OMG, right? A post!
I need to vent about bra fitting.
I read a bra review just now, and left a comment. She used the site's "fit guide" and it's sooooo wrong. *sigh*
It has you figuring the band size by measuring under your arms and ABOVE your boobs! WTF? How in all the world is that supposed to tell you how big around you are under your boobs, on your rib cage?
It told me that I'm a 38B. Yes, B.
Hello? I wear a 32G! (32I if they made that size in US bras).
You know how people are always spouting how 80%/85% of women are wearing the wrong size? We also often hear the "average" bra size (which differs from report to report). Tell me - how can we know the average size if so many of us are wearing the wrong size to begin with? Wouldn't your data be automatically flawed?
I just can't stand these sites that get all the fit tips right (i.e. center gore against chest, band snug with no movement, etc.) but give horribly wrong sizing guides. Even worse when the bras don't even fit the model on the sizing page. She's probably got too small a cup.
Anywho, I'm actually taking a friend bra shopping Tuesday. Maybe I'll give a post on how that goes.
P.S. The fit page above - I say absolutely nothing about the quality or fit of their bras, as I have no idea. Never heard of the brand before today. I just know their fitting guide is off.

Wait, I thought it was Tuesday?
