Places like Victoria Secret normally offer to measure you for free. Once you have that you can almost always go anywhere.

I know what size I am. this is not the issue.
the issue is that going into the local victoria secret-type chain and asking for my size in black yielded only two styles. Both of which were trying to get my nipple to be in line with my armpit.

I am still not 100% sure what my size is. I was measured at Victoria Secret and they tried to put me in a B cup, which was painful and embarrassing (there was a lot of "popping out") and now the C cups are going the same way.
I'd guess I'm somewhere in between a C and a D.

*sigh* no, mine is too common. there are never any left when shops have bra sales.

it depends on the band size... like a 36c has a similar cup size to a 34d. Not the same, but similar.

I have a 36C I bought the other night, but I pop out of that as well. I'm getting worried, because I really don't *want* to be a D cup, I think I might be in "bra denial". :(

I'm definitely in bra denial and need to up all my bras to Ds. I would be a LOT more motivated to go out and spend money on this if I thought anyone besides me might ever see them. BUT I HAVE HIT THE SIX-MONTH MARK, and I don't know if there's any turning back now.
Spinster city, here I come! (And in ill-fitting bras...)

At one point I had a 34E but it kind of shifted to 36DD which is more manageable but still a pain in the ass.

Its not that odd, but my chest is relatively small for a girl my size. 38B

i have an uncommon bra size, in that if i wear underwire bras (which i don't) i have to alter one side to make it smaller. there is no such thing as a bra that actually fits me. i just wear little girls training bras.

victoria's secret is useless at measuring. they told me I was a 36 C, then a 34 D.
I'm a 32 DD (ouch, hurts to admit that) and most of my shopping is done either at real (read: independent) lingerie shops staffed by old women, online, or at chains like Daffy's, that tend to have the odd sizes people don't think they are.

Ayep. It sucks. I spend more than I would like on styles that aren't exactly my first choice.

the wizard of bras.
marlowegirl is correct- specialty shops (non-chain) will likely be your best bet.

I am an uncommon size: my left boob is an A, and my right boob is an AA (which is smaller, not larger, than regular A). Usually I just wear thin sports bras and in the winter I rarely wear bras at all. Surprisingly, VS has exactly ONE style of "regular" bra that fits me perfectly and I own about 7 of those. My #1 favorite bra for small-breasted people like me is the American Apparel cross-back bra, of which I have a billion.
marlowegirl said, (56 days ago)
oh yes. the mismatch. that too: technically the left is DD, the right D. which means rounding up!
life sucks.

figleaves.com is genius. they have every bra size imaginable, in multiple lines.

@oimoi- I'm picky about my boobs, party because I kind of wish they weren't there. so I want to wear a bra I like.

Oh I love my boobs more than anyone else, really. Lately I've adopted a swingin 70s style in order to work the bralessness. In spite of - or perhaps because of - the trouble it gets me into.

I have bra denial in the opposite direction...I'm probably nearly A or some shit.
cause I appear to have grown into one, and I'm not used to not being able to find the styles I want in my size. I need to replace my bras for ones that fit and I don't know what to do!
