Amazing. I watched this video a week or so ago and finally went to the mall today. Sure enough, perfect new fit! I went from wearing a 34C to a 32DDD. Swooping the armpit/ side boob made all the difference in the world.

Oh and what about European conversion? I'm seeing a couple different charts. On one chart I am seeing that it is the same as US and on another I'm seeing it as a cup size higher than US.

DH just asked what size my boobs are (hello pregnancy growth). I went from an alleged 32B to a 30F. F, people! At one point, VS measured me as an A cup.

I measured at a 38F UK so I ordered a 38F and 38FF just to see how they fit. I get impatient so I paid for next day shipping from bare necessities ($15). I will report on Wednesday afternoon how they fit.

Big ups to @fucksticklegit. I followed the instructions then went to Nordstrom to get measured to double check that I didn't eff up, which I didnt, our measurements matched. I am now the proud owner of four bras that fit properly and look amazing both with and without shirts.
I have always had major underarm fat (my under bust measures 26.5 so I'm somewhat thin. No matter what exercises or weight I am the stupid armpit bulge is aways there). Does this mean it should be scooped into the bra cups & is part of the breast tissue??? My mind has been blown.

Generally, yep. I don't want to say YES ALWAYS FOR EVERYONE, because who knows.
Speaking for myself however, I have a big ol' blobby side boob/armpit flab... thing, but when I swoop n' scoop it pours into the cup properly and whatever is just flab is kept nicely in check by the band. Because it can now do its job.
OMG I am so excited to see if my armpit fat disappears with my new bra. It's coming from the UK, so it should be here in, oh, about a month. Thanks Canada Post.

I've known I've worn the wrong size for years but I was afraid to order online and had no idea where to look in town. But now I realize I've been way off. (I've been wearing a 32 & assumed I was a 30. Still wrong.) The only thing is, I can't find a band below a 28. So what do I do now? Dock a cup size or two to account for the band being bigger than it should be?

If you can find a legitimate god's honest lingerie shop in your area, I would recommend seeing if you can get something custom made if its much less than a 28. What's your band measurement?

It's 25. I'm planning to find a proper store tomorrow to at least try a few on.

I disagree on one point. Sometimes I have problems with the underwire stabbing me in the armpit. Nordstrom lady told me to try a size down in cup size, not a size up. She also said that maybe that particular bra just doesn't work for me (which I think is the case).
The thing bothering me is that sooooo many ladies are scared of getting fit in person and insist on ordering online. This just does not compute with me. Last time I was fit at Nordstrom, I tried on about 10-15 bras, found 4 I liked, and chose 2 to buy. Buying online doesn't work unless you KNOW that style, brand, and size will fit you. Yes it's sort of embarrassing being fit, but those fitting ladies look at boobs all day long. They are experts and are there to help you out.

1.) If the underwire is stabbing you in the armpit, its not encasing the breast tissue properly. Poking = too small
2.) Maybe its not about embarrassment about getting fitted in person? A lot of ladies already mentioned previously that they dont have a Nordstrom or Soma or anything near them. Some of us don't have a lot of spare time between family/work/school/whatever to spend trekking to the store, searching for bras, trying them on, etc. If you know what size youre supposed to be and the online store has an easy return/exchange policy then maybe thats more convenient.
