My 'story'

Ladies! Here is my little 'story' I think it is quite similar to other young women =)?

My dress size is 8/10 and I'm just about 5ft.4

Before I really knew about bra fitting, I would listen to the shop floor lady and force myself into a 34C... that's about 8 inches bigger around than it should be! Don't do this to yourself ;)!

After a while I started experimenting with 30D and DD, real bra fitting in its infancy. I started to question, why do I need a "Professional Fitter" to tell me the size? "Junior Section" 28D was the smallest back and biggest cup I could reasonably find... I was greatly discouraged, I must be crazy, ill informed, picky about lingerie?

After a while I landed myself with 28E and F, I became more curious about the idea - WHY was I told to wear a 34C if the 28 fitted so much better? WHY were there no alternatives?

And now I'm at this point =) so much happier and in a 26G thanks to the likes of Ewa-michalak, or altering down a 28FF. My shoulders and neck are thanking me, I don't get tension headaches, no double busting and I don't get "back fat"!

I wish I didn't have to look so very far and wide for one very simple thing: A properly fitted bra!
