I don't know what has happened to bra sizing in the past 20 years. It used to be that (when I was a 34B), any brand I tried on they all fit the same. Didn't matter the style, didn't matter who made it. Now, I have to try on bra after bra and even the same manufacturer isn't consistent with the sizing. It's ridonkulous.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If a 34B in every style fit you, that means there were other 34Bs who couldn't find anything to fit properly.

Ha! I didn't mean to bogart all the well-fitting bras! That was back in my Victoria's Secrets days, when everything fit the way it was supposed to.

Yesterday, I was noticing in the bathroom mirror that my boobs were definitely lower than they should be, so I moved up my straps another inch this morning. Hopefully, this will keep them high and dry for a bit!

But when I have a 42C that's too big and I'm fighting with the straps, why should I try on bras and the ones that fit are a 42DD and a40DD?
It's pretty common when you lose weight to lose a band size and gain a cup size.

Also, this. The lingerie shop where I got my longline bra to wear with my wedding dress does alterations. I'm only buying bras there if I can help it! They carry basically the same ones at the same price Nordstroms does anyway, just not as many.

Yep. When I lost weight, that was the exact change I went through with bras.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Why am I surprised that Taco Bell meat does not meet the USDA requirements to be labelled "beef"? I wonder if they'll change the mixture or start calling it "beff".

"beef flavored food product". Much like their "cheese flavored food products."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They should say, "Food flavored food-like product."
