So I promised pictures in the update:Here you go. This is the kind of bullshit that makes it so hard to find a well fitting bra. This model clearly is not wearing the right size

• The band size is too big; it's riding up her back
• The cup size is too small. If she pulled her band down and pulled the straps back properly (rather than having her breasts spilling forward) then she would have the double-boob deal going on BIG time. I figure it's at least 2 sizes small
  

But models never wear the right size, because the proper fit often doesn't look as sexy. Models usually have their pectoral muscles flexed- not how you normally walk around, and what's more, they normally have their cups tilted forward rather than fitted properly against their chest because that gives more cleavage.
I tried on one bra tat fit me perfectly. I filled out the cup, I didn't have any spillage, it was perfectly tight on the loosest setting. Then I looked at the picture on the bra hanger. It pretty much looked just like the picture above- which I didn't look like at all. I thought about going back down a cup size before I realized all these stupid tricks that they do with models so that you think a bra should look one way when it actually isn't designed that way at all.

It's like the high-schooler stores (A&F, Hollister, AE, etc...) that pin the backs of the shirts and jackets on their mannequins. It's so stupid. Don't they think people will put the clothes on and see right away that that's not actually how the shirt is made (like with normal size shoulders but an absurdly narrow waist)? No one is gonna wear the clothes that way.

I always liked going in and untying the shirts.

P.S. I received a comment on my last post which linked to a bunch of GREAT articles and websites on finding the right fitting bra. It was even suggested that the right band size is actually the SAME as the underbust measurement! Gasp!
