I thought I was a 32B until I was 13... when I was measured as a 34DD.

i've never been able to figure it out. whenever i try, i get something like 34a which i'm definitely not.

i had a very good site for measuring but ya know how that goes, when you need something you can never find it.

Its pretty much the same as anywhere else.

Im a 34 B but I haves bras that are A, B, and C! I REALLY need to get measure again. I know my size has changed since 15! Im 20 now for crying out loud!

Because of this thread i've stopped wearing bras.

the problem is that the measuring method *is what gives the wrong bra size* for most females.

using myself as an example, by measuring method i would be wearing a 38D or 38E usually. this is incorrect on my real-life body (as opposed to numbers-on-paper body). my correct bra size is (depending on bra) 32GG/H for demi-cup bras and similar and 34H/HH for full-coverage bras and similar.

good job to those who have found their right one and good luck to those still searching!

Yeah, I just tried that site someone posted and I can assure you that the result I got was wrong, but at least it wasn't drastically wrong. It gave me a 36A, when in fact I own a couple of 36A bras (from my slightly fatter days) and those hang off me slightly in the cup area and need to be fastened on the tightest clip at the back to fit reasonably around my ribcage. I'm more like a 34A and even those bras need to be fastened on the tightest clip at the back to fit properly, but the cups on them fit me sensibly at least.

It's pretty tough, this whole bra thing. Factor in natural fluctuations in weight and breast size, as well as the normal small differences in sizing from store to store, and you have yourself an almost impossible situation. I think people need to 1. get measured fairly regularly (like once every couple of years at least, or more often if they're going through significant changes in weight) and 2. don't take it as gospel and instead take that size, and the cup and # sizes above and below it, and try them all before buying the one that gives the best fit.

that's probably worse than wearing the wrong size.

I've been thinking this for a long time now, and it's definitely true. They are a small booby shop. Their Ds are really only Bs or something. I tried a couple on in there before and they were all tiny in the cup department.
