it was like an Oprah moment
Except I really don't watch Oprah anymore.
How can I with Ellen on opposite her?
While Oprah's all tell us about how he victimized you for years on end...
Ellen is dancing in the aisles.
I defy you to be miserable watching Ellen. Go ahead. Try.
Anyway - it was more like an Oprah moment because Ellen doesn't ever talk about bras.
But I distinctly remember an episode of Oprah about wearing the wrong sized bra and I knew I was guilty, and yesterday I went off to Nordstrom because they were having a 'fit event' with the Chantelle bra people and I wanted a fitting.
And, let me just say: I walked in and told the adorable, young, thin, Chantelle bra lady that I did not want any foam in my cups and that they had to be seamless.
And I held my breath and let her measure me.
And she was amazing.
Joke, you might want to click away now.............
First of all, I am not a 34C - oh no! I am a 32D! Which I think sounds skinnier, and yet fuller busted! (shut up, fuller busted is not a lyric or a video game)
And, while she did find me the most perfect bra in the world, which, somehow, also makes my breasts look younger, she also convinced me on the molded cup - which I vehemently swore (at Victoria's Secret) I would never wear.
She sold the molded cup on the basis of invisibility in a tee shirt, which: whatever -
but it also seems much more supportive.
And she taught me all the tricks to fitting properly.
And she gave me a free umbrella.
32!
How often do you find out that you are smaller anywhere?
Never.

And it's not even an old battle-axe looking bra.
But I wonder where I'm going to get those little belts, for around my neck?
Cause those look good too.

Pretty sure you can get the little belts at Wet Seal. Or maybe Charlotte Rousse. Or maybe your local BDSM shoppe.
32D.
It's a dream.
I am D too though!!!
So we share something. Weeeeee!
when I am done nursing, i am going to get fitted and i am NEVER buying a white bra again ever as long as i live. and i plan a bonfire with my nursing bras.
But I'd like you to know, reading all this, I am still thinking about that roasting pork with fennel.
It's perhaps confusing my coworkers why I'm drooling while reading all about bras, and their contents.
Time for lunch.
Good for you though. I bet you feel like a new woman.
I've been meaning to do just that for months.
Congrats on the size 32!
Mine's probably a 66 triple X.
Maybe I shouldn't go!
But I still watch Ellen.
but i need lime green, or blue or something besides skin tone...
And I don't think I'd take it well.
Bet you look hot in your new bra.
I went for that fitting, too.
Yes, Nordstroms.
They brought in THREE bras out of the 10gazillion selections.
Oh, the tugging, the leaning forward, the adjusting of the straps.
VOILA!
36D - not the 38C I had been wearing for years.
And where in the heck did the Back Fat go?
OH! It's in the cup! With the Front Fat!
And the band? Sits nearly at my waist? Huh?
I am not questioning such comfort and fit. Not this girl. Nope.
6!! i've never had 6 bras at once before! this is how much i love the molded cup bra!!
look at all the exclamation points!!
My own epiphany came about three years ago when I spent far too much money on my wedding gown and realised the effect would all be ruined without the correct underwear. I proceeded without delay to Rigby & Peller (lingerie-ists to the Queen - you get to do these things when you live in London). I pronounced myself a 34C and the teeny Italian assistant said "I doan theenk so". After viewing (note, not measuring) my gazongas for all of two seconds, she brought back a bunch of bras that were 32DD. As you can imagine, my eyeballs just about exited their sockets, but I'm a total convert. I can only imagine the number of boobs that assistant has viewed in her 50 or so years.
Yay for correctly sized underwear! And believe me, they've seen it all before. Some of the women in the waiting queue were enormous, and I personally saw bras there that I could have used to encase my entire head twice over.
Here in my town, even Victoria's Secret stores don't carry 32D. Neither does Nordstrom's. Or Macy's! Only Dillard's has them.
(I thought I was a 34C too - but I'm either at 32D or 32DD depending on "style")
