So I was desperate for a bra. I have been wearing a single nursing bra that is beat up for months and months...and also is way too big for me. I went to Victorias secret and they asked me my size. I said 36B cause my boobs are a lot smaller but my chest always feels too wide for bras. Nope! 32D!!!! What? I heart VS for making me feel beautiful...but seriously, the bras in that size fit amazing!

Pre baby 34A, pregnancy 36B, nursing newborn 34C. Now this? My boobs seem super small these days but kinda wide set so I have been struggling to fit in bras. This made all the difference. I feel like a new person and love the VS bra fitting specialists! I feel like a new person!

Anyone else all over the place on bra sizes?

Wow! I need to get fitted because I have no idea what size would fit. The nursing bra I was wearing for months seems too big but I think it may be more band size than anything. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised like you were. All I know is that I like my boobs now and I'm going to be sad when they deflate after I stop nursing. I've finally lost my baby weight but still have my nursing boobs and I feel sexier than I ever have in my flat-chested life. LOL.

That's a crazy difference. I just got some new bras, also. I thought since weaning almost 6mo ago, that the girls would go down a bit. NOPE! Still a 36D...I love the Incredible bra they have now! LOVE VS

Yeah my boobs are completely deflated even know I am still nursing. I for sure want a boob job when we are done having kids because I am not loving the "after" boobs at all. I also thought my issue with the old nursing bra was the band size.

But a D! Come on, didn't that do something for your ego?! Or am I still stuck in my adolescent years, when all of us A-cuppers coveted the more endowed girls?

I haven't bought a new bra since I was pg...

Of course it was an ego boost! Except that my boobs don't look like that at all if you saw me naked, haha. They look like post many children saggy boobs. My chest is really broad and my boobs are wide set so really the D cup just goes out wide enough to prevent arm pit spillage....which is why the band size is correspondingly small. It's like magic. Go get fitted people if you haven't! I am still on a high because I feel like I look better in shirts with the new non sagging bra....

Also, Victorias secret is having their bra sale so you can get fitted and get cheap bras. Do it! I want to start a get fitted revolution!

I dare you guys...I bet there will be some other size surprises!

Yeah, get fitted! I was wearing my 36 B cup bra (and it was baggy) when I walked into the store.

Oh wow! I need to go get fitted & restock my bra collection. My pregnant belly bent my underwire bras and I have yet to replace them. I have no idea what size I'm supposed to be in now. I just know that what I have isn't comfy!

Yep, went from a 34D pre pregnancy with DD to a 36DDD after the twins were born.

Awesome!!! I feel like I am going to be in a nursing bra forever, but I REALLY like my Bravado nursing bras! My boobs are so much more full/big now (but I don't like it) my boob job will be 10 years old in 2013---by the time I am done having kids I will have no choice but to get them done...and smaller!

I am to the point now where I change in and out of my nursing bra when I go to feed E because I hate mine so much.
