No, they dont ride up at all, I get properly fitted every time I buy bras....one never knows if the have changed patterns, etc, you know?
I would think that there must be a difference in sizing, although what it would be, I dont know....
Well you would know - they are yours after all!
I don't know - I get a completely different size if I shop at say Victoria's Secret vs a high end lingerie and bra speciality store, but as long as it fits and is comfortable then that's all that really counts!
All this does is prove that the sweeping statements regarding how fat women over a 34 must be are completely ridiculous!
Bras are just made different. Not all companies will make them the same way. And between the rows of hooks and the straps you can fudge in some grey area. You can take a hundred women with the same underbust and overbust measurements and they won't all fit comfortable in the same size bra according to bravissimo. There just too much variation of women's bodies and two numbers aren't enough to properly categorize a three dimensional spherical object. It is just a guide.

That's true too. My back size varies from 32 to 34 depending on the company.
However a woman is unlikely to be a 32 F in Fantasie bras and a 36 D in Gossard. Maybe a 32FF in one and a 34F in another, but not a big enough discrepency to cover the differences we are talking about. It's a puzzle.
Personally after years of living here I am pretty convinced that a lot of American women are wearing the wrong bra size.
I also don't think that a 34E F G GG H J and all the others are vanity sizes. I was horrified the irst time I went to a high end department store in the UK and was fitted at a 34 F instead of the 36 DD I had been wearing up until then.
BUT the fit of the new bras was SO MUCH better and made me look so much better in clothes it was crazy.
I DID hear Robin Quivers on Howard Stern a while ago saying that she went for a fitting at a proper bra place in New York and nobody believed her results either.
They may be vanity sizes for a bra company that specializes and has glamour contests specifically for DD+ women and who seems to look for cup sizes larger then that. I don't think there was a woman who said her size who was smaller then a G cup.
I agree with you that most women are wearing the wrong size and that most would be "horrified" as you said you were to find that they are a bigger cup size. Like I already said most stores here will tell you to add three to five inches to your underbust so they can keep the letter small. It is more flattering in this country to be a 36C then a 34D.
So yeah, these women may be right perhaps even though I am aware of it my thinking is probably still polluted by it and perhaps most bra makers are making the bras bigger and putting smaller numbers on them like vanity dress makers.
I think I'll go home and tell my wife she is now a 36G and see how she feels about it.

Hahaha, LOVE the bottom bit!!
No the company Isn't like that at all - definitely not a 'glamour contest'. Have you seen this Dove Ads with the 'real women' naked? It's more like that.
Agree I was surprised there weren't more Es and Fs in the mix,but this is definitely a competition to encourage 'real women' rather than for glamour models to get a chance to get their kit off.
I see. Its just the attitude you see in this thread from the more vocal hateful people is so prevalent here. Women truly believe that A B and C cup is okay. D cup is friggen huge and DD cup is out of this world big and cup sizes larger just don't exist. If someone wants to make it in Hollywood they had better be no larger then a c cup unless they only want porn star roles. Actresses like drew Barrymore, Jennifer connelly, Mimi Rogers and Catherine heigl either get reductions or starve themselves down to stick figures to keep the pups under control. Somebody with hips and DDDs like Christina Hendricks comes along and bucks the system and everybody is like "OMg" like she invented big boobs or something.
Small band and big cups is probably very common it's just these women will never walk into a department store and find 32G bras on the rack and they would be treated like mutant freaks if they told people that's what they wore so they put on 36Ds and like it and conform like everybody else.

Yes. I'm naturally very endowed in that area, and finding a bra is a freaking chore.
I was a 34 when I was 15, 5'10", weighed 110 pounds soaking wet, and was barely an A.
I'm a D now, wear a 38, and can hardly be considered "large".
Yes you can. I love it when a BTB walks up and starts batting her eyelashes and I ignore her and walk over and start talking to a 32.
