Readers may remember an earlier blog post where i mentioned just how insufferable it is to find a bra that fits properly. Well, on Monday, i must have inadvertently slipped through a wormhole into a parallel universe, because on a whim, i stopped in a department store i rarely frequent, and went to the ladies undergarment section. I picked two bras that looked like they might work for me.
The first one fit perfectly, the second, not as well.
Shocked, i went back out and picked up two more like the first, but in different colours, and two more that were by the same manufacturer but not an underwire style.
They all fit. Well.
I didn't need them all, but i did select three and put the rest back.
I'm quite certain that now i found some that fit so well, i'll either lose or gain tremendous amounts of weight, so that they'll be ill-fitting in no time.
Still, that foray through the wormhole was nice.
I may just write the manufacturer a thank you note.
I clicked on this post in the hope that you had hidden some photos in the text. What a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteYou dirty old sod
DeleteSorry, Tom. I rarely add photos to my entries. You'll just have to use your imagination.
DeleteJohn, you've got me wondering now if my stats will increase because i have the word "bra" in the subject.
DeleteWell Tom and John you made me smile.
ReplyDeleteMegan I feel your pain, as I have the same problem finding the right fit.

They made me smile, too, Gill.
DeleteTom publishes pictures of well fitting boots and expects well fitting bras in return!
ReplyDeleteTell Cro to open his eyes now.
I figured by putting "bra shopping" in the subject, Cro could simply scroll right past.
DeleteUses for me are limited but I can say that I can accurately measure a B cup in my right hand and an A cup in my denuded left hand. Can't see me getting a job in M&S though...
ReplyDeleteTom, i'm sure with your experience, you could guess at larger cups sizes based on the amount of overhang.
DeleteOne of my bank customers told me about when she worked in a department store, and her husband wanted to buy her a nightie. He didn't know her bra size, but cupped where the breasts would go in several sizes of the nightie until he found one that looked like it might do the job. The nightie was not returned, so he must have guessed right.
Thank God for Victoria's Secret. I know which size fits me and I can order it online.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Lucky you, Janie. I take my measurements, try on bras that say they're that size and am lucky if one fits.
