Bra sizes drive me nuts. There should be a standard. |
|
I recently bought 2 Exquisite Form Fully Bras on ebay. Style # 2450., 38B. Fit great. Tried to order two more but they are discontinued. Cannot find my size on line in this style number. Thinking they were about the same, I ordered a different style a great seller, # 532 38B.
Well, you know what happens when you do this. They are too big. Seems like a 38 is not just at 38 with this company. It is a great cotton broadcloth bra, no bones. Plenty of support. If you look on any store website that sells this manufacturer, you can see this style and read the particulars.
I paid (with shipping) $16.94 for both. Anyone here wear this bra and size that would like to buy them from me?
They will just sit in the boxes otherwise. One never opened, the other opened, tried on (too big around my body), folded up and back in box.
Great deal if you can use them. PM me if interested. I'd post this in the Marketplace but I think it would be lost there. On second thought, maybe I will. Thanks

8. Obviously, a woman can't discuss bras or breasts on DU |
|
without a guy making a snarky comment.

2. I agree with you. Should have a unifrom size for bras. |
|
Shoes are the same way, I find. I buy on line. Fortunately, shoes you can send back ( thank god for Zappos) if they do not fit.

4. As I have posted before |
|
I just had a single mastectomy. I received a tape measure from a bra company. They told me the best way to measure is pull the tap tight under the breast and measure. If it is even add 4 and if it is odd add five. Then it has the measure for the cup size. Well I am short but big boned. There isn't much meat on my upper frame. I measured and I did come up with with size. But the thing is I just don't fill out the cup right. It says B but the top of the bra is not snug it is shallow. I too wish there were different sizes except for the standard size fits all. I have so many of the same bra size and they all don't fit the same.

5. I've learned the hard way to always try on the bra before you buy it. |
|
I tried ordering off the internet one time. I ended up with one bra that made me look like I had a shelf instead of breasts, and another that was too small and cut into my breast making it look like I had 4 breasts.
Now I only buy what I can try. Shoes and pants are the same way for me. I've resorted to making some of my own clothes just to get the fit right.

Seriously, it was a waste of money. No return on undergarments. I understand that part. I am just annoyed at the same size on the label is 2 inches different on the body.
