Default It’s like buying jeans...

I’ve been miserable! Ready to burn my bra! Oh...I think I missed that movement! Nordstrom in NJ! Oprah had a show some time ago all about that. If you have an idea what your size is to begin with, go from there, because different brands all fit differently regardless of their size. Google bra fitting guidelines. I know ‘em all. Bring a good friend to be your runner. After all! That’s what the sales person would do. I went to Soma, and the young lady there was helpful, but all she did was measure me, and I still had to try a billion bras anyway. I’m not crazy about their bras, anyway. The ladies with tape measures are long gone, and the department stores are so short staffed rhat you’ll be lucky if you find one. Find a ‘high end’ department store... typically you get personal attention... splurge on a high-end bra. After all, just like purchasing a good mattress for optimum comfort, if you have to wear a bra for for at least 10 hours of the day, comfort is the key. Softer fabrics; etc make a world of difference in addition to fit. I find it a frustrating task, and I’m still looking. It’s the first thing that comes off at the end of the day, but not by my hubby!! It’s as frustrating as buying jeans...you can try on a dozen pairs of the same jeans; and they all fit differently until you find the one pair that’s perfect... and then buy more than one pair, until you lose or gain weight, then you’ll be back to square one. I know all the hints and tips, but comfort is still hard to find. Good luck! If you find someone to help, along with a wide variety of styles, let me know! The saying goes, “a good man is hard to find.” I have the good man...but the bra search continues...
