Where to get bra fitted

A problem I found with being left on my own, however, was that if a bra isn't fitting you correctly, you sort of have to guess the problem and diagnose it yourself. And since you have to deal with both cup size AND band size, it's hard to gauge whether the problem is the cup, the band, or just the bra in general.

This bra itself is a Lilyette "infinity back smoothing minimizer," which isn't so much a description as it is just four words hanging together for dear life. I mean, did this bra do a pretty good job of back-smoothing? But did it do an infinity job of both back smoothing and minimizing? No one will ever know, because that is a meaningless metric that makes no sense.

The fit was closer to being right than the other two bras I had already plunked down serious cash for — however,. At this point I decide to leave — the Macy's woman is busy with something else, and I think I've more or less exhausted the potential of 40D as a size. After a morning of fairly subdued lingerie stores, Victoria's Secret feels like the real-life equivalent of Wonka's chocolate factory. It's a beautiful bastion of decadent fantasy, and if you are not careful, you will get sucked into something candy-colored and deadly.

I flag down someone near the dressing rooms and ask if I can be fitted for a bra. The very nice and very busy fitter agrees — she fits me with tape measure, from the front, over my clothes and bra.

This is where I accidentally broke one of my rules about not giving any size suggestions , because I have the world's worst poker face. In my defense, I have now gotten four different bra sizes in as many stores, and I feel like I am no closer to figuring out my size than I was when I started.

To the fitter's credit, she figures out why I look so confused, and asks me if a 38C makes sense, and also what size I am currently wearing. Which, just to remind you, definitely looks like the bra a Dickens novel might wear if it physically had boobs. If my body suddenly looks significantly different from the other photos, it's because the lighting scheme of this dressing room was definitely "the searchlight we use to find escaped prisoners. Do I have cleavage?

Sure — it's because when I lean back, my boobs look like little waves of pudding trying to burst through a damn. This goes in the "no" pile. I am very confused, because from the side, I look OK, but from the front I look like I'm being squeezed in half. Maybe she is trying to be nice? I mention to the fitter that all these bras just feel too tight — she tells me that they will "stretch out.

If it looks like I have tried on the same bra about three times in a row, that is because I more or less have. Despite being decorated differently, every bra feels the same.

It's like bra Groundhog Day in here. I am beginning to think that I am not going to figure out what my bra size is today, which I would have taken as an impossibility this morning. Like I am playing a series of really funny practical jokes on myself. In a departure from everyone else, the fitter measures me over my clothes and bra, but does so from the back, as opposed to the front. She informs me of my size The fitter thinks it could be either size, and that I will need to try them out to know for sure, which: sure.

I submit myself to trial by fire. I can tell you: The difference between a bra that mostly fits, and a bra that REALLY fits is astronomical, because this bra feels like an extension of myself.
