I had a professional bra fitting today.....

[LynzM]

To sum up a long story, my mom's been trying to find a dress to wear to my brother's wedding, and I told her that I thought she ought to get bra-fitted, since it doesn't seem she wears the right size of bra. So, I told her I'd go with her, and we went to Zoe and Co in Westerly, RI, about an hour from my house.

We were both totally wrong about bra sizes, holy cow.

I've been wearing a 34D for... I dunno, a couple years now. Seemed to do ok. The woman there told me that 85% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. It needs to be much tighter in the ribcage and larger cup than most women wear. For instance...

I'm a 30E or 30F, depending on the bra. OMG. :wow:

I spent entirely too much money on bras and bathing suits today, after learning this, and then learning that they had plenty of my never-before-imagined size. Altogether, my mom and I spent 2 hours there getting fitted, trying on bras, etc. My mom was off by two band sizes and a cup size, as well. And wow did it make a difference in how she looked! For me, as well, although not as noticeably. It feels nice, though, to have "girls" (heh!) that are where they belong, and look good and not squished being there! A little rough on the rib cage, but I'll get used to it. She said that was normal.

So, Lounge women, if you have a place nearby to do this, a bra place, not a Penney's or Macy's or whatever, I would definitely recommend it. Wow. What a difference.

So, that's my saga for today.... and of course my Lounge attention whoring, since I haven't done that much lately... :D
