I don't wear a B cup

Warning: Guys, as fascinating as this title might sound, this is more a post for the ladies.

Not that there's anything wrong with wearing a B cup (it's just a part of a measurement), I just am kind of sick of having it come under question. I used to work at Agent Provocateur. I also designed lingerie for a while. I KNOW how bras fit. The letter in a bra size itself is NOT a specific measurement. It's not A=xs, B=s, C=m and D=l. There's a reason there's a combination of the numbers and letters and it has to do with the ratio of your rib cage vs the measurement of your actual breasts. You can be a perfectly average sized women and even have quite a slight figure and still wear a 32 C. Not to mention that shape goes into it as well...if your breasts are wider, you're NOT going to be comfortable wearing a 32 A, and if you went up a band size, it will cause the band to ride up, which is also not comfortable.

Most women wear the wrong bra size...and I think some of this misinformation really doesn't help.

Sorry if that was all graphic, I'm just big on bra fitting because a) I think we'd all be more comfy if we wore the right bra size, and b) clothes look better if your band isn't riding up (which actually causes "back fat" more than it being too tight!) I'd say more women wear the wrong band size than anything. You wouldn't believe how often a super slim girl would come into AP looking for a 34 or even 36 band, and then when given a 32 C instead of a 36 A, be astounded at how much better it fit (the actual cups on those respective sizes are the same size...it's the band that differs!)

Remember ladies, a bra size is just a number (and letter)...it doesn't matter if you're an 36 A or a 34 D....just get fitted and get the right size!
