OMG - first post-op bra fitting!!!

Although I am only 3 weeks post-op, my lovely nurse said I could wear any bra and ditch the chest strap - but only for a few hours for the odd party occasion... off to London on Saturday to theatre, dinner, hotel for my best mate's 40th so this was good news!

So I popped into John Lewis and tried on a few bras that I thought would be about right 34C (and thought I would try my luck with a 34D!) - refused any help as I am shy about these things! I tried a few on and only one sort of fit ok, but as i was leaving the lovely assistant questioned me about my choice... "you definitely dont look a 34, you must be a 32" she was (thankfully) a little pushy (in a v nice way) and almost insisted on checking the fit.... so I agreed, she checked me and said I was def a 32, she took one look at me in this 34C and said you look more like a DD or even E!!!! OMG I thought! I cant be! But sure enough off she made me try on a 32DD and it fit perfectly! She also said I would probably end up an E as I have still to drop etc! I just couldnt believe it - I'm sure they dont look that big! I only had 310cc, and started out (what I know realise) was a 32A (and not a 34AA!)

So, for the first time in over 20 years of adulthood, I came out of a lingerie shop with a MASSIVE smile on my face
Sorry for the ramble I just had to share!

Wohoooo! Congratulations Hun!

So pleased for you hun :) Great feeling isnt it x

Fab story, Thank you for sharing. Can't wait for it to be my turn!

That sure brought a smile on my face. Thank god the assistant was a bit pushy. Will make sure I get measured properly now as I usually do it all myself too. Great news. XXX

Thanks everyone!
Fran - I LOVE your ticker tehehe! very apt given your location!

That is just brilliant :D

Wonderful!!.. i would love to be a E!! Also great news to hear that you can go out without the sports bra haha. x

congratulations xxx

Thats fab hun!! I'm like you been wearing 34a for years but was really a 32b, I'm only 30 and a half inches under boobs. Had to get a 34d sports bra since the op as no one seems to do a 32 for some reason so hoping when I go to get measured today might be a DD!

Hope you have a lovely time in London showing off your boobs! xx

You sound like me too! I had 325cc and started at 32a, I'm wearing a 34D just now 2 weeks post op but after I properly measured myself with a tape I'm measuring at 32DD!! Great eh lol x

Congratulations!! I can't wait to experience that feeling, especially when it comes to bikinis OMG!!!
