Victoria's Secret bra sizing

[deanlicker78]

Are they crazy cakes with their bra sizing?  Is it a vanity sizing thing there?  I went to get a new bra tonight and was measured for the first time ever in my life.  She pronounced me a D cup.  WTF?  There is no way I'm a D cup, I have no boobs! 

My new bra fits like a glove though, I love it.  It makes my boobs look so much better.

Last time they measured me they said I'm a C.

My *correct* size is a DDD. I think half of a boob might fit in a C.

I had to stop shopping there when I was about 18 and the woman measured me and said "oh you are a DD but we dont carry DD so let me get you a D and we will get it to fit you". um no thank you.

"Yeah! Just get a bigger band size and it's the same thing!!"

No, it's not.

I wear a 28 band size, and every time I've gone into one they've tried to tell me that I should have no problem wearing one of their 32 or 34 band bras. "Adjusting the cup size will make it fit exactly the same!" Lying liars who lie.

WATCH THIS

The biggest bra/boob myth is that OMG D/DD/DDD etc = HUUUUUUGE BOOBS!  Not always true. The video explains it really well and will seriously help you understand better how to measure/size yourself and find a bra that truly fits.

Totally.  And they fall apart quickly too.

Ditto. Their bras are crap. I get all my bras at Nordstrom and they really truly fit wonderfully!

[BlackCanary]

I still like their bras, though I found out tonight that I'm now a 32DDD. I had found out I was a 32DD last year. Boobs-stop growing! 

Now I'm off to buy more bras online.

I'm not a huge fan of Nordstrom's selection, they're kinda boring. Same with Soma.

So I stick with Victoria's Secret.

Get fitted by them and then go elsewhere. I love www.figleaves.com for a great selection of sizes and styles.

I've been fitted by Nordstrom's last year (32DD). The only reason I was measured at VS tonight was because their 32DD were squishing the girls.

So I'm a 32DDD with them. I've never had a problem with VS, their bras have lasted a long time for me.

I love their body by victoria push-ups. I hate shopping at nordstrom. I use their website, but the actual store is annoying. Sometimes I just want to pick up a shoe without having a conversation with a sales person, and when I pick up the next one I don't want to talk to the next sales person. Stop hovering!

[wambam]

They are such liars.

Yeah, don't go to victoria's secret. Go to nordstrom!

If only @deanlicker and I had a Nordstrom within 8 hours of where we live. Sigh

Agree but we have a soma in omaha and I am going there after I get done breastfeeding

Shopping for bras is the worse ever. They all suck.

[TrickyBob]

I measured myself according to the chick in that video.

44 GG in UK and a 44 J in US


HOLY SHIT. Somehow this has to be wrong; right?! I've been wearing a 44/46 D all my life and there is enough room in the cups.

Innnnteresting @fucksticklegit I knew that cup sized changed according to band size, but I hadn't seen proper method demonstrated.

My sister just called me this week raving about how she did correct measurements and finally has a bra that fits.
