Mind: blown. Re: bras

[Deleted]

Ok, for those of you who have no been measured recently, please go do it now!

I just went to Nordstrom to get measured. I've been wearing a 34B my entire life. Nope.

I'm a 30D. Seriously.

She put the new bra on me and I was like, "HUH?! This is what a bra is supposed to feel like?! Oh. Em. Gee."

My mind is literally blown.

[jennlin]

literally blown? crazy.

Literally. I was standing in the dressing room looking like a fish, mouth all open and gaping.

This happened to me when I got a bra fitting a few weeks ago, lol. So much better, yes?

Congrats on the tig ol' bitties!

That's how I felt when I got fitted. It's nice having a bra that fits correctly.

[sarack]

i should have went to nordstrom.

The more you guys talk about it the more I'm convinced I need to do it. I just hate spending money on things no one else can see lol

Dana, that's totally how I felt when everyone was doing it earlier. In my mind, I was like aww that's nice, good fitting bras sound nice, but mine are ok now.

Nope. IMO my boobs look a hell of a lot better in shirts than they did before. I looked at myself in the mirror with my ill fitting bra on, then I put on the correctly sized bra, put my shirt back on and I was like, oh, that back boob thing isn't supposed to be there? My shirt looked a lot better over the correct sized bra.

It really made a world of difference.

Also? The Nordstrom sale is going on now and I found some that I liked for $30 and some other ones for $40.

My DH loves to say this!

This. I felt the same way the first time I got fitted. I was wearing a 34A and I got fitted at a 32C!.. I really should go again because my 32 C's feel too small.

[emyinpink]

I can't believe how awesome it felt after my bras were properly fitted. seriously amazeballs.

[carylee07]

Omg this so makes me want to do it. My girls need to be perky.

[Deleted]

This is how I felt too after I had my fitting. It was amazing the difference.

[dana86]

I can totally see/tell when someone is wearing a bra that doesn't fit them...even more so now that I have been fitted. Hahah. Every now and then I am like.....wow that girl needs to go have a bra fitting. lol.

[jennlin]

you guys all make me want to get new bras. but i'm nursing and have ever changing bewbies right now, and i don't think it's the right time to get measured!

[sarack]

yeah, don't think about getting new bras, not worth it.

It's really really important to have good fitting bras when you're nursing. Bad fit = supply issues, plugged ducts, and other assorted ick.

Go to nordstrom (they have nursing bras in the back, just not out on the floor AND they will convert any bra to a nursing bra for ten bucks) or to Birth and Beyond.

...via mobile.

i haven't had any supply issues or any other problems so far *knock on wood* and i know my nursing bras are both too big and too small (just don't have the *right* size).

i've heard negative things about the nordstrom nursing bra conversions--all they do is add an hook/eye attachment and that is it. there's nothing that keeps the strap from disappearing behind you once you unsnap.
