That's it, I'm Done with Bra Ordering!!!!!

Once again, I was hopeful thinking, "maybe this one will fit and be that great bra I am searhing for" But all my excitement and expectation was quickly deflated once I tried it on. I measured very carefully, checked several charts, not just QVC's and ordered a 34C which all the charts said I was. What a joke, this bra didn't cover half of my girls and there was a lot of side b..b and upper b..b hanging out. So this is it, no more shopping for bras from qvc, hsn, or any other shopping channel. Have to go in to a high end department store or speciality bra shop and try on.

I find the same thing with Rhonda Shear Ahh bras, she says she wears the L, she is twice my brreast size and I take the 2X, ridiculous.

I know exactly what you mean ! I order everything online these days but cannot find the proper fit in a bra. I even order the brand names I'm familiar with, no good. Have to drag myself to the brick and mortar bra store ! Good luck ! Felinemom

I think ordering a bra online without trying it on is difficult. I just ordered a couple of bras from Victoria's Secret they came in S, M, etc, not number sizes. According to their chart I was a large, which I ordered. When I received it I tried it on, it was too tight, I didn't try the other one on. I returned them both. I plan to go to Macy's tomorrow and buy a bra the old fashion way, by trying it on!

Ordering bras online has been wonderful for me. I generally order the same brands -- mostly Wacoal, Rhonda Shearer, and Bali. From time to time when my time permits I will browse Macys, Nordstrom, or Bloomingdale's and try a on a few styles to check out the fits on newer styles. This has worked well for me in getting the correct size when ordering online. As for Rhonda Shearer, her shop your top size theory works for me. I wear an XS top and her XS Ahhs fit me perfectly. My numerical bra size is 32C.

@gigy None of you are alone here! I finally ordered a Bali bra the other day. Haven't received it yet, but I bet it doesn't fit right.

I'm STILL wearing the one's I bought years ago from Breezies.

I bought lots of them. I've begged and begged for them to come back but it falls on deaf ears.

They are underwire and all cotton. No padding, just all cotton.

They fit me perfectly. As I sit here I have hanging on a hanger so many bras that don't fit it's stupid. I don't dare count them....it's way, way too many.

I know I need to donate them and I will soon. I'll bet those bras do not fit either.

I don't like padding, I don't need padding. I am wide (around a 42 but I wear a full C). That doesn't seem so hard does it? Well, those one's with the padding, if someone brushed up against me, my shirt would look like I'd lost a part of a boob because there's too much padding on the thing!

Why is it so hard to find a right size? Oh! Wait! We all just said that....didn't we!

I’m afraid to order a bra online. Even though I’ve been professionally measured for the correct size, I still find the sizes vary between brands. I usually go to Kohls and spend an hour or so trying on various brands until I find the right fit.

I had one bad experience and never again. Bras and shoes are the only thing I buy in a store to try them on first. I pretty much order online for everything else...and never have any trouble. But for those two, I have try them ahead of time. Worth it to me drag myself down to the mall.

@itsmagic

Me too, Kohls is great for bra-searching bc they carry so many name-brands. Take a dozen or so into the dressing room, keep trying on until I get it right. THEN I can go on-line and look for the best price of the one that fits if I want more (unless the in-store sale price is too good to pass up). Same with jeans and shoes.
