Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
a client took my shopping (woo hoo) and I got four bras from VS (plus some cute lingerie for work, and one pj set for home) which I desperately needed. I had them measure me, and instead of the 36B, they put me at a 34B or a 34A. An A? Are you kidding me? geez.
So I have the 34B ones and it feels like I'm wearing booby armor, like my boobs have super powers. Feels pretty good. I'm only on the first notch on the bra where it clips in back, but I guess that's good, right? As the bra stretches i just go one click more?
Anyways, just wanted to say that i'm very aware of my boobs and I'm having fun touching them and looking at them (even underneath two sweatshirts!) Ba-DOW! I've got boobies...even if they're smaller than I thought.
and p.s. FUCK! These bras cost $48 EACH!!!
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
Woohoo, congrats on your new goodies! I went craaazy at their semi-annual sale a few weeks back; that was the best retail therapy session I've had in a while : ).
And you're right about using the loosest hook setting to start with. I have a great book called The Lingerie Handbook written by the owner of La Petite Coquette (fancy NY shop which gets a lot of famous clients and supplied lingere for Sex In The City). The author is quite a lingerie authority and using the loosest setting first is what she suggets. Since that what she says, thats exactly what I do : ).
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
^ Yep, the loosest is best at first b/c the band will streach over time.
btw, I freaking love VS!!! Even better when someone else foots the bill ;)
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
I know, VS is SO expensive! Way more expensive than it should be for the quality... and yet I can't stop shopping there! ALL of my underwear is from there!
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
They measure all weird there. They tell me I should be a D, but when I tried on a D I could have fit a couple of tube socks in there with my boobies, lol. I feel all weird when they're like, "okay, according to my measuring tape, you're a D, so here's your D, try it on," and i try it on, and I'm like, "um, it doesn't fit, can you bring me a C please?" I actually had to convince one girl that the C fit me better, 'cause she kept wanting me to get the D.. grr.. lol.. ::)
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
Yes, they told me once I was an 34 A. But I'm a B. And their clothes fit weird too. I got some PINK shorts in yesterday and they are too roomy! I noticed too that if I wear a size S underwear they are too baggy in the butt, so I go for XS. Same with their tops. I wear an XS now when most of the tie I wear a S.
Not complaining at all...just observing.
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
Victoria's Secret deliberately undersizes bras. It'll squeeze your tits together more, but it's not comfortable for long-term wear, and it will wear out the bra sooner so that you have to buy more.
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
I fucking hate their sizes. I fit into a VS B,C,& D cup. Fuck is that.

I'm okay with this for work bras, but does it harm my boobs?
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
I think so, if you wear them like that every day. I've heard that wearing an improperly fitted bra puts inappropriate pressure on your upper ribcage and the insides of your breasts. Not sure what damage it causes exactly, but it's fucking uncomfortable and that's enough for me, LOL!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that BRA!!! I have 2 of the fuckers and I am smitten with them!
I thought I was smaller though! I thought I was a 34D, but I am really a 36D, oh well!
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
I just googled them to see what they looked like. I have bras that look a lil similar... very nice! :D
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
Why can't I find a good bra? I got a 34C and 32D and my boobs always wanna come out.
I think my rib cage is only a 30!
Re: Victoria's Secret Secret Embrace bra
this is the most comfortable bra I have ever worn, love it!
