    Default Bra Shopping

    Okay, since my BA, things have been awsome! The only thing that is starting to bug me is that I cannot seem to find a nice lacey bra in my size(34DD). I had some idiot sales girl tell me to wear the "sister size" 36D. I told her that the 36 is too big around for me, and she did the stupid ditzy giggle and was all "Huh?...it should even out." WTF?? I swear I was dealing with a retard. But anyway back to my gripe....anyone else have a problem bra shopping after their BA? I love my size and don't regret a thing, but one would think that the bra industry would get a clue and realize if your tiny around, you can still have/get big boobs!GRRRRR!

    Lol, yeah, i've had them tell me about the sister size before... just to show the sales girl, i tried it on, and showed her how horribly it fit. it hung loosely around my ribcage and the cups did not contain my boobies. Sigh. I don't know where they came up with that idea.

    I think they make VS secret embrace in DD. It's an awesome bra, if you don't already have one.

    VS just made a Secret Embrace for all their bras now, they are really cute and it's the most comfortable bra ever! Can't wait to buy the Very Sexy Secret Embrace!

    The VS salesgirl said they don't carry my size after measuring me. However, Fredericks does carry up to way bigger sizes even in the cute styles. But for the most part i hide my new boobies in a sport bra when i'm not at work.

    I have the opposite of your problem when I go bra shopping. I'm a 32C, but half the time VS doesn't have 32C's. They always put me in a 34B, and no matter how bad I want it to fit, it never does. You can special order certain sizes that they don't carry in stores, it's what I've done on more than one occasion.

    Grrr. I hate this as well. Most of the time, what I do is buy a bra I love that has cups that fit, and get my seamstress to take in the back, so the band fits as well.

    I'm a 32 DD, and a 24D doesn't fit! If only the salesgirls would get it! lol.

    As you're in Canada try La Senza they have 34DD's .
    Make sure to ask for help and they can bring out a drawer with different styles and colours all in the right size instead of wading through all the racks

    ^^That's a good idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner..duh! I've got seamstress abilities, but sometimes I am too lazy or rushed to even think of altering it! I am going to try Fredricks though. The closest one to me is about an 1 1/2 hours away. I got a girlfriend who lives near there so I may stop in for a visit. And it was in VS where that ditz was suggesting the "sister size". That makes me laugh!

    Yeah, been there and got a couple of bra's, but the new line currently doesn't have DD's. They may get them in but I'll have to wait. All I want is a nice lace black bra for work! But usually La Senza is my main go-to place.

    Yep. it's vs that always does that for me as well but i end up buying them, espically if it's on sale. It's only 10-15 to alter, and if you can do it yourself, even better
