I couldn't figure out why my bras were so uncomfortable.  The wires were poking into my armpits, the band always creeping up, nothing felt "right".

Went in to local store, and asked to be measured for a bra, wearing my best fitting one.  Last bought bras about 9 months ago.  Have gone from a 48 band to a 42 ! No change in cup size, but that's ok !!! 

I put on a bra that fit, and wow !  Felt great.  Only bought 2 -- one to wear and one to wash... hopefully that will hold me until the next size down....and I'm not going to wait that long next time !!!

Yeah I bought new bras at one point and was measure at like 42 so I bought a 40 and was uncomfortable for about a month BUT it lasted me a long time since it was the size I grew into.

I went down on band size and up on cup size... isn't it great to get smaller and smaller !

Very exciting!!! Little known fact - as the band size goes down, so does the cup. Meaning - the cup of a 42D is NOT the same as the cup in a 48D. Thought that would make you happy!! It does me!!!

NOTHING is better than a well fitted bra!
FYI....The ladies at my specialty bra shop told me to get refitted every 25#.

Every 25 ? Great suggestion. I waited too long. Every 25 is a good way to reward yourself with new undies !!!
