I have never brought bras before in US. I usually get it in India. Now I had to get it here I am really confused about the size. Back in India I used to get 32c. Now I am not sure if I have put on some weight, I tried out in shops n got 32D. Found good in the shop. But after wearing for a long time today seems like the under wire is hitting me under my breast on the ribs beneath. What should I do? Do I need to get a smaller size? Bigger size is again to poke me down I guess.
Answer
85% of women (girls too) are wearing the wrong size bras!
Best answer is not to buy them online, but get a fitting @ stores in your area. JCPenney, Sears, Macy's, Victoria Secret.
If boobs are peeking out, the cups too small, find a different cup, and not all 32Cs one size fits all.
There are style of bras, that just sits there like a suit of armor, but good fitting bras you don't even know they're there! They fits like a glove, lifts, & separates, and gives you fullness and your figure looks good, your dress looks better on you.
Like the other day, I put on one of my VS bras, SAME size, SAME STYLE, different color, and it was a bit too tight. It turned out, the fabric where they sewed the hook & eye, was longer than the other bra, so the length is 2" shorter - making my bra too tight!
You may have to spend a little bit more to find that perfect FIT. You just can't guess, specially buying online and paying for Paypal. I got screwed once, it took 3years for my credit, but I did all the legwork. I was also part of a class action lawsuit.
If you can't stick 2 fingers between your skin & your bra band, it is too tight!
My first bra fitting?

Alright well I'm 15 and I've never had a professional bra fitting. I feel like I'm not wearing the right size so I decided I want to get fitted. So I have a few questions and I'd feel really grateful if you answered them all.
1. Do you take off your bra during the fitting? (keep shirt on or off also?)
2.What would I do about my mom? I can't drive so she'd have to take me there.
3. Would I go to victorias secret or am I too young for that. What kind of bras would they give me since I'm not an adult?
4. Cost for fitting?
Thank you :)

1. Do you take off your bra during the fitting? (keep shirt on or off also?)
For a proper bra fitting, You should be topless. Don't worry they have seen 100's of pairs of boobs there isn't a type of boob out there they have not seen yet. That includes inverted nipples and 3rd nipples too.
2.What would I do about my mom? I can't drive so she'd have to take me there.
Your mom is a woman so she should know that at 15 you need a bra. If she is the one that is buying them for you and she isn't at least measuring you then how would she know your size. I'll do more about a proper measurement to get the right bra down at the bottom
You can use this as a Girls day out. Tell her you want to do something together and take her to s small lingerie store and get fitted together. You might also want to go on youtube.com and look up "How to look good naked" then say I wonder if we are wearing the right bra.
3. Would I go to Victoria's Secret or am I too young for that. What kind of bras would they give me since I'm not an adult?
This is how the fit people at Victoria Secrets. First they measure your bust and under the bust over you clothes and over your current bra. Then they calculate that to find a size and put in a booth alone and ask you to try it on. Well if you have never had the right bra how do you know it's right. It might look better it might look you might feel more comfortable. But you still might not be quite right proper bra fitter is in the booth with you they run their fingers along the band and the straps to make sure they aren't to tight. They don't have an issue looking at you topless no matter what size and shape your body is. Victoria Secrets and lot of Department stores are the same way. They would sell you what ever bra you want them to sell to you. If you want a push up you can buy it. These are clothing items, and they want their money.
4. Cost for fitting?
Free it should be free everywhere you go. each bra can be 30-150 bucks that is where they make their sweet sweet cash. Plus the panties can be 20-100 as well. it is recommended to buy more panties then bra as bra can last up to 3 years if your the same size wear the underwear doesn't last as long.
Why don't you measure yourself and see if your waring the right bra to beginning with.
Fullest part of the Bust inches - Under the bust in inches = your cup size in inches
36inch - 30 inches = 6 inches
Under the bust = your band size. So if you it's 30 then your band size is 30. If it's an odd number like 29 then you have to go up to the next even number to ge the band size. But you should still do the equation like above with the odd number; ie 36inch - 29inch = 7inches
Each cup size is a one inch higher than the next except for aa which is only on half inch smaller than a A cup. AAA is nothing but a bra made for women that are really small so they feel more normal by having a bra.
