Bras should be able to return with free shipping.  All bras fit differently with each designer.  I have not purchsed bras for that reason.  In other clothing you mostly know what size you are.

Bras are no different from jeans or bathing suits which also all fit differently.  Actually, all my bras, from different lines, are the same size.   I see no reason why bras should be different.

@TerBoop Bras are clothing just like anything else. No special treatment.  Solution for you: Don't buy them from the Q!

Bras, and bra sizing, can vary tremendously.

 

Years ago, I used to buy only Bali bras.  Good quality, accurate sizing.  At some point, they skimped on the straps and underwire padding, and I moved on.  

 

Then, years later, I tried to get a Bali bra and the SIZE varied from style to style!  They were NOT uniform sizing within one manufacturer.  How is this possible?

 

So ...  I thought I'd try a Breezies bra and watched a couple shows.  One vendor person said for measuring to measure and then add five inches, and that's your size.  

 

ADD FIVE INCHES ????   Why would we have to add anything?   

 

Maybe we're shopping with different manufacturers, but here's a clue:

 

We see many times the statistic that 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra.  Eighty percent?  HOW is that possible? 

 

Women are accustomed to the trial and error of sizing in fitting rooms, so we understand the process.  Five pair of size 14 slacks won't fit the same ... trial and error, until you find the right fit. 

 

If EIGHTY percent of women are getting it wrong with bras .... then something is wrong with the bra sizing.

 

Actually, I'm surprised that TWENTY PERCENT of women manage to get it right.

 

Okay, I'm getting off my soap box now. 

 

Rant over.

My cup size is the same with all brands and my rib cage is the same.  I wear the same size in different brands.

Re: Bras on QVC

[ Edited ]

Whether or not "intimate wear" CAN be returned is determined by STATE LAW...    It's NOT the Q's choice.

 

Yeah...they "could take it back" but may have to eat the loss...

I bought bras from a frequent television advertiser, the darned things were very pricey, and they told me to measure then go up one size. I did that but they were too big and rode up when I was wearing them-they were fine when I tried them on but failed the daily wearability test! I got them ready to return and emailed the company only to be told that if the tag was not still 'factory attached' that I could not return it. I do understand that but I was nnot about to wear them for the day with tags attached. I will not be buying Honey Love bras in the future...and I had called them before ordering to ask about sizing.

@TerBoop   when you go to a brick and mortar store and  try on bras - the ones you don't buy are returned to the merchandise bays or drawers .  What is the difference?

@TerBoop   why should they be free shipping to return?

I'd like to know what brands of bras people do buy. I've tried so many but none really fit right - even after being measured by a so-called expert.
