    Default Bra sizing help

    When you have one boob slightly bigger than the other, do you wear a bra to fit biggie, or smally? I hate when my left boob overflows (you can see a slight boobie muffin top when I wear tight tops), but the right one feels only a little covered.

    I tried to demonstrate with pics, but it doesn't really show with my shitty photography skillz...but you can see how the left boob is all dominant, and pulls the bra over.

    Right now I wear 34D...should I try going up a size? Or is there a way to fit the straps better? I've had way too much time to think for the last two weeks, but all of a sudden this is bothering me.

    I've always been too shy to ask to get sized...even being a stripper, go figure. Plus I've never been to a bra shop around here that has sales people who seem in anyway willing to help...it's such an issue to just get them to unlock the door to the changerooms sometimes.

    Hmmm. I don't know much about bra sizings, but I've had really good experience with the Victoria's Secret girls if you pick out a nice looking one. The girl spent like an hour with me once trying to find the perfect fit.

    Have you ever thought about buying a bigger bra to fit lefty then insert some bra padding in the right side for evenness? Usually Ive had good fitting experiences at VS and Fredericks.

    My left boob is a bit fuller, I used to get bras to fit it and then the other one looked not so hot so now I get something to fit the smaller one and the larger one just fills the cup out a little bit more... I dont generally wear shirts that are tight enough to notice tho.

    P.S.
    your boobs look great, I dont think you should be worrying about this... And Pooka your avatar is loverly!!

    a good friend of mine has nearly a 2 cup size difference, and when she got fitted recently, she was advised to go with the smallest size that would fit the larger breast without giving her double boob on that side, and then to make the strap on the smaller breast shorter, and pad the bottom of the cup if she wanted them to look more even...

    The best idea I have ever heard of is getting them tailored -- buy the larger size and a seamstress can put a dart in to make the smaller boob fit snugly.

    I have the exact same problem. My left breast is almost one cup size larger than the right one. The left runs close to 34C and right is a 34B. I go with the 34C on the more padded bras and get the 34B in the bras that are not padded.

    Good advice and tips...I suck so hard at sewing, so I might just check out a tailor. We don't have Victoria Secret here, or Fredericks, unfortunately.
