Got Measured@victorias Secret For New Bras, The Extra Skin Is A Problem!



Recommended Posts

I went from wearing 44DD to 38DDs but the skin on the sides, under the arms and back make me feel I should wear a larger size. The ladies there said that wouldn't help:(

Unfortunately they are right. By the time you cover the loose skin the cups are too huge and pucker!

I don't shop in VS, though I could now. I go to a bra boutique place in my town and have hem fit me each time. Some bras have nice wide bands along the back and sides to help with the bulges. I wear a 36DD and don't like that from the back, you can see my bra line...but the small back is needed to hoist my girls up and in place.

I've been having the same issue. I went from a 44F to a 36DD and have A LOT of sag/loose skin. The VS Demi bra does work pretty well for me if I adjust the straps. Never thought I'd be able to shop there... They have so much cute stuff! But for more practical, full coverage bras I recommend Soma Intimates. They do way better fittings than VS and seem to have more training. I went in there, told them I'd lost over 100lbs and what my issues were. Left with a good every day bra.

Wow, you guys are dealing with extra skin and bra's, hm. I've been having to do that for years and now I have to realize that some day there's gonna be more skin?

I have the world's most non-compliant tata's, I mean, I tried on every Playtex Bra as well as every other bra in the place. Found a cheap bra that isn't supportive, but at least it doesn't hurt. My girls are hard to wrangle.

I'm too big for VS, but I have a great but expensive (to me) Plus Size Clothes Store that has a lot of bra's. I can actually go in and be fitted? Or help you? Man, I'd be so embarrassed. :rolleyes:

Go for a fitting someplace nice, like Nordtrom's They are very nice and trust me they have seen it before. You don't have to buy from them, but it may give you ideas on where to start size wise. VS gets mentioned a lot because they will take them back when you change sizes again.

We don't have a Nordstrom's. We have a Macy's/Bon-Ton/JCP..... but they don't even have clothes in my size.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
