Aventure - To find the good sizes - Part 2

First read: Part 1 >>>



Part 2:
__________________________

Back home, I went on the store website.


This is the range of sizes that that store propose: 
32A-32B, 34A-B-C-D, 36A-B-C-D-DD, 38C-D-DD





But, even more interesting, I saw that : «Fitting infos»





...how appealing!
I click:


Then, they ask me 2 things : my frame size and my bust size.
I entered the information and this was the machine answer:



Wow!! My god, this is crazy!


And then, this caught my attention :


«Detailled mesuring explanations»  
aHaha!  ...«more fun» I taught!

...because, yeah, I would like an explanation for that... My usually 28FF boobs would be, in fact, 32C ones?


so here are the  «Detailled mesuring explanations» :


But, if I read that well...  

If I follow the rule: «bust size» - «frame size»  ... 34'' - 28'' = 6
then, I should take a E cup, or even more!! (which is true, for once!)



and then, I read this:  «... offers bra style from sizes 32A to 38 DD. If your size is not in this range, please see our swing sizing chart to find your best fit.»   (!!!!)


«What is swing sizing? »
Well... I love «swing dance»!! I told myself ... I will see if I love «swing sizing» ?


....haha, I could leave this without comments! The picture and the text speaks for themselves!


_______________________________________


but I will add a little something, to be sure you are not mixed with the other explanation I gave about a 28F becoming a 30F.
 


In the  «Detailled mesuring explanations» : I particularly love the : «...[We] offers bra style from sizes 32A to 38 DD» (but with big empty gaps between thoses numbers and letters they should add...) «If your size is not in this range, please see our swing sizing chart to find your best fit


Wow!
Re-wow!
...so, if I can make my traduction: «if you not fitting in this range, just try to fits in something close to your size, in OUR bra sizes»

yeah, this is well said... «we won’t adapt the product to the size of our customers... they will!»


Hey voilà!  ...I was so angry in disbelief !


So, for the explanation I gave about a 28F becoming a 30F:
It's because some brand are doing their bra a little bit smaller than most others, or sometimes a fabric is more elastic and you prefer to have your bra more thigh for example.
THEN you can switch from a size that already FITS you, to another size that can maybe fits you best in certain circumstances.


But... If  it don't fits you, it don't.
If they don't have your size... go somewhere else!

The 32DD or even 30 DDD/E that the salegirl should have take
... she  had remplaced it by a 34C.
...well, it's don't fits her !!!
...maybe the bra will give the apperance to fitts (because the cups are gonna be big enough) ... but you will have no support! (because the band is WAY too big!)



...so, the:  «if you not fitting in this range, just try to fits in something close to your size, in OUR bra sizes»
 
that can also translate to: «we won’t adapt the product to the size of our customers... they will!»

applies to that situation.
________________________________________


And the worse, it’s that: I thought... «Do they know that this won’t really works? it won't fit??»
And then, I remembered the: «I know what you are talking about» look on her face...

Well, I know it’s so easier for a large company to do the 14 most ‘’common’’ sizes.
And then convince the other sized ladies to find the best fit in those same ‘’common’’ sizes. (Quite easier... the only store in Québec city offering something else got buyed by that big «I-don’t-care-about-your-real-size» store...!)

And if your not yet sure... see this: this is the kind of image they dare put in their publicities!!!




as I write on the picture:


as I write on the side of the picture:

Underwires, that are ON the Breast (and not under) = Outch ! and no support :(

_______________________________________________

So, will this generic sizes store give ‘’support’’ to customers and their boobs?
Will this give a great fitting product?
No.
Sadly, no.
It will only give frustrated women, with blister on their bust, for not wearing the good bra size.

BUT!
And this is a big but.
If you want great fitting bras for you, there is hope!

...look for «Bravissimo» on the internet.

Yeah, «Bravissimo»...

 _______________________________________________
Note: if you are in the lucky persons really fitting in the: 32A-B, 34A-B-C-D, 36A-B-C-D-DD, 38C-D-DD range, then, I’m really happy for you!
Those stores are then maybe for you!  But anyways, pay attention to what the ‘’specialist’’ in the store is telling you.
If you don’t feel great in the bra... if you don’t fell supported... don’t take it!
Because you deserve nothing less! : )

takes cares!

Aventure - To find the good sizes - Part 1

Bonjour : )

I’ve started this blog in august 2011 and I’ve started to write reviews (on sport bra for example).

But with all the work that I had to do, I didn’t have the time to complete them.

But, yesterday happened something so frustrating that I needed to write about it and made a review!
