I don't have a fabric measuring tape. Can I use string and then measure it against a regular measuring tape?
You could. Or you could get a fabric measuring tape at any Target/Walmart as well as probably most grocery or drug stores. I use mine for surprisingly a lot of measuring stuff.

Inspired by the original bra post, I went and got properly measured and bought new bras. It made all the difference in the world! I feel sexy again, which is a small miracle in itself.

My boobs feel sorry for your boobs if they're not in a proper fitting bra. And if that chick at VS says that "A 32 D is like, the exact same thing as a 34 C" give her a WTF face and move on, because you will have read this and you'll know better.

I've been wearing 36D for years, thanks to VS. I just measured myself and measured as a 32 DD/E. Should I go with the DD or the E? There was a 5" difference. @fucksticklegit
Maybe wearing a properly fitting bra won't make me feel like I can't breathe by the end of the day.

Live large and try both. They are *supposed* to be roughly the same size, its just the the US sizing is really stupidly fucky and it'll vary from brand to brand.
I was hoping I could just order online and not have to venture to Nordstrom, it's like, 1-1/2 hrs away.
I don't have any stores around here, I bought a bunch of cheap ones from bare essentials. They were super affordable (under 20!!) and they are supposed to have a hassle-free return process. I didn't need to, though.

I got the same measurement doing it standing up and bending over. Are my boobs jacked up? Maybe I am a bad measurer.
Also, why aren't you guys ordering from Brastop like the video lady recommends? (I am a good student and read it all!) I ordered two and they were like half the price of US retailers even including shipping.
I am currently wearing a 36C and its squashing my boobs and making them look like crap. I hope the 34Es work!
If you got the same exact measurement standing up and bending forward with back parallel to the ground... your tits must defy gravity.

You can order online... return policies are there for a reason. Just don't like... cut off the tags and have animals crap on them before trying to return them.
STORY TIME! When I worked at Lane Bryant this one lady tried to return 3 bras for money, and they REEEEEEEKED of cat piss and cigarette smoke. They were so old they weren't even in the system anymore, so like 2 years. She had them tied up in a plastic grocery bag and as soon as I opened it and smelled the funk I said no way in hell.

I have been in a 36b or c forever and mine was also 32 dd/e. crazy!

When I worked at Kaufmann's (now Macy's) in 2004 we had a man try to return underwear purchased in 1997. They had shit stains on them. He demanded to talk to a manager, my manager told him no way, then wanted HER manager. Her manager took the return!

Boob twins! Should this have it's own thread like the birthday twins?

Because I didn't want to wait for them to come from the UK - and I have to order a bunch of styles/brands/sizes to figure out WTF my actual size is.
