Why hang this bra on the bedstead when you could be wearing it to enhance your feminity! That is what I think about bras from Aubade, a long time French manufacturer of excellence- bot oh sooo expensive. This bra reveals your nipples behind the lacy cup shell and is not a perfect support, but I like it anyway

Bought this many because it looked sexy with matching panty girdle. Padding is too thick and does not produce much of a rounded profile. You can see this on the pix.

I've just returned from Europe. I needed a new bra, and was amazed to discover that measurements are not universal. I gave a shop assistant my US measurements. No dice. Nothing she found came close to fitting snugly even though the label identified the size. Is this common?

Still trying to get larger boobs without resorting to implants. Trying herbs and massage. Sort of works, but oh so slowly. So Im really trying to fit into some of the bras in my drawers rather than saunter out to buy new.

Have you tried brava? I think it looks promising :O
Birth control pills worked for me (not that I wanted bigger breasts now, but I do remember wishing for growth in my teens - a wish that has been granted many times over, LOL), but they can have serious side effects. I had to have my gallbladder out because the pills caused gallbladder disease resulting in my liver shutting down. I turned yellow and everything. Quite scary. Statistically rare for something serious to happen, but if you're the one it happens to, it's 100% chance.

I bought this because I thought it was pretty. It has a deeper bandeau that helps disguise my rather wide rib cage. There is no up lift and too much material in the cups for my breasts.

Well, if you have a small underbust, it can be hard to find bands in your size anyway. It could also be due to the fact that there are two measuring systems used in Europe.
28 = 60 (EU) = 75 (FR)
30 = 65 (EU) = 80 (FR)
32 = 70 (EU) = 85 (FR)
and so on.
The system in most of Europe (excluding France, Belgium and a couple of other countries) has an automatic "+4" built in. You find your size by subtracting 10 cm. Or you simply learn the conversion: a band which is labeled 34 UK will be labeled as a 75 in the main European system, although 34 inches is not 75 centimeters. If you look at the labels on UK brands like Panache, you'll see that the conversion is never a direct inches to centimeters conversion.
If I want to calculate from my usual size (34 UK, 75 EU, and I measure 85 cm), I simply count increments from the size I know. To answer the question "What size is a 28?" I note that a 28 is 3 sizes smaller than a 34 (2" increments), so I subtract 3 sizes from a 75 to get 60 (5 cm increments).
