Have you ever been sized for a bra properly?

I have a couple times. The first time was when I was pregnant so that was dumb and second was like 5 months pp.

A couple days ago I just got sized and I was surprised!!!! I've been wearing a 34 A for two yrs( because I thought it fit not from previous fittings) and come to fine out I'm a 32 B.

May sound dumb but bra sizes confuse me. I know cup size and then inches around. But my boobs have gotten smaller so why are they a B now and not an A?

Hope this makes since.

Have u ever.been sized at VS or anywhere else?

I don't get bra sizes either. I used to think they were easy, and then I talked to someone who knew what they were talking about, lol.

I was 'properly' sized at Victoria's Secret, but the girl had no clue what she was talking about. I've heard Nordstrom is a great place to be sized.

Lane Bryant sized me and took me up 2 sizes around and down a cup size. Amazing how much better a good bra with the right fit can make you have boobs again.

What exactly do they do? I need to but I feel kinda embarrassed about it, I shouldn't but Im just kinda self conscious since I've been sick and losing weight, my boobs are sagging and just look bad :-\ but my bra is too big and I need it to fit even if temporary.

I have been sized but its odd because what they come out with and what I come out with when I do it the official way, is WRONG. If I put on a bra that big the cups would be huge. I meausure a DD but I dont care how big around the bra ws, the cup would be huge. I am LUCKY to fill a C but for some reason the inch difference between under my breasts and around them is a big difference but they are still small?

i have always been told that there is some wiggle room with sizes. a 32 B and a 34 A are pretty much the same. i'm no bra sizing professional, though. 

i've been sized. it was a little embarrassing. my boobs ran away after i stopped breastfeeding. *pouts*
