    For the majority of the time that I was going through puberty (around 13) my mom was in and out of the hospital, so I forced my big brother to take (he was about 15) me bra shopping for the first time. He had no idea what he was doing so he watched all these videos. Now he’s at college and I made a joke about how he must like looking at boobs for me... then he told me he’s gay 🏳️‍🌈 Imao

    Aw this video made me super happy. I'm in a 33 DDD US sizing bras from VS at age 20 and I grew up with bigger boobs so this helps to see more representation especially when it previously felt like there was so little. I'm glad you talked about changes with your bra sizes because from one year to another especially within my first two years of college I fluctuated weight wise. I hope this encourages other to talk about more real life problems such as these. Thanks and keep up the great work!

      I was wearing a 32C and sometimes down to a 34B for a good 4 years of my life and I kept getting bikinis which literally would cover maybe a quarter of my boobs and it was so confusing. Then I got fitted for the first time and told me I was a 32E tried one on and it was the (mostly) perfect fit. Not the largest ever but the sudden size jump actually made my jaw drop in the fitting room.
      Also explained why bikinis never fit, though they still don't now, 1 jump and they are out

      @xDymond 5 років тому +3

      Absolutely agree, 2 friends of mine went to the same place with visually completely different size but both came out as a 34D.
      So we got 2 bras in this size from different brands and they both fitted both of them completely differently.
      All comes down to the brand and style. Also sometimes different places use different techniques for fitting, some use tape measures and some do look

    • @strawycape9693

      Definitely - when shopping anywhere that offers free bra fitting I would suggest getting bras checked before you buy them, it only takes a couple of minutes and saves you buying something only for it to sit in a drawer because it doesn't fit as well as your other bras.

      @AnnekeOosterink 5 років тому +2

      @@xDymond Yup. Implant and 'foot' size matters (as in, how high up your ribcage do your boobs sit, are they wide and flat or narrow and long? etc) it influences everything, like where will the wires/band/straps end up. My boobs sit relatively high up and are narrow so many bras will have wires that are too long and poke me in the arm. Not the armpit, the arm. the cups are too wide, and the wire too long. Not all brands/styles/models work with all kinds of boobs.

    I’ve actually been a bra fitter in a department store for 5 years now, and this is all great advice! I actually can easily find bras that rest exactly on my breastbone due to breast type. I have what’s sometimes called “east west” which means I have all kinds of space in the center for the bra to sit. You look like you have a fuller more centered bust in front (and that bra looks adorable and fits fabulously) so not being able to get the center gore of the bra to your breastbone is a very common issue. Almost all of the women I help are so confused about how sizing works and how bras are supposed to fit, so thanks for getting good info out there!

    I’ve got a five-hook longline bra; fastening it behind my back has become a rewarding hobby.
    In the U.S., I buy a lot of bras on Amazon. It’s kind of a wild west of sizing, price, and availability. Sometimes you get something that is excessively outside of fit range or otherwise not what you expected. So far vendors have been willing to work with me when something like that happens.
    Another place I use a lot is Bare Necessities. The website is really good, and the selection is pretty extensive. I think they ship only to U.S. and associated territories, though.

      I'm pretty sure Brastop ships to the US, and possibly Bravissimo too. Idk about the return policies though. Generally speaking, UK sizing is much more consistent than the rest. It's not perfectly consistent between brands (and bra shape & how stretchy the fabric is etc plays a role), but it's definitely more consistent than US and EU sizing.

    I always thought I was weird shaped because my bras never fit perfect. This has opened my eyes to know there is no perfect fit for anyone.

    Gosh as teen I needed this video, so thank you on behalf of my younger me! I have that bra! It's a nice one, I also recommend the Satine T-shirt bra, it's a great one. I've plateaued at a 30HH and also pretty much exclusively go to Bravissimo and it makes my bank account cry. I was a G/GG from year 10-12, and honestly I thought I was done, they year 13 came round and I grew again. I was mad, ngl. Babies are going to be... well we'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
    Until I was 18 my dad payed for my bras, which was very lovely of him and also basically the only way I could have afforded them.
    My family has large breasts: my aunts and cousins on my dad's side and then my mum herself. My mum took me to Rigby and Peller in London (Brent Cross I think) when I was 13 for my first ever proper fitting, and told me some of the tips you gave in this video! Though sadly not all. She died when I was 14, so from then I either went on my own (with my dad's credit card) or with one of my adult cousins.
    I can get the middle bit to sit flat in between my boobs - have you tried lots of different cups (I can't wear balconettes for example, they just don't work because boob shape, they don't sit in the middle) but plunge style sits completely fine (see Satine T-shirt bras).
    And finally, in this monster of a comment, a missed tip: If your boobs are slightly different sizes to each other, firstly do not worry, this is very common! Secondly, always fit your bras to the larger breast.

    Im a 34J and wear only one style of bra from bravissimo as I’ve gave up trying to fit into different styles, I know my size and they now do it in loads of colours so I can have a bit of variety. Watching you explain how to fasten multiple hooks has made me realise I don’t even think about how I fasten my bras, I got my first bra when I was 10 so had nearly 18 years of putting them on haha!

    I’m almost crying over this. I live in the US, and I’ve never owned a bra that fit me. I used to just get 32 back bras and safety pin them up. This is the first time I’ve found a resource like this that actually applies to me! I’m going to look at the websites for the brands you mentioned now, and maybe I’ll actually find one that fits.

    Thank you for your tips!!! I have the same "problem" (small waist but bigger boobs). I got fitted in a small local shop that specializes in big cups, but even they didn't have more than 2-3 bras in that size. Found no other good stores or German online shops either. Sooo after years of desperate search, you naming bravissimo was a life changer!! Currently sitting here in my big pile of Panache bras in every colour

    I stumbled upon Bravissimo thanks to an Instagram post of you a couple years ago. I'm in awe and regularly "window-shop" on their website. They are however way too expensive for me, plus the immense shipping cost because they only have stores in the UK. They're my number one must-visit-spot if I ever travel to GB!!

    32GG here! And I'm only nineteen! It was such a long process and I'm constantly needing new ones and bras are not cheap and they can fall apart so easily once *one thing* goes wrong. But Bravissimo was literally my saviour, me and my mum found it when I was about 13. Literally saved my back.

  • @quinnwilder6990

    Wonderful video! I've never even considered balconette bras as a practical thing since anything less than full coverage has never seemed like it would have enough support or be comfortable enough. I also have many friends who swear that bra pads are the only way they can ever make their bras fit right or look good.

      Make sure you are sized correctly, if you are in US or anywhere except Poland or in the UK and have been to a bravissimo, chances are you are in an badly fitting bra. They always told me I was a 32A, but I am actually a 28DD. Average breast size is F-GG cup and small breast size is a D cup.
      Check out ABraThatFits on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/abrathatfits , www.bratabase.com , www.brasizecalculator.tk and A Sophisticated Pair here on You Tube.
      A well fitting bra is important for all women regardless of breast size.
      My measurements are 28 inch under bust/rib cage and 33 inch bust. That means a 28 band and DD cup because 33-28=5. A 5 inch difference is a DD.
      Where Victorias Secret and every other bra place say that I am a 32A because 28=4=32 and 32-33=1. No, this makes no sense and provides me no support and leaves me very uncomfortable with a bra band that rides up my back. The whole bra moves when I lift my arms up, no. This is outdated and doesn't make sense. Just measure the under bust/rib cage and the bust. The rib measurement is the same as the band size. Then subtract that from your bust measurement.

    Yay, we have the same size! Finally I "met" someone who gets the struggle! I was actually able to find the bra which fits super snug perfectly against my skin Panache Ultimate High Impact Underwire Sports Bra.
    Also, Bravissimo currently have only one store in US, it's in New York at 433 West Broadway. But they have a US web site with free shipping and returns for US. Though the prices tend to run way higher there, so if I'm getting something I know is going to fit for sure I still can order on the UK web site.
    Sadly, while you can find half decent clothes for GG cup in US, finding anything for 28 GG besides Bravissimo is close to impossible.

    Strapless bras are pretty poop with smaller sizes too. Or I've never had a good one, idk. But yeah, I wouldn't even try.
    Omg. That loosest hook thing makes so much sense. I done it wrong all this time. Thank you!
    I tend to like straps that are as wide as possible. And even better if they're crossed, cause then they don't slip. Idk if you can get crossed ones on non-sports bras? Altho if they're detatchable you can just re-attach them crossed I guess?
    There's bras with just one hook? Wow.

    Regular balconettes are cut too high for my frame so the wires usually come up too high on my chest and in my armpits. Hope this helps someone!

You look amazing in the black Cleo Marcie, and if you can check out ABraThatFits on Reddit - they're so comprehensive and can help you find THE perfect fit, where no parts of the bra are not doing their job ❤️ I speak from my own 28G self experience when I say that it is possible to find bras with narrower gores (middles), but if the 28GG Marcie is too wide for you I'd recommend trying the Cleo Hettie and the Freya Soiree Lace and if that doesn't work go to ABraThatFits or Bratabase and ask about Polish bras.
