Yesterday after I dropped the boys off at school I stop by JC Penney to do a little shopping. I needed to buy some new sports bras. While looking the lingerie section I was asked if I needed some help.
“May I help you?” – Older saleslady
“Um, well…I am looking for some new sports bras.” – Me
“What size do you wear.” – Older saleslady
“36 A.” – Me
“You don’t look like a 36 A.” – Older saleslady
“I don’t?” – Me
Before I could argue with the lady about how I have always been a 36 A she grabbed her measuring tape and wrapped in around my body. First she measured me just below my breasts and then around the top of them.
“See. Just what I thought. You are a 34 B. Maybe even a C if you go with a underwire.” – Older saleslady
“What? Oh no. That can’t be right. I have always been a 36 A.” – Me
“Well, not anymore.” – Older saleslady
The saleslady grabbed a few styles of sports bras in 34 B and C cups. She told me to go to the dressing room and try them on. I walked to the dressing room feeling very pessimistic about the bra fitting results. First I tried on the 34 B. Too small. My mouth fell open wide as I could not believe my eyes. Next I tried on a 34 C underwire and it was a perfect fit.
As I looked n the mirror I could not get over what I saw. A bra that fit with no gaps and lifting my saggy breast high. It was amazing. A huge smile came over my face. I did a few poses showing off my new ‘busty’ figure. After trying on a few more bras I put my old bra on and got dressed. I walked out from the dressing room and was greeted by the saleslady.
“Well?” – Older saleslady
“They fit. The 34 C fits.” - Me (huge silly grin)
“See I told you.”- Older saleslady
I went down a band size and up a cup size. I felt like dancing in the isles. For my men readers here is how I can relate to you how happy I felt. Imagine you are getting ready to have sex with your wife and she goes to get a condom. As she places the condom on your maleness she says to you, “It doesn’t fit. It’s too small and it’s not long enough.” Imagine how fabulous you would feel when she tells you, “You need a bigger size condom.” Well, that is how I felt hearing I’m a bigger cup size. Pretty stinking happy.
After looking around for a bit longer I picked out two sports bras and headed over the sexy lingerie section. The selection of sexy bras for my new size was three times larger than I have ever seen before bra shopping. My smile got even bigger.
A bigger bra size may not mean much to you, but to me it’s a little bit of good news.
joy to you
touche — when you’re a DD we can talk.. haaa
DD? Please those honkers must get in the way.
That’s worth a celebratory evening out… I wish something like that would happen to me. Sigh, so envious.
Time for a trip to the lingerie department for a new fitting. It could happen to you too.
I’m afraid they’ll tell me I’ve shrunk!
Thanks for the translation.
Pretty good huh?
Hehehe!!
I went from 36a to 36d from breastfeeding! It’s glorious. I have stretch marks, but my hubby is the only one who sees them, and let’s just say he never complains.
36 D. Wow! I think I will make that my new career goal.
CONGRATULATIONS!! lol I had the exact same experience last year.. I was like “No Way I haven’t been a ‘C’ cup since high school”.. (I had my first child the year after graduating.) But sure enough I danced in the change room too!! Hahah Who knew! Great post!
Notice how I didn’t mention how I’ve put on weight and everyone know extra weight always goes to the boobs? Who cares? A C is always better than an A when it comes to breast size.
I know lol, I had put on 4kgs after I quit smoking so I went on an exercise program lost the weight and went back to a B cup Hahaha Bugger!
Wish I could get such news. I’m a 32 A and that’s even too big. I really should still be wearing a training bra.
Lol! You are so fit you have no body fat. Be grateful for being so slim!
Can I get the name of that saleslady because I need a boost too
If I ever got past a 34B I’d most likely faint with joy!!
I suspect I am really a 34 B, but the bra says otherwise. Did a jig to celebrate!
Those are the best shopping trips!
Yes indeed. That and finding your normal pant size is too big!
Oh, yes! Those are really excellent shopping days!
That was the greatest explanation I’ve ever seen!
Good visualization!
