I've been thinking about making a "sizing post" like this for awhile. This post is an attempt to give some sizing guidance, and also to collect your impressions and wisdom in the comments. I'll make a permanent link to this post in the links sidebar on the journal's main page, so that it can easily be found for reference or to add to the comments when you try a new brand or style and have info to share (or questions to ask) on how the fit in certain brands and styles compares to the same size in other brands and styles.

During my trip to Bravissimo Edinburgh, I tried on a bunch of stuff, both to buy and to figure out the best sizes for some ranges, (in case I decided to buy those styles online in future seasons when they might come out in different colors or slightly different materials). I tried on mostly bras, and found a new favorite t-shirt bra. I also got a dress from their fitted range, and tried on a bunch of their fitted jackets (my verdict: don’t bother with the jackets, they just made me look lumpy, at least). Hopefully these reviews will help out some of you who may have also been thinking about buying these online...

I figured I should post about this here, since it will likely affect this journal. It was a hard decision, but I've decided to have a reduction. Primarily so that clothing will fit better, and so that I will be able to buy bras in your average mall store, rather than through specialty retailers. Also, a straight male friend of mine recently told me that guys don't actually like big boobs anymore, and a lesbian friend chimed in to let me know that womyn, in fact, also hate big boobs.
