36D --- OHHHH MYYYY

I am not sure how this works ..... can some one fill me in. Pre WLS I wore a 44B. Of course I have been needing new bras for sometime. I found one that fit perfectly last night. ......... 36D - what? huh? how? My boobies are way littler than before so how did my cup size go UP? All the lose skin? Anyone else see this happen? God Bless, Jen

Bra sizes are weird, I don't even know how to explain it but when I went to a smaller size the lady at the Victoria Secret told me to buy a 34F instead of a 36C. Way to go on the big change in the bra size, you have lost a whole bunch of inches around! Dana

Jen I was fitted for a bra at victoria secrets and they told me you could go between two sizes. For example, they measured me at 38D but told me I could buy a 40 C....Doesn't make sense to me but I just buy what fits. ~~Hugs and well wishes~~ Chris

Hi Jen The bigger your band size, the bigger the cup will be. I found a great way to find out what size you SHOULD be wearing: Measure right below your bust and add 3 inches - that gives you your band size Now measure across the largest part of your bust and subtract the number from your band number. Example: If your band number was 40 and your bust measures 42 you would be a 40B. For one inch more you are an A Cup For 2 you are a B Cup for 3 your are a C Cup and on and on and on.......... Hope that help

I did the measurement. Under = 35' so my band size = 38 W/ boobs = 42" so my cup size is D Pretty close to what I bought. I think if I bought a 38 it would "feel" too big. Thanks for the info! God Bless! Jen

I dont get it either....I was a 48 dd and now I am wearing a 38-40 c and I still have room in the cup. I wish there was a standard for these things on how they are made!! I might have to check out Victoria's Secret!! Steph

When I was fitted for my last bra, the lady told me most people buy too big around, but not big enough cup size. She gave me a way smaller around bra, and bigger cup and it fit great. I thought I would try to buy cheap bras and tried about 10 on at a store and none fit. I guess I'll have to go back to the better one. Karla

Where did you go and what did you get? Mine was ten bucks at WalMart. Can't beat that. God Bless, Jen

Karla, OH MY, since I quit working, I could never spend than much on a bra. I am such a bargain shopper these days, I save where ever possible. I just bought the new foster kids some clothes, mostly around the house and play clothes but there were some jammies and nice outfits and dresses. I only spent 35.00 and got 120 pieces of clothes. So you see that 70 on 1 bra for me could do so much for the kids. I did splurge last week and bought myself a new outfit (size 14 - woo hoo) and spent 20.00. I used to spend, spend, spend on myself. I remember one birthday, I went to foley red apple sale and spent $800.00 on myself in about an hour. I treated my girlfriend and I to the spa at Moody gardens for a full day of pammperng that was some big bucks too. Oh well, those days are gone.... until I win the lottery God Bless! Jen
