Treat Yourself to This

So it's been almost two months or so since I stopped breastfeeding and I decided that I wanted to get fitted or measured for some bras. In the past the most I ever did was have someone in a store measure me with a measuring tape and tell me my size ...  I did this at Victoria's Secret and then at Motherhood Maternity or whatever that place is called. I didn't trust Victoria's Secret because they told me I was a B cup which I knew there was no way in hell I was. ANYWAY - my cousin Isabel brought me to this store in Manhattan called Town Shop that was absolutely amazing. You go into a fitting room and they look at the way your current bra fits you and its size, and from there they go out and bring back bras and literally put them on you and make sure that they fit correctly. I went in thinking they would tell me my current bra was fitting me perfectly and was the right size but nope. I was completely wearing the wrong size (I had been wearing a 32DD and I am not in a 30E or DD depending - or a a 28E if I am going strapless). It's amazing how differently the bras fit - I'm so happy! I was never before able to wear a strapless bra, and now I can.
So, go treat yourself to a bra fitting to make sure you are in the right size. I think I remember hearing a statistic that was something like 70% of women are in the wrong bra size. So even if you think you are wearing the right size, if you haven't been fit for bras go and do it, because I thought I was in the right size and I wasn't.
