Bra shopping: Dante's 10th circle of hell

[aceofkittens]

It has been a very long time since your trusted servant aceofkittens last went through the torment of bra shopping. (And I didn't even buy any back then!) At this point, I've achieved "Critical tits," in that all my bras are so old and worn out that I have to wear two pairs at once to get any sort of support.

Yesterday, I gritted my teeth and set out to buy some new bras. I figured I would call upon the licensed bra-ologists at certain key retail establishments and hopefully come out the other side of this fierce battle with at least one decent piece of boob-support.

Apparently, a memo has been issued that all bras must henceforth be hideously ugly as well as unspeakably expensive. Also, three different stores = three different bra measurements. My amazing telescoping boobs are working overtime.

So, the "department store" bra-shopping experiment was a total bust. Pun intended. Tonight, I will go to (c)Ross Dress For Less. The bras are just as ugly there, but at least they don't cost you your monthly salary.

OMG! I am so glad you shared this story. I am so having the same issues, and I was just thinking to myself that maybe I should break down and have myself measured since I never did that before. Someone lied to me and told me that after having a baby and breastfeeding you'll lose your boobs. LIARS!! I even buy expensive bras, but trying them on in the store for a couple of minutes doesn't constitute how they're gonna hold up for 12+ hours of wearing. Half my bras have me coming out the bottom, the other half have me coming out the top. I think it's time I hire someone to walk around behind me, with their arms around me, holding my boobs in place. That has to be a cheaper solutions than buying new bras!!

My invisible boyfriend (MIB) often volunteers for that job. ;)

But yeah... that coming out the top/the bottom thing is happening to me. I'm busting out all over! :P
