Not the salespeople's fault, though, except for the bad measuring.

Yeah, that is WAY off, lol That had to be frustrating!

I too have had some difficulties with my own sizing. A few years back I measured as 34B but was fitting perfectly into a 34D. *shrug* Just like all clothes, you really don't know for sure until you put it on. It's kind of like how I have a size 4, size 6, and size 8 jeans...all from Express. WTH?

I'm so with you on the not having unusual sizes thing. I always felt bad for women who were an odd size and we didn't have anything for them. I mean it would make sense that VS would have something, it was mind boggling that we didn't. Yes, there's more sizes online, but what a hassle!

It's not like VS had to carry the unusual sizes in EVERY BRA. Chances are, women with large busts are NOT looking for a push up bra, lol Just a good supportive bra. I never understood why they sucked at catering to that.

Random: Is it true that their Pink! collection bras don't come in a size larger than B?

Some of my bigger-boobed friends have said that.

LOL Just saw this. Not true. However, the stores are only supposed to hang Bs & and Cs (unless they were low on stock) in the display (for all bras, not just pink). The rest were in the drawers. I know at the store I worked at the Pink drawers were very hidden, so I can see how people think that.

I didn't move up to a B until about three years ago and that used to drive me crazy. I swear the VS I went to just didn't both to restock the few As they did put out...I'd always have to go on a treasure hunt to find my size.
