Hey!
Question-how do I find out my cup size?? I have designers in the family but I wont be seeing them again for a while. I'm pretty sure I'm a bit over an A but I want to be exact.
Also-wheres a good place to get clothing for cheap-aside from marshalls, tj maxx, etc
Thanks!

OMG. There is no standard size. But the best place I have found is Brassiere measurement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassiere_measurement). No one can agree, but it depends on how the bra is designed.

There's a lot of confusion and stupidity (on the part of manufacturers) but here's the basic:
Measure just under your breasts, this is your band size. Then, measure the fullest part of your breast. If you're 1 inch bigger, it's an A cup, 2" is B, 3 is C, etc.
I know there's a lot of 'measurement plus 4 is your band, etc but that doesn't really work.
Good luck.
Oh, and if you need to buy something sight unseen (which is almost impossible with bras) I can tell you that vanity fair does fit me according to those measurements (usually LOL).

Forever 21 has cute 5 dollar bras.
And you bitch, 22 days and you're an A cup?

Thanks so much!
And yes, I was just in Forever21, thats actually where I think I'll buy em :)
And Brit, although my chest is incredibly painful & I've developed those knots due to HRT, I already had breast development pre-HRT (for whatever reason). I don't think they've grown all that much since starting-gotten firmer maybe, but thats all.

1 inch is an A cup? 2 is a B? is the measuring band supposed to be uncomfortably tight when you measure? because, if yes, i'm almost an A cup (which makes sense), if not, i'm almost a B cup (which doesn't make any sense at all). and according to the braless measurement on the wikipedia page (if i did that one right) i'm an A cup
