So if I looked at Breakout Bras before, I would've done a quick search for sizes in the sidebar of the webpage, and said, "Oh, yep, still nothin' that would fit me." But looking at the instructions for getting the right size? Whoa! That makes a huge difference!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-25674490707388210802012-08-07T23:29:24.893-05:002012-08-07T23:29:24.893-05:00I love, love, love breakout Bras.

Just bought a great sport bra this week that looks like a regular bra and feels like wearing a soft, soft blanket. They have such choices and such great customer service.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264128797713405291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-38068732219611033942012-08-06T18:14:13.984-05:002012-08-06T18:14:13.984-05:00VS has always been great for me.

I just measure myself. I've never done the add five inches thing- I could never figure out where that advice came from. It's entirely illogical to say that your ribcage is 34 inches, so get a band that's 39 inches.Rachelhttp://papercrystals.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-56075107364958214042012-08-06T10:06:08.162-05:002012-08-06T10:06:08.162-05:00I agree with Katie; the specialty shops that carry...I agree with Katie; the specialty shops that carry lots of sizes and properly fit you are the best, and like her, I only have two. Expensive, yes. But SO worth it. Good quality, properly fitting bras and shoes are two things that I don't feel bad investing in.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182861834635420699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-76807697899996409592012-08-06T08:46:40.928-05:002012-08-06T08:46:40.928-05:00VS does do the add 5" thing.

But even if you measure yourself and go shopping at VS, I have not found their bras to be friendly to anyone but the perkiest, never-been-pregnant type of bustline. I think their fit-models (the people they used to model their sizing and fit on) must all be 17 years old.Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-40539270428373628112012-08-04T18:27:20.818-05:002012-08-04T18:27:20.818-05:00Katie, it sounds like maybe VS does the "add ...Katie, it sounds like maybe VS does the "add 5 inches" thing.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-56326629003852773182012-08-04T15:47:06.034-05:002012-08-04T15:47:06.034-05:00I have only ever gotten comfortable bras from loca...I have only ever gotten comfortable bras from local bra specialty shops that carry lots of sizes. It's way more expensive, but having only two bras that fit and keep the back pain away is worth more than 10 "regular" bras.<br />And I'm not talking about Victoria Secret, they lie about your size so you fit into bras they sell. At 8 months pregnant my band size measured smaller than what VS told me 4 years and 20lbs previously.Katsukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207909811116509797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-22386787522941069642012-08-04T14:48:36.770-05:002012-08-04T14:48:36.770-05:00I feel your pain.
