I just thought I would share an interesting tidbit of information with you ladies in regards to bra sizing and Victoria's Secret.
I have a very good friend who is naturally endowed with big, beautiful breasts. She, unfortunately, is one of the young ladies who suffers from back pain due to bad posture and insecurity in terms of her weight as a result. She went to get sized at Victoria's Secret, and they told her she was a 34DD, which happens to be the biggest size that they carry.
Well, she took their word for it and went about her daily life toting around her gigantic tatas in her 34DD bra, which left gaps beneath her boobs around the band, gaps in the straps, and left her boobs sagging and giving a sort of "sports bra" appearance.
She couldn't take it any longer, so she decided to get sized by somewhere a little more professional, because let's face it, as cute as Victoria's Secret is, they are trying to sell you their cute little bras that their cute little models strut around (sorry, I am NOT happy with that company right now). So, we went to Dillards where they have to go through an intensive bra-measuring course before working in the lingerie section.
WELL WELL WELL....it turns out that my beautiful friend suffered from back pain, incessant boob sweat, insecurity, and weight issues because Victoria's Secret told her she was THREE sizes smaller than she actually was just to get her to buy one of their bras. My friend's true size is a 32H. I am absolutely astonished that Victoria's Secret would even tell her she was a 34DD just to make a sale when she clearly needed a LOT more than that.
Dillards was incredibly helpful, kind, and patient with us. She helped us look for bras for about an hour until my friend was happy (32H's are very difficult to find, to say the least).
Now, my friend stands up straight with confidence and beautiful smile, because her bra actually supports her in the way that she needs it to!
I just thought I would share this story with y'all, so when you go to get measured, you go to a professional and not to a sales person!!!!
