Problems with bras?!

Question

I've recently lost 30lbs and went back down to a 34c from 36c; got them in the mail today - from VS - and the cups are too small!!  How does that even happen?!

Answer

Make sure you are measuring properly. You might have lost weight, but your cup size may not have actually changed. A 34C is not the same cup size as a 36C, it actually is the same as a 36B.
For proper advice on bra fitting check out the "A Bra That Fits" Reddit or "Venus Glow" has an indepth guide. Also btw, Victoria's Secret do not tell you how to measure correctly.

Answer

A 36C cup is closer to a 34D if you've gone down a band size. You'll need to go get refitted to make sure. It's also possible that your current bands have stretched and you're still a 36C in a brand new bra. VS bands tend to get looser the longer you own them. I don't know how long you've owned them, but I usually notice a difference in 6-12 months, depending on how frequently I wear the bra. Best bet would be to go get resized. Also, when you change weight the same style of bra may not fit right any more, so you may need to look at different styles to see which fits in a way you're comfortable with.

Answer

You probably didn't lose your breast size, just the band size. That means if you size down to a 34 in the band, when you were originally a 36C, you need to wear a 34D. A C cup is not the same volume in every band size. A 32C has smaller cups than a 34C, which has smaller cups than a 36C.

Answer

Vs recently changed their sizing just fyi. I was just in there and the sales woman told me they re did their sizing and I had to be remeasured and went up to a dd. With the same band size from a c. My advice is to take them back to a store and ask to be measured bc they don't fit and return them.

Answer

A 34c has a smaller cup size. Like I was 32c I wasn't a C cup but a b cup but a 32 has a smaller cup confusing I know

Answer

When ordering bras and panties from VS order a size up from your size cause they run smaller.

Answer

Congrats on the weight loss :) I'm not sure if you've bought from VS before or not but in my personal experience I can't stand their bras. They just never fit me right and are very uncomfortable. A lot of their bras also very in actual size of the cup depending on the style of the bra so I find them to be inconsistent. That may be why you received one with smaller cups even though you ordered the "same size".
