I think that's supposed to be a sign that too much weight is being carried by the straps.

I've heard enough reports of "I went in for a fitting and they gave me a XYZ even though I've always worn a ABC and it's so much more comfortable!" to believe that most women are wearing the wrong size bra. I mean, you're in the store asking for a fitting, obviously you need a new bra. What do the sales staff have to gain by giving you a different size if it doesn't fit better?

I figure my boobs are not big enough to need fancy bras to keep them in any particular place or anything...though is there a solution for "the straps are always too long until I put them on the shortest possible adjustment"? Though I'm not sure what the answer could be--a smaller bandsize wouldn't fit, and they dont' make a smaller cup. (And a bigger one is clearly too big). Hrm.

Well there's the selection bias-- you're going in to get fitted because your bras don't fit. That's not random. I find it dubious that an additional 70 to 85 percent are just waiting to be told that they need to be fitted. (FWIW I did get fitted and, surprise surprise, it was the same size as the bras I wear. Which fit.)

I can buy that 80% of women who get fittings are wearing the wrong size. And even maybe half of everyone else.

Hmm, I think it might be the style more than the fit, because other bras from LB in that size fit awesomely. But there are just two that have the strap issue.

Do we need some government-sponsored education campaign for this? A cute cartoon animal to alert us to this issue?

Boobie the Great Tit!

But would be hilarious if men had these sorts of issues finding underwear that fit.

Seriously.

I got home last night after 2.5 weeks visiting my family in Minnesota. It's nice to be home and the weather is actually beautiful today. I"m feeling super accomplished as I have 2 of 3 suitcases emptied and, now that I think about it, I can't do the other one right now because Frisco is asleep in the room where the clothes go.

I normally leave the suitcases for several days and then spend those days irritated that I can't find what I need.

Woot! I'm such a procrastinator about unpacking from vacation (and putting clothes away after doing the laundry).

and, welcome home!
