been added, I believe they saw a decrease in the number of people entering any measurements at all for the bras they recorded on the site.
