Hi ladies,
For at least 10 years I have reveled in the comfort of some lovely 18C lacy underwire bras. Some by such wonderful upscale brands like Simone Perele and Wacoal. Fayrefrom Corals from down here in OZ are an old favorite too. (I have six of 'em...)
But in the last four months, something peculiar has occured.
I've dropped 2kgs/5lbs in overall weight, but had to go up two band sizes and go wire free with my bras, cos my 18C's are too small and the wires dig into under my arm. Plus, even with a 22 band, I feel some bruising in my rib cage. Did I lose the weight across my chest??
Many of the 18C hold special memories. Makeovers, dinners out, en femme bra fittings. etc and now I cant wear them.
I also have some lovely Arianne bralettes that will have to go
The only saving graces are a/. I'll have another bra fitting, (sadly in drab) and b/. the fact that most of the 18C's are going to a women's refuge
As my dear old Dad used to say
"Oh woe is me". (Especially when I look in my half empty bra drawer)
Anyone had the same experience??

PS I know many of us like and wear Playtex bras. I've end up with one of them and have never disliked a bra more in my whole CD life.
Oh no! I can't talk about that experience, but also have a larger band requirement. I find city chic bras super amazing, sexy and at a reasonable price (generally buy one, get one half price).
Think about the future fun of finding your new favourite and new experience with it .
Interesting problem Caty. Unless you starting doing upper body workouts I can't imagine why chest would get bigger and weight go down. I'd be curious enough about that to have a physical if you haven't had one recently. Just looking out for my friend. Now that being said, you have a great opportunity to refresh your bra drawer so really go for it girl! A bra fitting is so much fun even in drab and its wonderful to get to try on lots of sexy bras. When I went for my fitting I was in drab but they had a sheer top I could put on to see how the bras looked under clothing and that was great fun.
I recently experienced the same and had to move from and 18 up to size 20. I only wear bras from the chain stores.
