The only brick-and-mortar store I've ever seen my size in is Nordstrom

I've found 34F at Intimacy here in LA, and my sister tells me that Soma does it too, but I haven't been to them yet.

I am a walking chaos field. I was putting away dishes and dropped a plate right onto the dog's (ceramic) bowl and shattered both. I was wearing flip-flops, and cut my foot in addition to destroying the dog's bowl (and a plate).

Seriously, I am so over my life. If someone put a curse on me, I would appreciate it being lifted. Thanks.

Good luck with your keyboard, Tep.

Thanks. It's the whole laptop, unfortunately. I mean, because the keyboard of the laptop is directly above the logic board and everything else that makes the computer run.

'Will You Be Raptured' Flowchart

Oh yes, I meant laptop. I was multitasking. I hope it survives! And you need to get into a protective bubble, stat.

Jilli, I suggest you hie thee tO the nordstrom rack at southcenter--I was shocked at the number of HH or G cups they had--they usually only have "regular" sizes

I think I was a 32D at age 12 or so. Fairly traumatic -- I went from being a tiny 10-year-old who looked about 7 to wearing a C cup in the space of a few months or so.

I was a radically late developer, but I don't remember a transitional stage. Like I was short, and then I was kinda tall, I was flatchested, and then I had D cups. Mother's side of the family is pretty generously gifted in that regard. I certainly don't peg the meter.

I got the 38DD's from Dad's side of the family; I am built just like my grandmother and great-aunt.

I got 'em when I was ten. All of a sudden, I had C cups in 5th grade. Bad thing is, I'd tried to stuff my training bra once and got caught out, and then BOOM, I got these huge natural breasts and kids teased me horribly that I was stuffing my bra. By the time I was a freshman, I was in a 36D. Woo. Thing was, for about 3 years, my mom and I wore the same bra size, so I just wore my mom's old bras -- we weren't rich, and they were plain white ordinary bras.

But I came home in high school one day in tears because I coudln't run in gym class without my breasts FLYING out of the cups (front hook bra) and this was when only Athletic Girls wore a sports bra, and they were primitive. Initially, my mom was a little disbelieving that her 13 yo had bigger boobs than she, but we got out the tape measure, and lo and behold.

She kinda sighed and was all "Well, you have your grandma's bosom" which HORRIFIED me, because Grandma's large uniboob was not exactly what I had in mind.

I wear a 38D/DD, depending on the bra, and I'm happy with that size. I would not be happy with anything larger. I feel so bad for girls with tiny frames and large cup sizes; what a pain.

My extended family has a continual "No, yours are bigger!" competition going on. Theirs seriously are bigger. I just have a freakishly small rib cage. But we have been caught out in public arguing about it and grabbing each other for volume comparison. Apparently it's really important not to have the biggest breasts.

However, anything below a C cup? Those aren't mammaries. It's a fine line.

I would not be happy with anything larger. I feel so bad for girls with tiny frames and large cup sizes; what a pain.

raises hand

I'm a 32 or 34 band, and cup size somewhere F or bigger (there seems to be no standard for how cup sizes bigger than DDD get labeled -- some brands go E F G, some are E EE F FF G GG, and a bunch of other systems.) There have been a few times (usually when I'm at the lower end of my usual weight range) when I've had to buy a bra with a 32 band at one of the specialty bra shops and then had the seamstress there take it in an inch or so.
