Well, it's only taken me 40 years but I think I've finally got around to getting a bra that fits properly. And boy WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I have to say girls that I've always had trouble finding comfy ones in normal shops like M&S etc. 20 years ago when I started needing them anything above a D cup was just unheard of, so even though I needed something with a bigger cup size, that's what I got - (coz that's all there was) a D cup. Of course when I started putting on weight, finding ones to fit me at all was a real problem, and even when the likes of Tesco and Asda started to sell up to DD, and even E cups, sadly I was beyond that, in my morbid obesity of hugeness. I couldn't face up to measuring myself (I was in MASSIVE denial) and I couldn't possibly have undergone the humiliation of the shop assistant measuring me, huge as I was, so I spent most of my 20's and all of my 30's in the biggest thing I could find in a normal shop a 40D, going up to a 42 when Tesco started to stock them about 4 years ago. Today, I did a really brave thing (for me anyway) and went in to a PROPER BRA shop. I'd measured myself beforehand across the chest at my widest and narrowest and worked out what my proper size should ACTUALLY be, and blow me down, if it wasn't EXACTLY the best fitting of all of them. I've now gone from wearing a 42D to my actual correct size of 36F, yes that's 3 back sizes SMALLER and 3 CUP sizes BIGGER - AT THE SAME TIME. The difference in my profile is frankly amazing. It's like I've had breast up-lift surgery. They've actually gone UP by about 3 inches - even partner (the MOST blind person of all when it comes to noticing things could see it). I was SO IMPRESSED by this new bra that I bought TWO of them and REFUSED to put my old one back on when I came out of the changing room (it's gone straight in the bin along with all my other wrong sized ones) I wore it home and don't even want to take it off now it's so comfy. The moral of this story girls - get yourself measured properly for a correct fitting bra - or do it yourself: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A4455272 and give your confidence a 100% boost and save yourself £10,000 on a boob job.
