    Thank you for explaining the whole "sister sizing" thing. I always see articles where they say to add/subtract. This explains why they don't always fit me too well. Also, I can watch you instruct/talk on anything for hours! You have such a pleasant, calming voice!💖

      It is nice knowing the sister sizes whenever you find a brand that you like but you need a slightly different fit to what your true size would normally be, like if the cups are slightly too small

    Thank you, I’ve been trying to spread the word on how to do this. One thing to mention is to be careful to hold the tape gently so you do not stretch it over time.
    There is a particular bra and lingerie company that does not have many sizes and does not want us to know how to measure for bras because they just want to sell sell sell. They will tell you your size is a sister size or the closest size they sell but will not tell you your real size. There is a size for you! Don’t let that company make you feel bad about yourself with their selling tactics. They always like to tell me I’m something like a dd or a ddd. In US I’m a J 😂😂😂

    Part of the problem that I've encountered is when I've ordered two or more different bras that are labeled the same size as what I was measured for (44G) and all fit differently and none fit correctly. I've pretty much settled on the pullover sports/leisure bras, but that limits what i can wear for tops & dresses... 😢

    I have a question, it may seam stupid or TMI but I'm confused about it and I keep getting different numbers....so....when you are doing the second measurement around the fullest wides part of the bust, should the bust be hanging down naturally or should the be in a lifted posting where I would want them to sit with a bra on? And also are you supposed to be standing straight and tall or do you need to lean forward at like a 90° angel? cuz I've heard that tip before as well. And also should the measuring tape be lose, a snug fit, or pulled super tight against your body? And also shouldn't a bra cup completely cover the breast to the point where no cleavage at all is showing? And also how do you keep the breast lifted up where they should be instead of sagging down below the bra band line? Any tips or advice would be appreciated thanks

Throw yourself an amazing 50th semi-formal birthday bash and get yourself that dress you want and celebrate with all your friends and family in all their semi-formal glory as well! Shine like the star you are and show off your beautiful curvy new body! Will be way more fun than any prom could have been.

      I have a little tip for you, when you go and get a dress get one that has the Empire under the bust line. It will give you a more slender look, I have learned that being a plus-size gal myself! Have a wonderful 50th birthday! I had one and I invited all my family and friends and told them I only turn 50 once and I definitely want a haul in! I said I don't care if it's money, gifts, gift cards I want it all! LOL 😂 and I did I got a lot of nice gifts and gift cards and I had an absolutely wonderful time! I will never forget my 50th birthday celebration!

      You can get extenders for the back of your bra. So try to find a bra that fits your cup size, and then just add them to the back

    • @kittygoddess4477
      @kittygoddess4477 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm in the same boat, my sister!
      Every time I measure myself, I get a 56C or a 56D (possibly during my PMS days) and no one sells those! And in the off chance that I do find a website that does, they are ugly, grannyish styles! I've tried what others have suggested.....buying our cup size and then just getting extenders for the back, but they still don't fit right for whatever reason. :(

    • @passthepeace
      @passthepeace ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This might be where you try out sister sizing and seeing if this helps you find more styles. For example, I'm a 34D/DD but I could consider a 36C or a 32DDD or 38B as my sister sizes. I'd also recommend finding plus sized boutiques if you can near you because they will absolutely have cuter styles than the granny styles we find online sometimes. Good luck!

    • @passthepeace
      @passthepeace ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not every store measured the same and also the style of bra (push up vs demi, for example) will also contribute to the cup size of the bra. If your breasts are drowning in the bra, go down a cup size. If your girls are spilling over the top, go up a cup size. If they're spilling out the armpits, go up a band size (the number). I find that Victoria Secrets and Lane Bryant have different sizing than say Nordstrom or Target or Sears does, so feel free to experiment and good luck!!!

    I've watched what feels like a million videos and yours has been the best BUT here's my situation and question. I've lost 118 pounds in the past year and i hands NO bras that fit me. I've gone to torrid for a fitting but they just can't seem to get it right. I have what i lovingly call "armpit tits" 😆 🤣 😂 that spillage skin that starts where your boob is supposed to end and just hangs there, wrapping itself like an unwanted hug to where my back starts. How to i account for this when measuring? How do i measure without a bra on? How accurate will it be without a bra on? My boobs have never been perky, I've always been a big girl, they've always been saggy even as a kid. They are now even more extremely saggy since the weight loss. I used to be a full DDD and now i just have these pancakes that are jiggly like melting jello 😢😅
    Please... can you provide any advice or tips? I just want a few real bras to help me feel sexy again and my guessed size cheap sports bra isn't cutting it. Thanks so much! I'm going to check your website now!
