Bra sizing is total BS. I realized the conspiracy years ago and have been trying to educate others ever since. I've heard that it's based on post-war bras being a lot firmer and not having as much give as bras do now. What gets me is the juxtaposition of statements like "75% of women wear the wrong bra" and "The average bra size is a 36C" (or whatever), because most women wearing 36C probably aren't really that size. Whenever somebody gives their bra size as D or DD, my ears kind of prick up and I wait for my opening to say "really? or do you really need a smaller band & bigger cup?" Seems like a lot of people outgrow the cups in, say, 34DD and go up to 36DD instead of to what is probably the correct choice, 34E.
i gave up on it completely for many years. nowadays i wear sports bras. not only are they actually comfortable the racer back styling means my bra straps aren't constantly slipping down my sadly sloped shoulders.
