[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Even though victoria's secret doesn't carry my size would they measure me for a bra?
Yes. But, as others have said, measurements don't always tell you the full story when it comes to bra size. I suggest going somewhere that will carry your size so that you can try things on and find the right one(s). Most department stores will have women who can do bra fittings. I was trained to do them when I worked at Lane Bryant, so you could try there, too.
I really need to get fitted for bras again (and get new bras), the last time I tried to get fitted it didn't go well. Even though victoria's secret doesn't carry my size would they measure me for a bra?
Play dumb about them not carrying your size and just ask for a fitting. They won't refuse you.
Town Shop altered my bras.
To make them perfect.
For free.
How did I not go there years and years ago? I'm the most annoying of zealots -- a convert.

When I was "fitted" at VS they whipped a tape measure around my chest over my clothes and threw a size at me. I wouldn't bother.
Trudy, I so need to go there.

Yeah, although I wouldn't necessarily trust the answer.
Nah, its the bras.
You're sweet, but no, in this case, I think it's me. My busom is rather small, but I guess it's... I dunno... round? Significantly more women fit into the traditional cup measurements, hence it makes sense for bra makers to tailor their stock to most women's chests, not mine. I just need to try on and shop around.

This is also true. They don't train employees well, or really at all, based on my experience with them. One of the girls who was supposed to be a seller told a customer that we didn't carry garter belts. I questioned her about it later, and it turned out she didn't even know what a garter belt was.
So, I had my allergist appointment today. This is what I'm all pissy about. They told me I had to be off my antihistamines for five days. What they didn't tell me is that my psychiatric medications also block the testing. So, now I have to do it again. Except, I have to go off my psych meds for 5 days. I think my shrink won't allow it. So, I'm a wee bit frustrated.
vw that sucks!
Trudy, I so need to go there.
I think brenda and I need to road trip to NYC, visit Trudy, and visit Town Shop.
