Did anyone see that Oprah show with the bra designer person? The whole sizing thing was explained. Cup sizes aren't standard at all. You get measured around the rib cage and that's the number. Then, you get measured around the fullest part of the breast - you take that number and subtract it from the first number. I can't remember what exactly it was but it was like a 1 inch difference is an A, a 2 inch difference is a B and so on.

Like I said, I don't remember exactly but they did say that some crazy number of women (like 90%) are wearing the wrong bra size - and most bra fitters really have no idea what they're doing.

I'm a full-figured gal and I've found that Lane Bryant has excellent underwire bras that restrain me quite well!! I get the lightly padded ones to achieve that nice smooth look.
