My girlfriend at work said to me last week...
"Go to Victoria Secret, they have "bigger" bras now!"
"Are they on hangers?"
"HUH?"
"Never mind."
Ok, so I look online since if I were to EVER buy one of their bras it would be online at E-Bay or something. I'm excited thinking that I'm going to get a cute bra and not one of those torture devices that pinch and shove wires where they shouldn't be shoved.
So at the site, it says, measure UNDER my breasts around the ribcage. Ok... done. I'm thinking, wow, not too bad, 40 1/2, so I can size up to a 41 and it's fine. Then it says to ADD 5.
WHAT? WHY?? *whining*
If it's an ODD number to round up one. *sigh* ok fine then. 46 it is.
Then you are to meaure around the largest part of your breasts for your cup size. (I'm pretty sure you are suppose to wear a bra, since without one, I would have been MUCH smaller.)
Done, 48 and a little.
I continue reading and it says to subtract THAT number from the BAND number and that's your bra size. Ummmmmm...
So I'm a 46B. ?????
Let me see. The tag on my GOOD bra says 42D and that's with very little room for overflow. Do Victoria Secret bras come LARGE or something? Not to mention that trying to FIND a 46B on their site is impossible, since their BIGGEST BAND size is a 40. I'm pretty sure they don't consider the fat UNDER the arms part of the breast. (don't look at me that way, I may be big, but I have no cleavage.)
Great.
So since I was depressed anyway, and The Man was all excited thinking I had incredibly LARGE breasts, I finished measuring. I'm pretty sure that the clothing manufacturing companies would have a hell of a time with my body.
So for all those punks out there that ask: A/S/L/M, here it is in black and pink: Old, yes, work, and 46, 51, 44. Woo hoo... sexy!
I'm going to WalMart to buy a 42D BOX bra. Maybe the lady in that department will throw in the little hanger so I feel better.

Do you need help with this? Penney's has good bras that are minus the wire torture and have nice wide straps. Want me to go with you?
Big, white, burly, old-ass'd JCPenny's "good bra's" is what she is referring to.
Grandma.
LOL!!!!
JcPenny's actually does sell bra's that are sexy and will fit AND they are on hangers. Be prepared to PAY for the privilage though.
