Feminine mysteries; Gentlemen may wish to avert their eyes.

I have been 36B for a thousand years.

How come I am now 32D?

*Edited to add: I am reliably told by larians that I have been 36C, not B. So glad he keeps track of these things...

The Boob Fairy.

I like her but she confuses me...

Because you have lost weight from under your bust but your actual breast has remained pretty much the same size. At least that's how it works mathematically.

Hence why I am such a stupidly large cup size because I have a quite narrow underbust measurement.

or in laymans terms, they aint got bigger the rest of you as got smaller :D

My earlier attempts at dieting have always resulted on weight loss from my face and my breasts:-( I'm pleased but surprised that it hasn't happened again:-)

When you find out how you did it could you let me know please?

Why yes, it's my famous patented back-shrinking diet based on, er, er...

I don't know, but I've gone up from a 36B to a 36C. Suddenly. After years of being a 36B despite may changes in weight. I tried to work it out on search engines on online and I got every size from 40AA to 36D depending on which website I looked at!

Someone told me yesterday about...Trinny and Suzanne? Something like that, where they went into 4 different shops and got measured -and then got four different results!

If you had a bra fitter do the business on you then I know from experience there is precisely no logic to it but what you're saying is familiar.

Rigby and Peller in particular are famed for pulling a trick where they ask what your current size is, take two inches off the back and increase the cup by two sizes and the bra magically fits better. But they pass it off as "knowing the size by sight" or some other bobbins.

I always have my bras fitted properly, even down to them adjusting the straps for me, the first time I was fitted pretty much the same thing happened - 4 inches off the back and up 3 cup sizes and it really does make a difference.

She didn't even measure me - she just looked at me and said 'You're wearing the wrong size,' and then disappeared, like Mr Ben's shopkeeper only to return with a gorgeous bra that fits beautifully. How on earth does that work?

I'd have given you a C or D cup previously. You were probably wearing the wrong size.

Yay the boob fairy!

I think you're right. Oh well, so much for all those pretty La Senz bras that burned a hole in my purse...

Never look a gift bra in the mouth ;)

[the-pale-queen.livejournal.com]

Really, be glad. This will never, ever happen to me...

Ah you say that now, but one day, every woman faces the mystery of the shrinking/expanding body. I recall a time when I was as thin as a stick, the last girl in class to 'bloom'. Then at one point in my life, I was on the mini-pill and I exploded into this humumgous earth mother creature; I still had a waist but everything else billowed alarmingly!

Now - well, here I am, at a stage where my body has obeyed my edicts, and none of my bras fit!
