Interesting article Heather, thanks for posting it. The one thing I have noticed is with articles on bras is they always talk about the endowed women. What about us smaller girls? I have been on HRT over 8 years now and I can just fill an A cup! We face very different issues but we still want comfort, style, and yes a little lace. :oops: When is someone going to write an article for us smaller girls?

You are right Amanda about most articles about bras are aimed at the bustier lady however she probably has more issues with proper fit and comfort than us smaller ladies. Still a well fitting and comfortable bra is a girl's best friend while one that one fits badly or pinches and squeezes or migrates after a while is worse than a nagging mother in law. The author is correct that one should be fitted by a qualified and trained fitter, something one does not find in the big box stores.

The one other thing to keep in mind is not all bras are created equally. I have worn the same bra size for quite a few years but I have found that not all 36B's are not the same regardless of how they look in your hands. As they say the proof is in the pudding so regardless of it says it is your size, try it on! You will know in a few seconds if it is the one for you or should you keep looking.
