What a difference a bra makes...

Hi girls! So I went for my 6 week check up earlier this week and Mr Alvi is very happy, all healing well :-)

So I was in the Trafford centre the other day and decided to get measured in Victorias Secrets. The woman was lovely! Explained about my BA, she asked if I had been given the ok for wires and seemed pretty clued up. She fitted me in a 32DDD :-) didn't even know that size existed it must be unique to the store?? Haha anyway I was really pleased!! The fitting rooms were amazing they even had little t shirts in so you could try on over the bras to see what it looked like. Wow! What a difference a good bra makes!! I was soooo happy!! The lady advised me just to buy the one for now as my boobs will keep changing for a while. 

So to any ladies feeling fed up in the sports bras...be patient. You will be so surprised to see what a difference a good bra makes. I finally feel boobylicious now :-) hehehe xxxxx

DDD is a British E I think. I'm scandinavian and we use the D,DD,DDD&DDDD which is a bit more confusing than the British measure system  

I'm only 1 week postop but already looking forward to go shopping. 
I'm happy you are healing so well! 

Great post Hun, yes wired bras make ALL the diffrence. Victoria secrets is an American brand and us sizes differ slightly to uk sizes a 32 ddcd is the same as a uk 32E 

Good advise from her also re not buying too many so early post op. And asking if ok for the wires. Thumbs up! 

Fab news Hun! They look amazing in your avi :) I agree with isabell, I think it is an E. Maybe they use the American sizes as it's an American company? X

Your avi looks amazing Isabell :-)

Yeah I thought maybe an E in other shops, I was so excited to go an get a 'proper bra'. Haha. Sports bras are not flattering at all, but they are comfy!! xxx

Thanks ladies, yeah you would think they would use uk sizes here tho as not to confuse us haha xxx

oooh how exciting hun!! and it sounds like you had a really amazing fitting experience, that sounds great! think i might get measured at victoria's secret next time :)

yes i was going to say 32E too, and then reading the other girls's posts we must be pretty accurate :)

congrats on your size by the way xx

Thanks Blue. Yeah I was originally going to go to Bravissimo in liverpool but was in the Trafford centre so thought id give it a go and I was pleased! xx

That's a great size! Your avi looks great too. I am hoping to get measured tomorrow at bravissimo in Cambridge. I had a similar implant size to you and think I could be a similar bra size....

Hi missvmac, I love the Trafford centre. I went up there a few weeks ago and I loved Victoria secret. There staff are lovely. A girl came up to me and asked if I wanted h ictiria secret experience, saying she would measure me etc.... Without even thinking I said " oh it's not really worth it at moment, maybe in few months" she must've thought I was A fruit loop!!!!! I didn't get any bras, as I'm pre op at mo. save that for after. However I brought lots of things from "pink" gym stuff and lounging pants and lots of other stuff...... Love this store.
I heard on here they only size to a DD so I am so pleased you have posted on here as I can go in there father, I'm hoping to be DD,E.....  
I bet you are so pleased with your purchase, as I would be xx

Fab avi Hunni xx

Your Avi looks gorgeous and you measured a great size,  happy for you hun and glad you enjoyed your first proper fitting  xx

Thanks Ellie :-)

Haha bizzy that made me laugh, she probably did think you were a bit mental!! I've just checked the website and only goes up to DDD. Wonder why they stop there?! Seems strange for an underwear store!! Oh well maybe in a couple of weeks I will go to Bravissimo and see what size they say xxx

Great to hear you had a good experience at your bra fitting hun, i bet you felt amazing. My dept store bra fittings have been rubbish, so when I'm post op i'll definitely be going to VS! Super avi btw Xx

God knows why they stop there, you would think being an American chain they would go higher........ 
They have the most beautiful clothes. I didn't delve much into the bras.... Did buy beautiful pants though...... Fat lot of good eh?  My hubby said he has never seen so many. Knickers and bras.   I thought stick around babe, you will soon........

I know it does seem bizarre!! Hahaha yep think my oh thought he was in heaven surrounded by all the knickers and bras and the sexy models on the tv screens. As long as he buys me treats in there I don't mind :-) lol xx

Ah congrats :) agree your avi pic looks amazing :D xx

You look amazing babe and its so great to read that you're so happy after your fitting  

Wow!!! MissVmac, they look fabulous x

Ah thanks girls ❤️ xxx
