Accurate bra measurement? and Wireless bras?

excitedsarah · 07-15-2009, 01:40 AM

Does anyone have any idea where I can go to get a proper/accurate bra size measurment? I'm not sure that I trust Vicki Secrets because everyone says they're sizes are off. And I just bought 34 D bra's and they are digging into my boobs and sides?!! What the heck size am I !!! ??? Sorry, slight break down lol Any suggestions? Also any suggestions for a good wireless bra, they're sooooooooooo comfortable? Thanks ladies : )

I'm not sure about a good way to get a measurement. The way I did it was going to a store that carried numerous bra brands, and just trying them all on and seeing what size I was most often.

As for good wireless bras, I love the calvin klein one. I tried the VS ipex, and there was way too much room on the sides, even in a size that should have been too small! hth

I recommend Nordstrom's if you have one, they are great! Usually the ladies working in there have been doing it for many years....some of them like 15 years! They will take a look at how the bra is fitting, put it on you, etc. I got the wireless Calvin Klein from there and I really like it! I know some other places carry it too. I also got cami's with a shelf bra in them....some from Nordstrom's and one from Old Navy. I also have some Champion sports bras, the kind that are moisture wicking with the thin straps, those are from Target. Hope that helps give you some ideas.

also dillards for fitting. I went to dillards & nordstroms & they both gave me the same size. Caberet has a really nice wire-free bra, very comfy & support. I'm a hairstylist & wore it all day at work & when I got home I didnt have that I gotta take this thing off.

I have to agree with everyone else here. I have been commanded not the wear an underwire for at least 6 months, so i bought the "perfectly fit" bra by ck. We have a calvin klein outlet in the nearby outlet mall, so I go a black on and a beige on for 60 bucks. They are awesome too because they can be worn like a regular bra, or hooked together to make a racerback (which is nice when you only have 2 bras) they are also SUPER comfey. As for fit- I just go by what feels the best on me, take a bunch into the room and see which one gives you the best support, comfort and cup fit... your body will tell you beeter than a 2 week sales associate at v secret
