Bra Fitting Update

So, I visited Aerie today for a bra measurement and fitting. I have to say that I'm awfully confused with measuring boobs. *sigh* I have always been a 32A-34A. According to some online generators and some methods of measurement, my current stats would equate to a 32B-32C. However, when I was measured at Aerie today, I was told that I'm still pretty much an A cup. :/

I know it's just a letter, but I was hoping that I'd finally and officially reached B cup status. It's one thing to measure myself as a B, and it's another to get measured by an outside source that can confirm that. I just wanted that confirmation, I guess... ^^; Maybe I measured myself wrong somehow?

I did try on tons of 32B bras because my 34A bras are a little too snug at times, but I found the 32Bs to be a bit uncomfortable band-wise, so I think I'll aim for 34B bras from now on. The only problem with that is the cup size from 32B to 34B seems to expand a bit. -__-; So more NBE work for me, mehh.

Obviously I'm going to keep pursuing NBE because no matter what I measure as, I want my boobs to actually look a certain way. For instance, if I were a D cup but I had saggy boobs, I'd probably be dissatisfied despite having the larger bust size.

In the meantime, I bought a black 34A bra that I could wear regularly now, and a 34B bra that I sort of fit in, but I'd like to fill it up more on top! So it'll be in my collection of "bras I'd love to have cleavage in," lol.

What Tibetan said, for sure!

Also, many of those online bra calculators do not work for me either. For example, the one that iamsorpor posted above says that I should be a 32DDD, when I wear a 32B! Doesn't upset me, 'cause I know they don't know what the heck they are talking about! Bra calculators work differently for everyone. This one is the one that actually works best for me: http://www.herroom.com/bra-fitting-advice,901,30.html and judging by what measurements you posted and what you are saying, this bra calculator might more accurately present what size you actually wear, too. Also, here is a link to another part of this same website http://www.herroom.com/know-your-breasts/Questions.aspx?1 which takes your breast shape into account to suggest certain style(s) of bras. It seems like something that might be of help to you!

Good luck with your program!
