Stuff

[shipperx]

I'm a terrible Christmas shopper because I keep buying stuff for ME! While I've done 95% of my Christmas shopping, I've also managed to buy myself two sweaters, a pair of earrings, and 2 bras. And while speaking of bras, I think the lengerie industry is perpetrating some hoax on American women. I am NOT big busted. My endowments are natural and not particularly over-endowed. Average and even not on the large side of average, and yet when trying on bras in one company's bras I was needing a 38 D! A D?!?!?! Since effing when? Huh? Why is it that that bra I had on that I've had a couple of years is a 'B' and yet to have one fit made by this company I needed a D? Methinks they're playing with bra sizes to make women think they've got bigger boobs than they do. (And in most companies I wore a C cup... often on the smallish side of C.) I'm concluding that cup sizes no longer mean anything.

I'd have to agree with that. Just go for the one that fits you, nevermind the cup size. LOL.

It just seems so strange that the size was SO small that someone who is usually a B+ to C- ended up a full D. They are definitely cutting those small.

Now see, I have a different bone to pick with the bra industry. God gave me enormous boobs. This is not a goodness,I assure you. My problem is that apparently? They think that DD or F cups only come on women who are really huge around. And I've lost enough weight now that I'm really, erm... not. I need about a 38 DD or F, so sayeth the nice bra fitter at Dillard's. DD and F? Seem to come only in 44. So I end up buying 38 D and popping out the top, mangling myself into a quadraboob creature- 2 in the cups, 2 popping out above them. :(

There was a girl who had the same problem on "What Not To Wear" and they sent her to a specialty store. I did a quick online search and here are some bras in that size for you:
