Question for those who have been sized for a bra

Okay. I went at lunch today and got measured for the "right size" bra at Victoria Secrets. They sized me at a C, but gave me bras to try in from size B to size D. Guess what size seemed to fit the best? B. I haven't been a B since grade school! This stinks! Give me my breastfeeding boobs back NOW please! I'm still not convinced that I'm a B. With the B, one boob fits in it perfectly, the other - the wire is a bit on the boob, kwim? With the C, one has too much room and the other one fits perfectly - well both sides there's a bit too much loose room at the very top, hard to explain. I'm really sad about this size thing gals.

Anyways, how did you find the measuring to go and what size you ended up going with? I guess what I'm saying is did any of you end up going with a smaller size than you thought you were?

I was sized for a bra - they tried to tell me I was a DDD!! I tried on a DDD bra and I could practically fit both boobs in one cup! I wear a 36D and It feels comfortable - I say go with what feels right!

I still have to try on bras to find the right fit with each style. Especially at VS. Make sure that none of the wire is on the breast tissue - that's bad news, but you know that

When I was sized, they were right on I think. I'm a 34B. It sometimes depends on the bra though. Some B's are way too big for me. But it's always a good fit everywhere else. I've tried As and some are okay, but they are always a bit too snug and pull things in funny for me.

Have you tried Macy's Karen? I'm just wondering if the sales girls at VS aren't measuring correctly, only becauase they said I was a 36B which is way too big for me. Macy's did a better job for me. Plus they sell those in between size bras there (1/2 sizes). Maybe that's what you need.

My boobs deflated to just about nothing after weaning Wil, so I know how easily the girls can go down in size. I just think if the wire is sitting on one boob, then something isn't right. What about the wireless kind? That's what I'm wearing right now...oh nope, I'm wearing my nursing bra today.

well I always knew that as far as nursing goes, but i thought maybe it'd be fine otherwise.

Oh and I tried on like 10 bras while I was there.

I should try Macys. I went to VS because I was given a gift certificate for there so I wanted to use it. Sounds like since the wire is on one boob I should go up a size, although the crappy thing is then the next size one boob is almost falling out.

I have to have underwire - I don't know why but i have to have it.

it is too varied by company. i personally think it's all bs. i was measured as a D but when i try on D's at Zellers or La Scenza, they are too big. my guide is.. try it on, if it's comfy.. buy it LOL

VS measured me larger than I thought I was and they were right. But after BF I'm down a cup size and it's pretty much true in any bra I try on the only difference is some are comfier than others.

Sounds like you are like me.....my left is a A and my right is a B. As for advice, i wear alot of sports bras, or buy a bra with pads that fits the smaller boob and take the pad out on the bigger boob. Sounds weird, but it works for me when i wear a lower cut shirt, I don't look quite as off

When I was sized I was annoyed but not for the same reason...I had been squishing them into a 34 D but ended up needing a 34 DD.
