What I have noticed is that for my size 38 Playtex 18 Hour and Goddess Keira fit appropriately snug on the first hook. Glamorise Magic Lift doesn’t fit as snugly even on the second hook. Either their sizing is different or the elastic is weaker or both...

It's the same with all clothing. Each manufacturer cuts the fabrics different and measures slightly different.

Welcome to our world - it's the same with all female clothing.  You can be one size in one shop and up to 2 sizes up or down in another - I don't shop online for that reason!

Hi Donna, As others have said I think is an issue with all feminine clothing. As a man I used to wear 32" jeans, as a gal that translates to size 12/14. With skinny jeans I have to go upto a 14 with Everything else I wear 12s. Top wise I wear 14 as I need the extra length on the arms and body. Some sleeves are the right length others aren't. Female clothes are just less standard, for some reason, even in measurements that are in inches.

I bought a 38DD popup bra yesterday. My real size is 42B. But I can wear a 38DD with forms. I also found that this particular 38DD fits me as well without forms if I hook it it to the third or tightest hook setting. A fun discovery.

Hi Donna, Yes, it just happened .While out food shopping at Walmart I always take some time to go through sale racks on my way to check out. I found two really pretty beige lace trim bra's in my size for $5.00 each. I was not going to leave this bargain behind. Even the check out girl mentioned how pretty they were and could not believe price. On the drive home I was thinking about what tops would go nice with my new find. Sure enough much too small checked size tag again. cup placement was good, band size way too small. I am going to keep my new find just going to buy extenders. I will never get used to buying woman's clothes sooo confusing when it comes to sizing.

That’s why I try to stick with the brands I know that fits once a while I’ll try a new brand. I have recently brought some Amazon bras brand is Curve Muse that come in 2 and 3 bras per pack they are surprisingly comfortable, good support and reasonably cheap look great as well.  Other bras I love is Land Bryant, Playtex, Bali and Glamorise.  On all the bras is size 44 DDD or 44 F.  I know big boobs 😁 but it looks good on my body type.  Happy bra shopping.

I have not had any bra issues but jeans. I have one size 2 Jennifer Lawrence . They fit great. I am not a size two girl. I also have some size eights that I have to jump off the dresser to get into. Wish I was a two.

actually believe and total truth there. Suppose why stick with some brands but then again same brands are sometimes different too.

I have just discovered that I have dropped a pants size in my work uniform.  Now that the size has changed, everytime I step in front of my mirror, I have begun to see how baggy my other cloth es seem to be.

My problem with bras is that the bands almost always fit comfortably, but the cups vary a great deal.  I measure out to a full B, but most B's are too big, but some fit very well, and in Rago, I wear an A, which fits the most comfortable while giving very firm support.

It is just about maddening sometimes, and makes me glad the fitting rooms are opening again.
