just one last question. how does one bra size with just rib measurements?

I hope im understandin ur question rite, but the cup isn't the rib measurments. there are a cup,b cups, c cups, and d cups for all rib size. just go to ur nearest Victoria secret and they will help u.

sounds good i will try and grow the guts to do that but i am lacking cash to use in this way due to living with the 'rents being in school and lacking a job so i would like to get online and I'm also really scared cause im still uncomfortable with my body as it is now and even though I'm getting the bra to feel better about myself and to look more feminine its still really hard. 

you could go to like jcpennys online or any department store if money's a big issue for you. victoria secrets is very expensive, could get much cheaper one basically anywhere else lol

she can do that, but how would she know wat size band she wears? I thought Victoria secret only did measuring.

Several places will do bra sizing and you can even figure your bra size on your own, it's actually much easier than one might think

Afaik victoria secret sitll uses the outdated sizing that only goes down to 32 or 34 band and up to DD cup... 80% of girls are wearing the wrong size. To find your band size you just take your underbust measurement, that's it, go up one if it's an odd number but... no adding inches except for curvier girls. The band should be pretty tight cuz it's supposed to help with support and keep the breast tissue from migrating. Cup size you can try to estimate but it's best to just try some on and check the fits. You can get properly sized at nordstrom and they offer a real range of sizes but their bras (Panache brand I think) are way overpriced... for yall who aren't sure where to find a proper size range or a good brand try http://www.bratabase.com

Sears is a good site.  You can order on line, thru catalogue or go into store.  There is always a sale. 

When on the site go to SEARCH bar.  Type in SIZING CHART.  Select womens.  They have instructions on how to measure and which measurement to use for the article of clothing your selecting.  They even have size charts for some of the brands they carry so your better assured of a good fit.

I agree about not wasting your time/money on Victoria's Secret, especially not so early on. Call me ghetto but I did the old fashioned way..got some measuring tape when I started getting *actual* boobs, measured 30A (but it's impossible to find 30 band size soo I just stuck with 32s) went to Target and got some 32As. Those started getting too small, measured again, 32B (yayy!) went back to Target and got those.

I guess I've never understood the obsession with fancy underwear and such. The only time anyone actually sees it, it's generally coming right off, if we're being real. And sizing is a breeeze to do yourself. I say if you're early on, save your money for important stuff...doctors visits, hormones, clothes, makeup etc. Just my 2 cents.

Not really a great solution for Riley... Shipping to Canada is $21.95, then we have to look at duty and HST. You can do better than that at your local Pink store, for sure!

Wow, sorry to hear that. I didn't realize that she is from Canada! And that shipping is that high there.

Am happy to have helped, even though I was no help....  Oh, well. When it comes to bras, I haven't worn mine for a while now. I must start to wear them again, as the boobs are sagging. Old age!
