If you're so fat it's unhealthy then you shouldn't be fine with your body. But if you're a chubby girl who doesn't have health problems you do your thing, girl. But fat shaming still isn't a good thing, if someone is so fat it's unhealthy you should tell them to lose weight in a nice caring way.
There is nothing wrong with fat shaming. In countries where there is free health care which is paid for by taxpayers there is a problem with obese and morbidly obese people. You see, people are practically eating away your money by getting fat and then needing to undergo expensive operations/medical procedures. This same money could easily have gone to cancer research or other major medical issues but instead it's going towards helping a fat person who could have just not snacked between meals or just excersised.
Victoria Secret is HORRIBLE at bra fitting. I went in there saying "I wear a 38DD right now and it's way too small." They measure me, tell me I'm a 36D. I could barely hide my nipples in the bra they gave me. I ask them then, "How am I a D when I'm massively muffin topping out of a DD?" The lady then tells me my bra size is too large and Victoria Secret does not carry it. I currently am wearing a 38DDD but these bras are old and stretched out. I fall out the top and bottom of them x.x. But I can't afford to drop $40 - $60 a bra. AND WHY DOES NO ONE IN THE WORLD MAKE CUTE BRAS FOR ANYONE LARGER THAN A D? You're above a D and suddenly you must be a 65 year old woman who has given up on life and also breastfed 6 children.
Why are there comments saying "she is not hot, unsubbed!" ? To me she is the definition of beauty. She made this video, knowing she would get a lot of hate. She didn't care. That's true beauty.
Why do people have to notice a person's weight anyway? Her body size, not once, crossed my mind throughout the entire video. I just wanted to know where I could buy a good bra. And I also wanted to know how she became such a well-spoken person because I'd kill for presentation skills like hers :'0
Michelle Hernandez does sizing also take into account the thickness of the woman applied to? would she be wearing the same size bra 50-100 lbs lighter. obviously not, correct? just wondering~
Sayonara DOTexe Sizing takes into account a few things. The number is the band size, and should be a good approximate fit, based on measurement. The letter is the cup size and is determined by how many inches larger your over breast measurement is than your band measurement. However, not all breasts and cups are made equal, so YMMV. HTH.
Sayonara DOTexe . . What were you even trying to tell me? I was just saying that her weight didn't cross my mind. Her body measurements are her business.
Michelle Hernandez I asked out of curiosity because I do not have to deal with bras being a male. I was looking for confirmation, not to inform you with my lack of knowledge. Sorry for the mix up.
HOW TO SIZE A BRA FROM A COSTUME DESIGNER Measure under your bust in inches (this is the number part) Measure around the largest part of your breasts (this number will be bigger than the under bust first number). Subtract the small from the bigger number. (you now have a low number, usually single digit.) For every inch difference, you get a cup size (a letter). Example Underbust: 36 Bust: 40 40-36=4 Bra size: 36D Sister sizes: If your bra measurement is something super odd sounding like 30DDD, you can use sister sizes. If you make the band measurement (the number) one size bigger, then move down one letter size. For 30DDD try a 32DD. I hope this helped!!!
If they come up with some weird size like 30DDD, THAT IS THEIR SIZE! Instead of encouraging them to buy a sister size, why not direct them to a store that actually carries their size. I've seen women wearing a size 26J.
erennnnnnn The way you want to measure accurately is measure just under your breasts, where the tissue would fold if you pushed down. Then measure across the biggest part of your breasts. If you are a 32A, your underbust measurement is 32inches and your bust measurement is 33inches. All you have to do to find your cup size is subtract your underbust from your bust measurement. 33-32=1. 1=A cup 2=B 3=C 4=D 5=DD and so on. I measure a 30 underbust and 39.5 over. 39.5-30=9.5 so I wear a 30H or a 30I depending on the brand. My boobs don't look nearly as huge as you think because my band size is small.
Nordstrom nailed it perfectly for me, bless their beautiful hearts. Victoria's Secret is ALWAYS WRONG, and the bras they give me that should fit according to their sizing are insanely uncomfortable. You'd think they would train their employees a bit better in that rather vital area, as I come in willing to buy a bra but always end up getting them at Nordstrom.
I'm a C cup. VS insists I'm an A cup. Even though when I try on an A I'm so squished I'm spilled out of the too. Everywhere else I've been sized was correct.
I used to work at Lane Bryant and when they trained me they said that we should measure you in your current bra and use that as a jumping off point for picking sizes. Sizing isn't a science so a lot of it is guess work. So if you measure as a 40D, I'd bring you a 38D, 40D, and 42D to try on and see which feels most comfortable. The bra should fit snugly (but not tight) when on the first clasp so you can tighten as it stretches over time. The shape of the bra matters, too. You might end up going a cup size down in a full coverage bra or up in a demi or push up. I'm usually a 38D regardless of brand but I still always bring a size up and a size down into the dressing room with me before I buy anything.
Shame on all of you that are fat shaming this girl. At least she has confidence in herself unlike all you trolls that are hiding behind a computer bullying her.
Victoria's Secret only carries bra's up to a certain size. Then they try to convince you that you are a certain size, when you are not. So you try to shove yourself into that certain size. VS is not for big busted ladies!
It is, truly, none of my business, but I do wish men with 'moobs' would wear "flatteners" under their shirts, at least for "dress-up" or formal occasions. People are NOT under a public obligation to look good for other people - but it is nice when they do. BTW, there are companies which make undershirts for men which can do this (flatten their 'moobs' against their chests). I suppose that these would be uncomfortable on really hot days, but otherwise they would certainly help some men look better in a dress shirt.
It's stressful for the person measuring too. I've had to measure woman who right off the bat you could tell we didn't carry their size because A the measuring tape wouldn't go all the way around and B their boobs looked bigger than a G cup. I've had women who even though the bra was comfortable, disagreed with the size cause they wanted to be a B instead of an A or a 36c instead of a 40c..At some point i had to leave that department at work cause i felt like any day now i would loose it and be like "You know what measure yourself". It's true though every brand is different , depends on the material, the padding, the style, and who their target audience is.
Once I bought 2 bras in the same store. One was PERFECT for me. The other one was a little small. Same store, same size, I don't understand why they were different...
SadvιαnilLa I had the same exact problem with scrub pants I bought once and the only difference was the color. I learned that some stores will have the same sizes for different products manufactured at different factories around the world. For example a blue style is manufactured in china and the red style in mexico. Different factories have different sizing standards.
ZeeRa AreeZ I've always had the most difficult time finding my bra size even though I'm only a C. I need a way smaller band than most stores carry. The closest I can sometimes find to a small band size in a C is a 32, if I'm lucky, and that's still too big. Having boobs in general is hard I think lol.
This was really interesting! And for the people commenting negatively on her appearance, STFU seriously if we take all our negative energy and turn it into positive energy the world would be a much better place.
Jen Lomy I'm a relatively fat person(1.78m and 96kg => altough the fact that I have an american-made hospital-shirt that's sized M, as in medium I guess I'm not fat lol) and I'm saying da f**k is with that fugly thing ? being fat is NOT ok , its NOT normal , its ugly and more importantly unhealthy ... f**k political correctness ... if you're under 40 its not ok to be fat. I'm tired of this hippie bulls**t. I say it as it is. ... they have a lot of other girls to choose from ffs why did they choose THAT ...
NamelessONEMail "they have a lot of other girls to choose from ffs why did they choose THAT" I think they wanted a girl who had big boobs for the video. Because I think it's more difficult to find a bra that fits if you have bigger boobs. Also I'm not sure but i think people who are fat are usually more shy and may not want to get fitted for a bra by someone or try really big sizes in the store. So by showing her maybe buzzfeed is telling that big girls shouldn't worry about these things.
I've noticed a lot of woman will squeeeeze into a bra that's too small because they don't want to go up in back size so they'll get a bunch of spillage that looks bad in clothes
RobinOrzo - that’s the wrong bra for them ... you cannot be stuck on a bra type or size (I learned that from previous experience) - I just get fitted in the different types, and whatever makes ‘the girls’ look good, I stick with
I got measured at Victoria secret and she measured me over my clothes. She told me I was a 48 DDD she asked me what I was wearing now, and I said " 40 D ..." She went bugged eyed and didn't believe me. She then measured me without a shirt and apologized because my shirt added a few inches. I said " so why did you measure me with my shirt on in the first place? She admitted she had just been hired that month and wasn't sure what she was doing!
Oh, well my experience at Victoria secret was like this The lady measured me and told me I was a" A" but I had been wear a 32C and that's what fit me best. But the lady kept saying "no, your either a 32A or 32B" so I decided to just get measured by someone else and the new lady agreed with me. 😫 so somethings going on.
It was my first time being fitted, and my first time going to Victoria secret for a bra ( not just perfume and makeup lol) and I have been back since. That store really is for very thing women with A-C cups. They explained to me that anything above a 40D is not in the store and would have to be ordered online. I was shocked and said I never really come in for bras but I expected there to be nearly every size bra available. The manager, mind you was about the same size as me ( short chubby and heavy chested) " nothing comes to the stores bigger than a 40D. Maybe a few 40DD. I was very disappointed and gave up searching for my real size
Shantelle Benfica I dont know if all VS stores do this, but some have a specific day where a bra fitter comes in. I went to get sized when they had a bra fitter in at my local store, and she KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING. Unlike 99 percent of the girls at VS. The lady measured me, and then gave me a box in that size, with 6 different bra types, and I tried them all on and picked out what bra fit me the most comfortable. I always recommend people go to VS when the bra fitter is in, instead of being fitted by a chick who works the floor and doesn't know what she's doing.
Shantelle Benfica went to VS once the girl told me I was a B. tried that on (Knowing it was wrong) and rolled my eyes at her as I picked up a 32 D. sounds like none of those VS girls know what they're talking about.
Shantelle Benfica an employee at VS fitted me once and told me I was just a 38C.... she didn't even measure across my breasts, she measured my rib cage and above my chest near my armpits... what does that even do! I went about 6 months ago to a different store and the lady there actually got my REAL size which was a band size and four cup sizes bigger. And that size is usually universal among other stores too. I was just shocked that they keep people on staff who clearly have no idea what they're doing!
I love Kristin. ^^ Guess the next time I'll go shopping for bras I'll visit more shops than usually. Especially because normally I visit 2-3 shops and they rarely have bras bigger than C. I'm wearing 75D-85DD. European size. So probably around 38 in UK size.
holderoftheheart Thanks. :D It'll definitely be an useful thing to know if I'll ever menage to get away from this country. The shock on people's faces if I'd tell them that I'm looking for 85D in UK.
Tell me about it. I'm usually a 32-34E depending on the particular bra and you have no idea how had it is to find small bandwidth and big cups under like £30. And when you do they're usually pretty similar to what my grandmother would by, not that anyone is going to see my bra, but I still think that a pretty bra is a major confidence boost.
Mills Obb Oh, I get you... I love pretty, sexy underwear, but sometimes it's choosing between looking good and feeling confident and being comfortable. I'm guilty of getting a bra that's a bit too small sometimes, because I like it's design so much. My boobs usually crush the wires which stab me until I get back home and take it off. I don't believe that there are so many As, Bs and Cs out there and so little Ds and Es. I get that super big bras can be hard to get, like H or something, but that's because you rarely see women with breasts in this size. I see women with breasts D, E and even F pretty often. I guess it's the same as with shoes. There are only small and medium sizes even though recently girls seem to have bigger feet than before, just because small shoes look prettier and cuter on the shelves.
For a time when I was younger, I was wearing training bras. But when I got older, I went to a bra section on the second floor of a store (forget which store exactly). I asked the woman working there if she could fit me to get my correct size. Without measuring, she takes one look at me and says you're never going to fit in a bra, there's nothing there. Aaaand, that was the time when I both was publicly humiliated and decided not to wear bras. Later on, realizing that I don't need to wear a bra turned out to be an amazingly free feeling and I feel so sorry for women who do need to wear them because it's the most uncomfortable thing ever.
I'm not here for the boobs (surprised?) But I'm here just to see the process of a bra size because I've kinda been curious on how that works this video helped me get closer to better realize it and notify me as a man to realize an another problem girls and women have so, I can proudly say I am a Man not here for any sex appeal but here as a person of curiosity.
I love this girl so much, her humour and sass is everything. It's so so tough finding the right bra and it really is a trial and error sort of thing. It's interesting to see how different fitters interpret bra sizes in the different stores.
These are some of the meanest comments I have ever seen but most aren't sadly , Kristen is beautiful and nobody should say otherwise give her some love guys she is a human being too
I wish I had money for bras lol And when I do, its only enough to buy storebrand bras like Target of Walmart and its almost impossible to find a comfortable bra there. And once I do, they are the most boring things on the planet xD Tiny boobs get all the fun patterns in regular stores.. I would love to go to Nordstrom, that bra she was wearing was so cute.. and they clearly have nice designs for larger breasted women.
I actually find cute bra's at Walmart. I'm a size 38 D and I have to HUNT for cute bras in my size. Either you can have kinda cute and somewhat comfy or Super cute and hurts SO bad. No in between
Hey Kristin, I'm new to these videos but I can sympathize with you on the difficulty to find bras. I got really frustrated with the American sizing system and how they thought just adding a "D" to the end magically made the bra fit better. Three years ago I switched to the European system (it's really easy to size yourself tutorials online) and I've never looked back. They're so comfy I can wear an underwire all day and not have any red marks on my shoulders or ribs. I think every girl would benefit from this tip.
"Just because you're one size in one place, does not mean you're that size everywhere." That's an understatement. I usually just stick to the few bras I have, but a couple of weeks ago I decided I'd try get something new. I went to Ann Summers (UK). Tried on a DD which fit me alright. Tried on a G which was TOO SMALL. So in ONE SHOP they don't even stick to the same sizes. Being a girl is hard. My boyfriend was away on a trip last weekend and he wanted to be sweet and bring me back a nice bra, but unfortunately I didn't even know what size to tell him so no new bra for me. :( I wish I had tiny cute little boobs so that this was easier.
40DD or 40D .. Victoria Secrets I am 34DD.. Bali 36DD Vanity Fair 36D. I was a bra specialist 10 years at Macys. If you have more side boob go to a full fit… the perfect full fit at VS is great. Full fit doesn’t mean large instead means the cup is wider and band under arms a little fuller. Also if you find a bra that fits great in the cup but tight in band then up band size and lower cup. 36D cup perfect but band tight then go to 38C. If 36D cup perfect but band loose go to 34DD . Every time you change band size it changes cup size. If band fits great on 38D but cup to big do 38C. If you adjust band size it changes cup size! A 32DDD =34DD =36D=38C=40B in cup size.. only band is different
No one cares about your opinion on her weight. No one but you knows why you are watching this even though you don't wear bras. Two main irrelevant comment topics on this video addressed. Carry on.
RavensSarora Maybe she should just buy a sports bra and get on the fucking treadmill. Then she would't have this problem and stores wouldn't have to cater to her fat ass.
Sam Gee Why are you even watching this video? THE TITLE LITERALLY STATES WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT. Can you read properly? Or do you just sit at home in the jeans that your mom bought you in 2008 and write dumbass shit on the internet?
I actually REALLY love this video. My best friend is always trying to wear a D bra even though she is a C because she doesn't want to be the same size as her sister... it looks terrible on her OMG And if anyone tries to tell her that she will argue with you till the end of time. Ladies, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. Different brands have different measurements and no one else is going to know the size but you! You don't need to look like a little girl wearing her moms bra to feel good about yourself!
VS is horrible at fittings. multiple times I came in to get a sizing and they did it right in the middle of the store OVER MY CLOTHING and always telling me I'm a 30-32 B I'm a 32/34 DD, if not more. I lost hope in them lol
It upsets me how many comments are negatively focused on her weight. If you don't like it, leave. Why are you spreading hate and hurting someone's feelings?
I went to Victoria's Secret once and the fitter measured me and went "are you wearing a push up bra?" and I'm like no, I'm wearing a sports bra, and she gave me such a confused face and she still didn't believe me and made me try on a 32a and I'm a 32d😂
Victoria’s Secret bras are not accurately sized for the average woman to begin with. Go to a place that sells larger sized clothes, so that you can narrow down where you successfully bra-shop.
I went into a VS today wearing a 32B bra from H&M, I got measured and told I was a 32DD which the bra actually fits nicely and the wire doesn’t sit on my breasts like it did with the 32B. So idk anymore 🤷♀️ I’m going w VS bc it sounds like my boobs are bigger than they actually are ✌️
KRISTIN AKA MY QUEEN! I remember reading this article when it first came out over Facebook, I think you shared it through your profile or something. Anyways, I love seeing you in videos and I wish you were in more! Hope to see you in more in the future, you're so much fun and really light up the videos you're in!
It's honestly makes me sad how mean people truly are. And what society has come of us. People criticize over "fat" people. And are hateful about it. I feel bad for those people. Cause they can't enjoy life without hate.
It's tough love. Obesity and obesity related illnesses are the current number on killers of Americans. We can either convince them to lose the weight or watch them die.
welcometodajacquie It's less about watching them die and more about watching them kill themselves with food. Also, it makes perfect sense for healthcare to cost money. It's a service only a highly skilled professional knows how to provide. Highly skilled services should be free?
David Koch I understand your point however, according to our society, you're either too fat or too skinny and people will point out the littlest of things that aren't really bad but are put in bad light because it's not what society believes to be the 'perfect size'.
Yay! I love this video! Thank you Kristen! It can be so hard to find a professional, involved shop assistant. Especially for something as delicate as bar fitting. I've noticed a lot that these days that clothing businesses don't want big girl business. The most embarrassing thing isn't that I have to buy bigger sizes now (Australian 18-22 depending on the company) but that they're always a restricted range, right up the back of the store and the shop assistants never seem to know what they do or don't have in those sizes. The worst I'd experienced happened recently where a store with two entrances moved all girl 20+ clothing (which they have a separate name for) to the back entrance of the store right next to the super skinny female exercise clothing and diet bars. Literally you could not even get to the clothing without seeing size 6 & 8 workout outfits and weightloss bars. (sigh)
Question: How many bras should a girl have to be normal, and second how long should a girl wear a bra before she should change it? I never asked my mom this and now it's been years since I've started wearing bras, and it's a little too late to ask her now.
Lenny The Hopeless Mainly girls have up to 9 bras but only wear around 6 (I saw this fact recently) the length period of wearing a bra is similar to a shirt, you can change every day or even every week (shh, no one knows...) just as long as you was them and keep them in good condition! you can have as many bras as you like honestly, i like to sort out my bras in sections, sexy bras, comfy bras, sports bras... etc!
Aww I understand. I tried a very trustworthy bra size calculator and I got 30DD! It's actually not that big a size, but I've never seen one, or anything close, in stores. It's hard to even find sizes under 34". I wish you the best of luck!
lola del lay Try Nordstrom, they might be able to help. Otherwise, try specialised stores or the stores that get them tailored (most of them are surprisingly cheap). I'm a 36DDDD or a 36E according to Nordstrom (over a year ago) but the bra I tried was actually too large around. They had the size, they just slightly messed up and since I didn't tell them anything...
I'm a 28F. They don't even sell those at Nordstrom or other shops with typically wide ranges. It is even hard to find online and they are way to pricey. So I usually go for a 30 DD If I can find it but even those are expensive and hard to find.
lola del lay Bravissimo (smallest cup size starts at D), they're a bit expensive because of the exchange rate (they're a british franchise) also check out their sister franchise Pepperberry they make clothes for busty women.
Whenever I've had a bra fitted, it's been really comfortable - I don't know if this is a UK thing or just the place I go to, but they don't measure over clothes or your current bra, and they're really professional about it. I don't know, it's probably not what everyone feels comfortable doing, but it works for me.
Amen! Love it! Finally! An honest take on bra size & getting fitted! Kristin nailed it w/ this one! I've had similar experiences. I went to one very high end lingerie store that advertised "we have trained specialists to FIT you!" The woman looked at me in the fitting room, wrapped a tape around my chest (bra on only), & said, "You're between a (blank) size & a (blank) size." The bras at this place started at $60 & went up from there, & she couldn't give me an accurate size. The only bras they sold were their own brand, none of which fit me very well.
The idea of going into different stores and having to physically take off and put back on a bra sounds exhausting. I'll just stick the same bra I've have for the last 5 years of my life.
I totally agree. I once walked into a Victoria Secret with a friend of mine(in high school) and the woman came up to me and told me "I'm sorry but we don't have anything in your size." based only by looking at me. She may or may not have been right since I know the now Victoria Secret has Bra's in my size, but it's gonna cost me around $50+ to get one. The second time I went to one of their stores a woman asked me what size I was wear told me i was wrong measured me then told me my actual size. As soon as I had the bra on I knew she was right. Some employs have no clue what they are doing and some do, keep that in mind.
AMEN TO THIS!!!! I am a larger busy girl and when I went to a store to get my bra size measured they told me I was a triple D. WRONG. I feel most comfortable and look the best in a JJ!! I never would have known this without trial and error, and most of all, not taking it at someone else's word! Listen to your body and how you feel! Love this video!!
Getting fitted at Victoria's Secret is so nice. The fitter is so gentle and sweet and they give you a whole bunch of options to try. I mean her experience wasn't to good but when I go with my friends they always get the size right and the are so comfortable.:))))
It is 100% true that there is no common bra size since sizes vary so much between stores. At Victoria's Secret, I'm a 34DD but for one of my favorite underwear companies called xhiliration, I'm a 36D but both bras fit me absolutely perfectly and are comfortable. I even own a well-fitting 36C from Target because that companies' sizes probably run larger. I tend to stick with buying bras from VS though because most other stores don't have DDs or Ds that are as pretty where VS has the same designs in every bra size like it should be.
Atqiya Syed - JC Penney’s carries DDD and so do the bigger bra shops like Lane Bryant, Dillard’s and Nordstrom’s - other than that, you need to shop online at those specific retail sites and others in the internet
***** Actually yeah it does. Nordstrom bras aren't exactly "different" than normal bras but thy do tend to carry more European brands. European bra sizing is a tad bit different than American sizing (and a HELL of a lot more universalized) so in a way they're kinda right
Nordstrom is awesome. Other places told me I was a 34DDD. But I felt like I was dying in them. They ended up sizing me with a 36HH, and the bras lasted 4 years. The straps were pretty thick, but it made the stay fit for longer. Also, they were like belts. You could tighten the straps infinitely. 10/10.
Kamren Walker I wear a bra when I want to and sometimes when I go out to certain places. I have big boobs so sometimes I will wear one when it starts to hurt, usually if I am doing a lot of walking, running, and exercise sort of deal. If I am also trying to dress nicely I will wear a bra because 'stylish clothes' because having my boobs more held up looks better and you can sometimes see my boobs or nips in certain clothing. Then it is mainly a 'I want to look nice" sort of deal. When I am at home or going to the grocery store I usually skip the bras because it feels more comfortable. I cannot sleep in a bra so I never wear one to sleep. It just depends. I am one who is mad that bras are somewhat a society forced thing and not wearing one in public is taboo. When I was very sore and ill I had to continue going to school and wearing a bra was extremely painful and made me feel worse but I had to.
Swag Fab Yes but they are boobs....that is what they are naturally supposed to do..... I am pretty sure unless you have small boobs that is what anyones will do without a bra
I need my bra because it really hurts my back otherwise, it's different for everyone, normally people with smaller don't need a bra as much as people with bigger breasts
The way you measure what cup size you are is different for every brand or store. I know that sometimes you measure the plumpest point of your chest and then you measure around where your bra straps end at the top of the actual padding. But most times, you DO measure the plumpest point as well as measuring UNDER the actual bust area to get your exact cup size.
I know the number's 10, but I still don't know whether I'm a C or a D. It's really depending on the bra what fits better. But my mum has a habit of buying cheap bras, these are always 10D, since this is what I usually get. But most of the time they're too big, but when I go with her to buy them, the C's are too small. It's really confusing, and no asking someone at the store has never helped me, my mum's experience with bras has always worked out better. My mum over estimates sometimes, but if the person working there hasn't done it too, they've underestimated by a lot. It could be a lot worse though, while I'm certainly not flat chested, they're at a size where there's plenty of options no matter what store I'm in (though it'd be better if I was an A or B, or a more solid C, since they have an insane mount of abundance everywhere). Busty women do have terrible trouble with bra shopping. I've never met one who has ever walked in, brought a bra, and left happy. If they've found their size at all, it was likely over $100. The deals in stores focuses on smaller sizes which sometimes I can take advantage of, but mostly not, since it is the really small sizes that get those god damn sales. While I'm practically a D, it's completely true that I have around the smallest boobs out of the people I know. So I really don't understand those sales. In regards to shitty help by the people working there, my friend's mother has gigantic boobs, and she probably has the best example of it happening that I've heard. All I've gone though is people not knowing whether I'm a 10C or a 10D, ditto with my sister, and with my mother it's the same story except with much larger sizes. But this women walked in to a store to find a new bra, and when she had difficulties asked for some assistance. They told her she was a C cup. That's how small mine are, I don't think this women has looked down and seen her feet in 20 years, they're huge, she's not a C. Even so, being polite she tried on the bra they gave her. It literally only fit one breast, screw being too tight, it didn't even cover the both of them. So she went out and showed them, before picking up a bra five sizes larger, put it on, found it to be a perfect fit and showed them how a bra is supposed to look on someone. She then brought that one and left. I don't think she's going to return to that store anytime soon.
+meowool yeah, I'm the opposite. I hate wearing balcony bras because there's too much on top. Tshirt bras are most comfortable for me. Meanwhile, my best friend only wears balcony bras because they fit her best.
I just buy ones with no wiring or padding that come in S, M + L; they tend to fit fine and are v comfortable. The perks of being practically flat chested, amirite laydeez?
*Looks in comments* 10% throwing a fit about her weight 85% complaining about the people complaining about her weight 5% actually related to the video Oh boy, yet another unrelated comment section on a Buzzfeed video! Great job guys!
I went to Victoria secret to get a new bra (cause that's where I've been going since I bumped up to a D). Well Victoria secret runs small and I was trying on my old bra sizes (far too small) and the fitter basically sold me a bra that I hated but I was feeling really down and embarrassed cause I had just tried on like seven bras so I didn't want to ask for a new size so I bought the bra that gave me four boobs. I returned that later and decided I would never buy a bra from Victoria secret again because they don't fit me and the bra "experts" are too pushy. I went to a boutique instead where they range from 28A-40K so they were bound to have my size. The lady asked my current bra size (34DD) and immediately said by looking at me that was too small. Measured me with tape and told me my new size (34DDD). The Victoria secret bra was $63 and made me feel horrible. This bra was $40 and made me feel sexy because a) it fit and b) it was pretty and lacy (practically impossible to find for a big bra)
'I want a bra to fit because it's the right size not because I slowly broke its spirit' 😂😂😂😂
Best line ever. The struggle is real. I have bras that are more broken than Gitmo inmates.
I read this as she said it lol 😂
This comment killed me LMAO xD

"I want a bra to fit because it's the right size, not because I slowly broke its spirit."
LOL
Cielia Casaway I read this as she said it
One big tip is this:
If you find a bra that fits well and you love the way you look/feel in it….BUY A BUNCH OF THEM IN EVERY COLOR THEY SELL!
whutzat that’s what I did
whutzat lol that’s what I do
Exactly, because 2 months later they will stop selling them all together which pisses me off
Oh Hella yeah !
This video has literally nothing to do with weight and people are criticizing her weight....and people say fat shaming isn't a problem in our society.
If you're so fat it's unhealthy then you shouldn't be fine with your body. But if you're a chubby girl who doesn't have health problems you do your thing, girl.
But fat shaming still isn't a good thing, if someone is so fat it's unhealthy you should tell them to lose weight in a nice caring way.
There is nothing wrong with fat shaming. In countries where there is free health care which is paid for by taxpayers there is a problem with obese and morbidly obese people. You see, people are practically eating away your money by getting fat and then needing to undergo expensive operations/medical procedures. This same money could easily have gone to cancer research or other major medical issues but instead it's going towards helping a fat person who could have just not snacked between meals or just excersised.
Yeah, haven't you heard? Fat people arent people, it's totally okay to treat them like crap.
Being fat is unhealthy just like smoking it should not be encouraged.
or she could lose weight with her fatass.
Kristin is one of my favorite Buzzfeed ladies. She's definitely the type of person I'd want to be friends with.
***** Thanks!
What because shes fat? You think she needs your support?
***** Do you honestly expect anything else from someone with the annoying orange as their picture?
Lmao, yes, it's definitely because she's fat. Because people can't like other people for reasons besides thinking they need "support" for being fat.
JorRob001 No, she needs only the bra from Nordstrom for support!
Victoria Secret is HORRIBLE at bra fitting. I went in there saying "I wear a 38DD right now and it's way too small." They measure me, tell me I'm a 36D. I could barely hide my nipples in the bra they gave me. I ask them then, "How am I a D when I'm massively muffin topping out of a DD?" The lady then tells me my bra size is too large and Victoria Secret does not carry it. I currently am wearing a 38DDD but these bras are old and stretched out. I fall out the top and bottom of them x.x. But I can't afford to drop $40 - $60 a bra. AND WHY DOES NO ONE IN THE WORLD MAKE CUTE BRAS FOR ANYONE LARGER THAN A D? You're above a D and suddenly you must be a 65 year old woman who has given up on life and also breastfed 6 children.
April I read this with such sympathy... I’m a 34DD or 32DDD and it just sucks having this kind of bust. All. The. Time.
One word: Wish.
I felt this 😂😂😂 imma bigger chested female not too many of my bras are pretty
@@bananabuttersomethin for me its thirdlove, sure they're expensive but they're the only ones that fit and have my size
As someone with GGs I completely sympathise
Why are there comments saying "she is not hot, unsubbed!" ? To me she is the definition of beauty. She made this video, knowing she would get a lot of hate. She didn't care. That's true beauty.
Slend R Man Amen
Yes, she's beautiful
I think shes ugly
itslisanne i dont care
itslisanne thats an opinion
Why do people have to notice a person's weight anyway? Her body size, not once, crossed my mind throughout the entire video.
I just wanted to know where I could buy a good bra. And I also wanted to know how she became such a well-spoken person because I'd kill for presentation skills like hers :'0
Michelle Hernandez does sizing also take into account the thickness of the woman applied to? would she be wearing the same size bra 50-100 lbs lighter. obviously not, correct? just wondering~
Sayonara DOTexe Sizing takes into account a few things. The number is the band size, and should be a good approximate fit, based on measurement. The letter is the cup size and is determined by how many inches larger your over breast measurement is than your band measurement. However, not all breasts and cups are made equal, so YMMV. HTH.
Sayonara DOTexe . . What were you even trying to tell me? I was just saying that her weight didn't cross my mind. Her body measurements are her business.
Michelle Hernandez I asked out of curiosity because I do not have to deal with bras being a male. I was looking for confirmation, not to inform you with my lack of knowledge. Sorry for the mix up.
hewitt watson I feel like maybe you will survive.
As a male I have no clue what to do with this newly aquired information.
Understand the pain. That is all.
+Anna Remler what pain?
+Anna Remler Or you could stop complaining that would be amazing thanks
hadensdimension or you could not demean people if you don't understand what they go through, that would be amazing thanks
If you date a woman, buy her a bra. Done.

HOW TO SIZE A BRA FROM A COSTUME DESIGNER
Measure under your bust in inches (this is the number part)
Measure around the largest part of your breasts (this number will be bigger than the under bust first number). Subtract the small from the bigger number. (you now have a low number, usually single digit.) For every inch difference, you get a cup size (a letter).
Example
Underbust: 36
Bust: 40
40-36=4
Bra size: 36D
Sister sizes:
If your bra measurement is something super odd sounding like 30DDD, you can use sister sizes. If you make the band measurement (the number) one size bigger, then move down one letter size. For 30DDD try a 32DD.
I hope this helped!!!
This is how they do it at Torrid, where I work, and every women I've sized has loved and bought the bra I've suggested
If they come up with some weird size like 30DDD, THAT IS THEIR SIZE! Instead of encouraging them to buy a sister size, why not direct them to a store that actually carries their size. I've seen women wearing a size 26J.
+Beckah Mataronas seriously, I'm a 30D & the sister size never fits me right. Too small in the cups, too big of a band & straps.
maybe im doing this wrong but thatd make me a DD and im a 32a
erennnnnnn The way you want to measure accurately is measure just under your breasts, where the tissue would fold if you pushed down. Then measure across the biggest part of your breasts. If you are a 32A, your underbust measurement is 32inches and your bust measurement is 33inches. All you have to do to find your cup size is subtract your underbust from your bust measurement. 33-32=1. 1=A cup 2=B 3=C 4=D 5=DD and so on. I measure a 30 underbust and 39.5 over. 39.5-30=9.5 so I wear a 30H or a 30I depending on the brand. My boobs don't look nearly as huge as you think because my band size is small.

Nordstrom nailed it perfectly for me, bless their beautiful hearts. Victoria's Secret is ALWAYS WRONG, and the bras they give me that should fit according to their sizing are insanely uncomfortable. You'd think they would train their employees a bit better in that rather vital area, as I come in willing to buy a bra but always end up getting them at Nordstrom.
I'm a C cup. VS insists I'm an A cup. Even though when I try on an A I'm so squished I'm spilled out of the too. Everywhere else I've been sized was correct.
Josephine Thornton Try Soma Intimates! I love it there!
Rachel Erlandsen I agree! Great place to go, with a reasonable clearance section :)
I can't speak for anyone else but I agree with you. I went through the same thing. My mom did a better job with my bra fitting.
I beg to differ. VS aren't always wrong.

@Brenna Smith oh ok we don’t like him bc he doesn’t support gays and killing babys ok sweetie
@Marcy K it’s widely known he doesn’t support the lgbtq, hes also sexist to women and a racist.
I used to work at Lane Bryant and when they trained me they said that we should measure you in your current bra and use that as a jumping off point for picking sizes. Sizing isn't a science so a lot of it is guess work. So if you measure as a 40D, I'd bring you a 38D, 40D, and 42D to try on and see which feels most comfortable. The bra should fit snugly (but not tight) when on the first clasp so you can tighten as it stretches over time. The shape of the bra matters, too. You might end up going a cup size down in a full coverage bra or up in a demi or push up. I'm usually a 38D regardless of brand but I still always bring a size up and a size down into the dressing room with me before I buy anything.
Shame on all of you that are fat shaming this girl. At least she has confidence in herself unlike all you trolls that are hiding behind a computer bullying her.
Kimberley H she thick not fat ;-;
Yeah and for that matter no one should fat shame or body shame because everyone is different and you should love your body.
38 C??? Was that lady blind??? Or was she making up for the fact that that's probably the biggest size at that store
Victoria's Secret only carries bra's up to a certain size. Then they try to convince you that you are a certain size, when you are not. So you try to shove yourself into that certain size. VS is not for big busted ladies!
The VS near me carries DDD, and they are really good at measuring too.
Sharon La Tour tbh vs is not for anyone whos not a 34b or 36c
The VS near me carries F’s
Claudia Vélez i know the VS near me has DD at least??
"Like most humans with boobs" OMG I'm dying!!😂😂

Kristin is a good comedienne. She usually makes me laugh in her videos.
It is, truly, none of my business, but I do wish men with 'moobs' would wear "flatteners" under their shirts, at least for "dress-up" or formal occasions. People are NOT under a public obligation to look good for other people - but it is nice when they do.
BTW, there are companies which make undershirts for men which can do this (flatten their 'moobs' against their chests). I suppose that these would be uncomfortable on really hot days, but otherwise they would certainly help some men look better in a dress shirt.
I LOVE YOU KRISTEN!! "You can't swing a tit" LOLOL
Her name is Kristin
USCHI LOU I was going to say that
Hi
THIS STRESSES ME OUT SO MUCH
It's stressful for the person measuring too. I've had to measure woman who right off the bat you could tell we didn't carry their size because A the measuring tape wouldn't go all the way around and B their boobs looked bigger than a G cup. I've had women who even though the bra was comfortable, disagreed with the size cause they wanted to be a B instead of an A or a 36c instead of a 40c..At some point i had to leave that department at work cause i felt like any day now i would loose it and be like "You know what measure yourself". It's true though every brand is different , depends on the material, the padding, the style, and who their target audience is.
Once I bought 2 bras in the same store. One was PERFECT for me. The other one was a little small.
Same store, same size, I don't understand why they were different...
Maybe they were different brands
TheAlyxoxo They're the same brand too. The only different thing between both was the pattern!
It also depends on the which person sewed it in the factory.
Every bra fits differently, there are certain styles that are smaller or won't suit you.
SadvιαnilLa I had the same exact problem with scrub pants I bought once and the only difference was the color. I learned that some stores will have the same sizes for different products manufactured at different factories around the world. For example a blue style is manufactured in china and the red style in mexico. Different factories have different sizing standards.
Big bra = expensive price.
Small bra = cheap price
Big bra = Ugly design
Small bra = cute design
😑
Accurate.
Tiana Perkison actually I'm underweight, recovering from anorexia
ZeeRa AreeZ but finding small sizes is hard
the struggle is real
ZeeRa AreeZ I've always had the most difficult time finding my bra size even though I'm only a C. I need a way smaller band than most stores carry. The closest I can sometimes find to a small band size in a C is a 32, if I'm lucky, and that's still too big. Having boobs in general is hard I think lol.
This was really interesting! And for the people commenting negatively on her appearance, STFU seriously if we take all our negative energy and turn it into positive energy the world would be a much better place.
Jen Lomy You're being negative to negative people.
Jen Lomy I'm a relatively fat person(1.78m and 96kg => altough the fact that I have an american-made hospital-shirt that's sized M, as in medium I guess I'm not fat lol) and I'm saying da f**k is with that fugly thing ? being fat is NOT ok , its NOT normal , its ugly and more importantly unhealthy ... f**k political correctness ... if you're under 40 its not ok to be fat. I'm tired of this hippie bulls**t. I say it as it is. ... they have a lot of other girls to choose from ffs why did they choose THAT ...
***** If we took all the judgmental, body shaming a-holes and sent them on a one way trip to Mars, the world would be a better place.
*****
you are obviously missing the point.
NamelessONEMail "they have a lot of other girls to choose from ffs why did they choose THAT"
I think they wanted a girl who had big boobs for the video. Because I think it's more difficult to find a bra that fits if you have bigger boobs. Also I'm not sure but i think people who are fat are usually more shy and may not want to get fitted for a bra by someone or try really big sizes in the store. So by showing her maybe buzzfeed is telling that big girls shouldn't worry about these things.
I've noticed a lot of woman will squeeeeze into a bra that's too small because they don't want to go up in back size so they'll get a bunch of spillage that looks bad in clothes
RobinOrzo - that’s the wrong bra for them ... you cannot be stuck on a bra type or size (I learned that from previous experience) - I just get fitted in the different types, and whatever makes ‘the girls’ look good, I stick with
My god so many of the fitters were such crap. Not surprised that Nordstroms "crushed it" - they're kind of famous for their lingerie service.
I got measured at Victoria secret and she measured me over my clothes. She told me I was a 48 DDD she asked me what I was wearing now, and I said " 40 D ..." She went bugged eyed and didn't believe me. She then measured me without a shirt and apologized because my shirt added a few inches. I said " so why did you measure me with my shirt on in the first place? She admitted she had just been hired that month and wasn't sure what she was doing!
Oh, well my experience at Victoria secret was like this
The lady measured me and told me I was a" A" but I had been wear a 32C and that's what fit me best. But the lady kept saying "no, your either a 32A or 32B" so I decided to just get measured by someone else and the new lady agreed with me. 😫 so somethings going on.
It was my first time being fitted, and my first time going to Victoria secret for a bra ( not just perfume and makeup lol) and I have been back since. That store really is for very thing women with A-C cups. They explained to me that anything above a 40D is not in the store and would have to be ordered online. I was shocked and said I never really come in for bras but I expected there to be nearly every size bra available. The manager, mind you was about the same size as me ( short chubby and heavy chested) " nothing comes to the stores bigger than a 40D. Maybe a few 40DD. I was very disappointed and gave up searching for my real size
Shantelle Benfica I dont know if all VS stores do this, but some have a specific day where a bra fitter comes in. I went to get sized when they had a bra fitter in at my local store, and she KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING. Unlike 99 percent of the girls at VS. The lady measured me, and then gave me a box in that size, with 6 different bra types, and I tried them all on and picked out what bra fit me the most comfortable.
I always recommend people go to VS when the bra fitter is in, instead of being fitted by a chick who works the floor and doesn't know what she's doing.
Shantelle Benfica went to VS once the girl told me I was a B. tried that on (Knowing it was wrong) and rolled my eyes at her as I picked up a 32 D. sounds like none of those VS girls know what they're talking about.
Shantelle Benfica an employee at VS fitted me once and told me I was just a 38C.... she didn't even measure across my breasts, she measured my rib cage and above my chest near my armpits... what does that even do! I went about 6 months ago to a different store and the lady there actually got my REAL size which was a band size and four cup sizes bigger. And that size is usually universal among other stores too. I was just shocked that they keep people on staff who clearly have no idea what they're doing!
I love Kristin. ^^
Guess the next time I'll go shopping for bras I'll visit more shops than usually. Especially because normally I visit 2-3 shops and they rarely have bras bigger than C. I'm wearing 75D-85DD. European size. So probably around 38 in UK size.
holderoftheheart Thanks. :D It'll definitely be an useful thing to know if I'll ever menage to get away from this country.
The shock on people's faces if I'd tell them that I'm looking for 85D in UK.
Vixanne
No problem! :D
LOL I know I'd be pretty shocked xD
Jay Don't you worry about it. I'm overweight too. :)
Tell me about it. I'm usually a 32-34E depending on the particular bra and you have no idea how had it is to find small bandwidth and big cups under like £30. And when you do they're usually pretty similar to what my grandmother would by, not that anyone is going to see my bra, but I still think that a pretty bra is a major confidence boost.
Mills Obb Oh, I get you... I love pretty, sexy underwear, but sometimes it's choosing between looking good and feeling confident and being comfortable. I'm guilty of getting a bra that's a bit too small sometimes, because I like it's design so much. My boobs usually crush the wires which stab me until I get back home and take it off.
I don't believe that there are so many As, Bs and Cs out there and so little Ds and Es. I get that super big bras can be hard to get, like H or something, but that's because you rarely see women with breasts in this size. I see women with breasts D, E and even F pretty often.
I guess it's the same as with shoes. There are only small and medium sizes even though recently girls seem to have bigger feet than before, just because small shoes look prettier and cuter on the shelves.
For a time when I was younger, I was wearing training bras. But when I got older, I went to a bra section on the second floor of a store (forget which store exactly). I asked the woman working there if she could fit me to get my correct size. Without measuring, she takes one look at me and says you're never going to fit in a bra, there's nothing there. Aaaand, that was the time when I both was publicly humiliated and decided not to wear bras. Later on, realizing that I don't need to wear a bra turned out to be an amazingly free feeling and I feel so sorry for women who do need to wear them because it's the most uncomfortable thing ever.
I'm not here for the boobs (surprised?) But I'm here just to see the process of a bra size because I've kinda been curious on how that works this video helped me get closer to better realize it and notify me as a man to realize an another problem girls and women have so, I can proudly say I am a Man not here for any sex appeal but here as a person of curiosity.
I like you
Good man.
Good for you 👍
Sliferredstudent did it answer your questions?
milkweedsage well it did help me understand that almost all quality of measurement can be different
I love this girl so much, her humour and sass is everything. It's so so tough finding the right bra and it really is a trial and error sort of thing. It's interesting to see how different fitters interpret bra sizes in the different stores.
Seriously, Kristin should consider becoming a comedian. I laughed on more than three occasions out loud, and that's impressive for me!
These are some of the meanest comments I have ever seen but most aren't sadly , Kristen is beautiful and nobody should say otherwise give her some love guys she is a human being too
I wish I had money for bras lol And when I do, its only enough to buy storebrand bras like Target of Walmart and its almost impossible to find a comfortable bra there.
And once I do, they are the most boring things on the planet xD Tiny boobs get all the fun patterns in regular stores.. I would love to go to Nordstrom, that bra she was wearing was so cute.. and they clearly have nice designs for larger breasted women.
I love target! Let's go shopping!
My Target bra is more comfortable than my Victoria's Secret Bra lol
I actually find cute bra's at Walmart. I'm a size 38 D and I have to HUNT for cute bras in my size. Either you can have kinda cute and somewhat comfy or Super cute and hurts SO bad. No in between
I'd
Snafu My favorite type! They have the best attitude and most heart! Peace!
Hey Kristin, I'm new to these videos but I can sympathize with you on the difficulty to find bras. I got really frustrated with the American sizing system and how they thought just adding a "D" to the end magically made the bra fit better. Three years ago I switched to the European system (it's really easy to size yourself tutorials online) and I've never looked back. They're so comfy I can wear an underwire all day and not have any red marks on my shoulders or ribs. I think every girl would benefit from this tip.
i dont even know about this because im flat chested.
Because your a brussel sprout
I feel u bro
Well, we can cosplay as a iron board or a plank of wood together,
My friend told me that my spirit animal was a slab of wood .-.
Embrace it.
LMAO! "Not because i slowly broke its spirit" I feel ya girl!
I feel you guys
when I first got fitted I was completely topless and now I feel violated
Oh my god im so sorry
Mary Kate Fitzpatrick where tf did u go to get fitted???
Where did you go? Cause that absolutely sucks :(
Okay, glad I’m not the only one!
Mary Kate Fitzpatrick Whattt?
Men can totally relate.

How?!
***** i agree because i have to go to at least 7 STORES to find at least one, its so stupid.
Obese Men*
Only on weekends
"Just because you're one size in one place, does not mean you're that size everywhere." That's an understatement. I usually just stick to the few bras I have, but a couple of weeks ago I decided I'd try get something new. I went to Ann Summers (UK). Tried on a DD which fit me alright. Tried on a G which was TOO SMALL. So in ONE SHOP they don't even stick to the same sizes. Being a girl is hard. My boyfriend was away on a trip last weekend and he wanted to be sweet and bring me back a nice bra, but unfortunately I didn't even know what size to tell him so no new bra for me. :( I wish I had tiny cute little boobs so that this was easier.
I have tiny boobs that are still a pain to find the right size. I just think it's always hard and always varies depending on the brand :/
40DD or 40D .. Victoria Secrets I am 34DD.. Bali 36DD Vanity Fair 36D. I was a bra specialist 10 years at Macys. If you have more side boob go to a full fit… the perfect full fit at VS is great. Full fit doesn’t mean large instead means the cup is wider and band under arms a little fuller. Also if you find a bra that fits great in the cup but tight in band then up band size and lower cup. 36D cup perfect but band tight then go to 38C. If 36D cup perfect but band loose go to 34DD . Every time you change band size it changes cup size. If band fits great on 38D but cup to big do 38C. If you adjust band size it changes cup size! A 32DDD =34DD =36D=38C=40B in cup size.. only band is different
No one cares about your opinion on her weight.
No one but you knows why you are watching this even though you don't wear bras.
Two main irrelevant comment topics on this video addressed. Carry on.
Thank you!! A decent person. :3
Probably a self righteous obese women...Also I'm pretty sure these things are true for all articles of clothing.
RavensSarora Maybe she should just buy a sports bra and get on the fucking treadmill. Then she would't have this problem and stores wouldn't have to cater to her fat ass.
Sam Gee Why are you even watching this video? THE TITLE LITERALLY STATES WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT. Can you read properly? Or do you just sit at home in the jeans that your mom bought you in 2008 and write dumbass shit on the internet?
E l m o I'm sorry, I pledged my life to not marrying you.
I actually REALLY love this video. My best friend is always trying to wear a D bra even though she is a C because she doesn't want to be the same size as her sister... it looks terrible on her OMG And if anyone tries to tell her that she will argue with you till the end of time. Ladies, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. Different brands have different measurements and no one else is going to know the size but you! You don't need to look like a little girl wearing her moms bra to feel good about yourself!
VS is horrible at fittings. multiple times I came in to get a sizing and they did it right in the middle of the store OVER MY CLOTHING and always telling me I'm a 30-32 B
I'm a 32/34 DD, if not more.
I lost hope in them lol
It upsets me how many comments are negatively focused on her weight. If you don't like it, leave. Why are you spreading hate and hurting someone's feelings?
Fffff, I remember once that this one store tried to get me into a 32B, I'm a 32DD. Her facial expresssion was hilarious
honestly I'm exactly the same 😂😭
I went to Victoria's Secret once and the fitter measured me and went "are you wearing a push up bra?" and I'm like no, I'm wearing a sports bra, and she gave me such a confused face and she still didn't believe me and made me try on a 32a and I'm a 32d😂
Same
Victoria’s Secret bras are not accurately sized for the average woman to begin with. Go to a place that sells larger sized clothes, so that you can narrow down where you successfully bra-shop.
I went into a VS today wearing a 32B bra from H&M, I got measured and told I was a 32DD which the bra actually fits nicely and the wire doesn’t sit on my breasts like it did with the 32B. So idk anymore 🤷♀️ I’m going w VS bc it sounds like my boobs are bigger than they actually are ✌️
the bra you tried on at Nordstrom is one of my favorites!! I've been wearing that bra (as my size changes) for like 3 years and it's super comfy!!
KRISTIN AKA MY QUEEN! I remember reading this article when it first came out over Facebook, I think you shared it through your profile or something. Anyways, I love seeing you in videos and I wish you were in more! Hope to see you in more in the future, you're so much fun and really light up the videos you're in!

She's really cute. I really adore her personality and I'm glad they made a video with just her :)
I think I would listen to anything Kristin says. She always puts a great spin on it!! She makes something that is mundane interesting!!
It's honestly makes me sad how mean people truly are. And what society has come of us. People criticize over "fat" people. And are hateful about it. I feel bad for those people. Cause they can't enjoy life without hate.
It's tough love. Obesity and obesity related illnesses are the current number on killers of Americans. We can either convince them to lose the weight or watch them die.
welcometodajacquie
It's less about watching them die and more about watching them kill themselves with food. Also, it makes perfect sense for healthcare to cost money. It's a service only a highly skilled professional knows how to provide. Highly skilled services should be free?
Ya. And no one should shame anyone for there body because you should love your body.
That's true because people with big boobs have a wide body type so people think there fat :(
David Koch I understand your point however, according to our society, you're either too fat or too skinny and people will point out the littlest of things that aren't really bad but are put in bad light because it's not what society believes to be the 'perfect size'.
We need more videos with Kristin!
I love these types of videos bc I am a little heavier so I love seeing how confident Kristen is! Thank you so much!
Yay! I love this video! Thank you Kristen!
It can be so hard to find a professional, involved shop assistant. Especially for something as delicate as bar fitting.
I've noticed a lot that these days that clothing businesses don't want big girl business. The most embarrassing thing isn't that I have to buy bigger sizes now (Australian 18-22 depending on the company) but that they're always a restricted range, right up the back of the store and the shop assistants never seem to know what they do or don't have in those sizes. The worst I'd experienced happened recently where a store with two entrances moved all girl 20+ clothing (which they have a separate name for) to the back entrance of the store right next to the super skinny female exercise clothing and diet bars. Literally you could not even get to the clothing without seeing size 6 & 8 workout outfits and weightloss bars. (sigh)
I hate bras I can't wait till the future where we use some kind of button that's creates a force field tailored to your comfort
Question: How many bras should a girl have to be normal, and second how long should a girl wear a bra before she should change it? I never asked my mom this and now it's been years since I've started wearing bras, and it's a little too late to ask her now.
I've been wondering the same thing for like 8 million years
Lenny The Hopeless Mainly girls have up to 9 bras but only wear around 6 (I saw this fact recently) the length period of wearing a bra is similar to a shirt, you can change every day or even every week (shh, no one knows...) just as long as you was them and keep them in good condition! you can have as many bras as you like honestly, i like to sort out my bras in sections, sexy bras, comfy bras, sports bras... etc!
Lenny The Hopeless I own 1 bra. It doesn't get washed often.
you-are-the-pelican-man you should wear a different bra everyday and wash it weekly...
Lenny The Hopeless i wear a different bra everyday and wash in between wearing them.. it's like underwear. would you wear underwear for a week? yuck!
32DDD is literally the hardest bra to find since I am pretty small, I just have huge boobs, which is uncommon!
Aww I understand. I tried a very trustworthy bra size calculator and I got 30DD! It's actually not that big a size, but I've never seen one, or anything close, in stores. It's hard to even find sizes under 34". I wish you the best of luck!
lola del lay Try Nordstrom, they might be able to help. Otherwise, try specialised stores or the stores that get them tailored (most of them are surprisingly cheap). I'm a 36DDDD or a 36E according to Nordstrom (over a year ago) but the bra I tried was actually too large around. They had the size, they just slightly messed up and since I didn't tell them anything...
I'm a 28F. They don't even sell those at Nordstrom or other shops with typically wide ranges. It is even hard to find online and they are way to pricey. So I usually go for a 30 DD If I can find it but even those are expensive and hard to find.
lola del lay Bravissimo (smallest cup size starts at D), they're a bit expensive because of the exchange rate (they're a british franchise) also check out their sister franchise Pepperberry they make clothes for busty women.
You simply need to go online. Getting a small band with an H or I cup isn't possible in stores.
Whenever I've had a bra fitted, it's been really comfortable - I don't know if this is a UK thing or just the place I go to, but they don't measure over clothes or your current bra, and they're really professional about it. I don't know, it's probably not what everyone feels comfortable doing, but it works for me.
Amen! Love it! Finally! An honest take on bra size & getting fitted! Kristin nailed it w/ this one! I've had similar experiences. I went to one very high end lingerie store that advertised "we have trained specialists to FIT you!" The woman looked at me in the fitting room, wrapped a tape around my chest (bra on only), & said, "You're between a (blank) size & a (blank) size." The bras at this place started at $60 & went up from there, & she couldn't give me an accurate size. The only bras they sold were their own brand, none of which fit me very well.
“For starters, Obama is president now” 😭😭😭😭😭
The idea of going into different stores and having to physically take off and put back on a bra sounds exhausting. I'll just stick the same bra I've have for the last 5 years of my life.
She like...needs her own series!!!
I totally agree. I once walked into a Victoria Secret with a friend of mine(in high school) and the woman came up to me and told me "I'm sorry but we don't have anything in your size." based only by looking at me. She may or may not have been right since I know the now Victoria Secret has Bra's in my size, but it's gonna cost me around $50+ to get one. The second time I went to one of their stores a woman asked me what size I was wear told me i was wrong measured me then told me my actual size. As soon as I had the bra on I knew she was right. Some employs have no clue what they are doing and some do, keep that in mind.
wow ok interesting..
Bras are confusing.😰
Appearantly so is sarcasm to you
touchdalight lol i love u
STOP COMMENTING TO GET MORE FOLLOWERS HOLY GOSH
Lol because he has a channel doesn't mean that he can't comment anymore
AMEN TO THIS!!!! I am a larger busy girl and when I went to a store to get my bra size measured they told me I was a triple D. WRONG. I feel most comfortable and look the best in a JJ!! I never would have known this without trial and error, and most of all, not taking it at someone else's word! Listen to your body and how you feel! Love this video!!
These hate comments are really blowing me. If I saw y'all in public, I would probably SLOCK you. Real shit..
I don't understand the people standing up against people making fun of her weight cuz i havent seem any comments insulting her body......
Getting fitted at Victoria's Secret is so nice. The fitter is so gentle and sweet and they give you a whole bunch of options to try. I mean her experience wasn't to good but when I go with my friends they always get the size right and the are so comfortable.:))))
It is 100% true that there is no common bra size since sizes vary so much between stores. At Victoria's Secret, I'm a 34DD but for one of my favorite underwear companies called xhiliration, I'm a 36D but both bras fit me absolutely perfectly and are comfortable. I even own a well-fitting 36C from Target because that companies' sizes probably run larger. I tend to stick with buying bras from VS though because most other stores don't have DDs or Ds that are as pretty where VS has the same designs in every bra size like it should be.
Atqiya Syed - JC Penney’s carries DDD and so do the bigger bra shops like Lane Bryant, Dillard’s and Nordstrom’s - other than that, you need to shop online at those specific retail sites and others in the internet
"You could stop at five or six stores, or just one."
E A honey, you got a big storm coming
“ I want to buy a bra cause it’s the right size. Not because I slowly broke its spirit “
😂
she has some damn good story telling skills
I've never been to a video this early!
I'm so GLAD it was you trying on bras! I was told I was a 38F but after a few bras that were hit or miss, the 40DDD fit me perfectly.
+Laura Johnson a 40DDD is just a sister size of 38F so I don't think they're completely wrong, just for some reason the sister size fits you better.
exactly, in fact in my country there are no such A, B,C,D cup, there's just size 32,34,36 n so on. #braproblem
+kishori tandukar Oh no :O That much be awful for anyone who's more curvy or less curvy :S
yes :(
1:46 that's a really nice picture of her
Yay! I love the videos that she speaks in. She has such good presentation.
Nordstrom bras are probably different to normal bras
Nordstrom have her a 42D or something like that when the rest said roughly 38 that's 2 sizes up?
Jasmine Nelson But Nordstrom also was the only one that properly fit, so they're probably the only ones who got the size right
***** Actually yeah it does. Nordstrom bras aren't exactly "different" than normal bras but thy do tend to carry more European brands. European bra sizing is a tad bit different than American sizing (and a HELL of a lot more universalized) so in a way they're kinda right
Nordstrom is awesome. Other places told me I was a 34DDD. But I felt like I was dying in them. They ended up sizing me with a 36HH, and the bras lasted 4 years. The straps were pretty thick, but it made the stay fit for longer. Also, they were like belts. You could tighten the straps infinitely. 10/10.
How much are Nordstrom bras on average? That belt system sounds amaaaaazing
i feel like the struggle of finding a bra that fits unites us so much 😂
This girl is my favorite. I love when she's featured in buzzfeed's videos.
I just aspire to be able to afford to buy that many bras in a short period of time.
If I had boobs I would not wear a bra, it seems like every girl doesn't want to wear one but are forced to because of Society
Not even with larger boobs, but with any size. Literally I'm a C, not big at all. I love bras, they are really comfy!

I wear a bra when I want to and sometimes when I go out to certain places. I have big boobs so sometimes I will wear one when it starts to hurt, usually if I am doing a lot of walking, running, and exercise sort of deal. If I am also trying to dress nicely I will wear a bra because 'stylish clothes' because having my boobs more held up looks better and you can sometimes see my boobs or nips in certain clothing. Then it is mainly a 'I want to look nice" sort of deal.
When I am at home or going to the grocery store I usually skip the bras because it feels more comfortable. I cannot sleep in a bra so I never wear one to sleep. It just depends.
I am one who is mad that bras are somewhat a society forced thing and not wearing one in public is taboo. When I was very sore and ill I had to continue going to school and wearing a bra was extremely painful and made me feel worse but I had to.
IF I DONT WEAR A BRA THEY WILL JIGGLE MORE THAN USUAL AND HANG LOW! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE PAIN
Swag Fab
Yes but they are boobs....that is what they are naturally supposed to do..... I am pretty sure unless you have small boobs that is what anyones will do without a bra
I need my bra because it really hurts my back otherwise, it's different for everyone, normally people with smaller don't need a bra as much as people with bigger breasts
The way you measure what cup size you are is different for every brand or store. I know that sometimes you measure the plumpest point of your chest and then you measure around where your bra straps end at the top of the actual padding. But most times, you DO measure the plumpest point as well as measuring UNDER the actual bust area to get your exact cup size.
I know the number's 10, but I still don't know whether I'm a C or a D. It's really depending on the bra what fits better. But my mum has a habit of buying cheap bras, these are always 10D, since this is what I usually get. But most of the time they're too big, but when I go with her to buy them, the C's are too small. It's really confusing, and no asking someone at the store has never helped me, my mum's experience with bras has always worked out better. My mum over estimates sometimes, but if the person working there hasn't done it too, they've underestimated by a lot. It could be a lot worse though, while I'm certainly not flat chested, they're at a size where there's plenty of options no matter what store I'm in (though it'd be better if I was an A or B, or a more solid C, since they have an insane mount of abundance everywhere).
Busty women do have terrible trouble with bra shopping. I've never met one who has ever walked in, brought a bra, and left happy. If they've found their size at all, it was likely over $100. The deals in stores focuses on smaller sizes which sometimes I can take advantage of, but mostly not, since it is the really small sizes that get those god damn sales. While I'm practically a D, it's completely true that I have around the smallest boobs out of the people I know. So I really don't understand those sales.
In regards to shitty help by the people working there, my friend's mother has gigantic boobs, and she probably has the best example of it happening that I've heard. All I've gone though is people not knowing whether I'm a 10C or a 10D, ditto with my sister, and with my mother it's the same story except with much larger sizes. But this women walked in to a store to find a new bra, and when she had difficulties asked for some assistance. They told her she was a C cup. That's how small mine are, I don't think this women has looked down and seen her feet in 20 years, they're huge, she's not a C. Even so, being polite she tried on the bra they gave her. It literally only fit one breast, screw being too tight, it didn't even cover the both of them. So she went out and showed them, before picking up a bra five sizes larger, put it on, found it to be a perfect fit and showed them how a bra is supposed to look on someone. She then brought that one and left. I don't think she's going to return to that store anytime soon.
+meowool yeah, I'm the opposite. I hate wearing balcony bras because there's too much on top. Tshirt bras are most comfortable for me. Meanwhile, my best friend only wears balcony bras because they fit her best.
I just buy ones with no wiring or padding that come in S, M + L; they tend to fit fine and are v comfortable. The perks of being practically flat chested, amirite laydeez?
Yep. Those are great.
i love that she is so comfortable in her body. That's really inspiring. She is gorgeous and hilarious!
At the Obama part I died

Ugh, Never will un-see this.
Its called clickbait
she needs to be in more buzzfeed videos. i love kristin
I went to Victoria secret to get a new bra (cause that's where I've been going since I bumped up to a D). Well Victoria secret runs small and I was trying on my old bra sizes (far too small) and the fitter basically sold me a bra that I hated but I was feeling really down and embarrassed cause I had just tried on like seven bras so I didn't want to ask for a new size so I bought the bra that gave me four boobs. I returned that later and decided I would never buy a bra from Victoria secret again because they don't fit me and the bra "experts" are too pushy. I went to a boutique instead where they range from 28A-40K so they were bound to have my size. The lady asked my current bra size (34DD) and immediately said by looking at me that was too small. Measured me with tape and told me my new size (34DDD). The Victoria secret bra was $63 and made me feel horrible. This bra was $40 and made me feel sexy because a) it fit and b) it was pretty and lacy (practically impossible to find for a big bra)
When she said "Obama is president now" 😢
Ha not anymore
This is one of my favourite buzzfeed videos lol. Her personality is awesome. Bra shopping can be very defeating :(
I love how she words things lol
"Not because I slowly broke its spirit"... XD
OMGosh, finally, someone that's truly honest about bra fitting & shopping with an average body shape. TY. TY. TY. ; )
this is why i get different sizes
i never know what my actual size is>.>
