More Bra Woes
So I went back to Nordstrom today to try bras again.
I explained to a different saleswoman that the Chantelle bras were too small in the cup. I explained that the bra I was wearing was my absolute favorite and that I wanted something similar.
She brought me a couple of Fantasie bras in FF (basically F and a half) and in G. The FFs were ridiculously too small, I don't know why she even suggested them. The Gs were almost right, but still too small in the cup. She said that the bras I liked didn't come in GG (but looking online I see that they do, so maybe she meant Nordstrom doesn't carry them in a GG.)
I am wearing the new bra now. It's kind of scratchy. I will try washing it tomorrow and if it doesn't "break in" and become more comfortable and roomy in the cups I will just take it back as well. Maybe Nordstrom just can't help me :( I hate the idea of spending so much as I spent at Intimacy on one bra, but if I have to, I guess I have to.
Or I could order a 34GG from BGB and see if that fits me better. I just hate the idea of paying for return shipping on a bra that doesn't fit :( God big boobs suck so much.
Oh also while at Nordstrom I took my measurements: 45.5-36-49.
At Thanksgiving my stepmom's stepmom's sister was there. I hadn't seen her in a few months. It turns out that in that time, she has had breast cancer and a few weeks ago she had a full double mastectomy. Before that she had really really large breasts. They were huge. She also had very poor posture, back, foot, and leg problems. She had trouble with her balance.
Since her mastectomy, the difference in her is AMAZING. She just looks so much more comfortable. Her posture is better, she has more stamina and better balance. it makes me think that many of her problems were due to her boobs: you know, a back problem leads to a knee problem leads to a foot problem, etc. Seeing the change in her has made me want to lose weight more quickly so I can get my breast reduction sooner. I am really looking forward to having normal-sized boobs. I can't imagine what it will be like!
It's actually been so many years since I've been able to shop in straight sizes that it seems like foreign territory, you know? It's been about a decade since I could just walk into any store and find something that would fit me. I am almost there in pants. I don't think I will really get there in tops until I have a reduction, but I might try some shopping soon to see if I can find a cute dress in straight sizes that will fit me.
I also need to do a giant cleanout of my clothing collection. There are things that no longer fit me, things that just aren't my style anymore, etc. So they need to find other, better homes.
