hya gurls,
              Just bought a new set of forms and I am having a time to find a bra to fit them.  One would have an easier time getting in to womans  washroom in a crowded mall, that to get in to a fitting room in a local Sears. On line shopping is ok but the trial and error is getting to me, as not one cup size does a bra make.  So a few tips and tricks wold help   thanx in advance

Usually I wear sports bras which make my chest look even smaller than A-cups. When I was in the US, I purchased only 34A bras.

perhaps i should add that I went from 42 C to about  48 DDD or F

Sounds like you need a specialist bra shop that is used to customers with individual requirements.  The women where I shop are great.

Well you might try a Victoria's Secrets store. They're fairly well known for not batting an eye at transgenders wishing to try on bras and a good clerk can probably size you at a glance.

I originally went the trial and error route with mail order, but I got it right by my third try. Luckily they were inexpensive bras. The self-sizing directions mail order dealers have vary absurdly from one to the other. In the end my actual size didn't match the measure-and-calculate process at all.

I had my measurements done at Victoria's Secret not to long ago. I was a 42B but unfortunately they stopped at a 38 in the stores and only go up to 40 on line. I was surprised to be a B cup, but it is still a difficult size to find.

Not as hard to find as you might think    I did a search for 42B Bra and got quite a few results including One Stop Plus and Bare Necessities among several other online shops

I went to a bra store nd asked to be measured with my 'falsies' they had no problems.  Now I'm ex-falsies and do the same. Ask to be measured.

It's money. They want yours. If they bat an eyelid leave, but I have not had any incident like that.

Just be polite and dress in a feminine manner and expect to be treated like any other woman would expect to be treated. Attitude and confidence is everything.

People see what they expect to see. Shop assistants don't want to see you are a man in a dress, they expect to see a woman, so just present as one and they will accept.

Happy Shopping!

You know what they say... If the bra fits, wear it 

I had a bra fitting at VS awhile back also, I was nervous as they get    But the trial and error thing was really bugging me plus a neighbor lady kept randomly leaving bras from the thrift store at my door    Luckily she moved away

Anyway, the sales girls were very nice and more than happy to help...  But I ended up spending a bit more than I wanted to

Thanx for all the help gurls, I have since found a good fit and have a call into a bra store for a fitting. Im waiting to see if the store is cd friendly.  I have found that Elome and Goddess cups seem to fit a little larger.  The long term goal is to get back to a 42 , cause that means NEW CLOTHES

In my experience as long as you don't present as a sleazy looking guy, woman's clothes shop assistants will give you no grief what so ever. I do ask in the smaller places if I can try something on, they have always said fine. Very often the assistant will wander in to the dressing room area and ask if anyone needs a larger or smaller size, so that you don't have to get re-dressed and make another trip around the store.
