My first bra fitting
Oh my gosh. I went for my first real bra fitting today at Dillards with a fitter named Herta, an older lady who really knows breasts and bras. I was looking for a good sports bra and told her I wore a 36D. I used to be a 38DD and probably should have been wearing a larger size because they were pretty tight, and I could only wear a few styles in that size. Anyway, Herta came and looked at me after I had it on and said no, no, no. The band was too big and the cup way too small. Egads. I did not lose 50 pounds so I could wear a larger cup size. She brought be a 34DDD and it fit pretty well. She told me I've been "fooling the world" with my ill-fitting bras and that I had a nice figure and should wear a bra that pulls my breasts up more so people can see my waist. It was so embarrasing, and felt good at the same time. I didn't tell her about my weight loss because I'm tired of talking about it and just want some people to think I've always been this size. So here I have been thinking I'm a 36D and am probably more like a 34E. I notice that the better fitting bra really does make a difference in how I look, but I just can't get over the size and how big the back strap is. Four hooks! It's a job just to put the thing on. I bought one to see how it worked out and came home and tried it on under my work out clothes. I see the cups pucker at the tips and make my chest look really stupid so I may not keep it, but I can definitely see now that I need a different size, maybe just a different style. My breasts barely move AT ALL when I jump up and down and they are so high and sticking out!!! Gosh, I better stop this or I am going to get sensored for porn. It's just such a shock. I think I'll go back and see Herta and see if I can find another style that isn't so gosh darn big in the back, and maybe have her help me with my everyday bras. One of the reasons why I lost weight in the first place was because I was seriously considering breast reduction surgery. I wanted to try to get smaller just by dieting. Now that I'm at or close to my goal weight I do feel a lot smaller, I'm just surprised I'm not smaller than a DD or E cup.
