Lets Talk Cup Sizes

[GivingItMyAll 168]

I expect that my band size will decrease with weight loss, but what about cup size? I love my Ds and would like for them to stick around. Lol

I am okay with leaving my DDD behind. Will need a boob job next....

U will def lose at least a cup or two... Most of my female friends did but they loved their new figure

I am only a little over a week out and have lost around 15 pounds. I noticed that there was a gap in my bra cup. I decided to break out the tape and have already lost 1/2 inch from my bust! I am so sad.

You will most definitely lose a cup size or two. But hopefully it will look proportionate with your new body

LOL - I was wondering what JimmyGotSOUL was going to say in this thread. Good info as usual!

To the OP, it may matter if you had been fitted properly before surgery. I had not been fitted properly, and was wearing a 38D soft cup (if I recall). I knew I needed new bras and so went to Nordstrom for a professional fitting. I walked out with three new 36DDD bras!

I had a reduction just under two years ago, so I am not sure if my situation is the same as other folks. I really thought I was going to be a C cup when I went for fitting.

If you search, there are a couple of helpful discussions here on bras and breast size.

I went from a 40 DD to my perfect 36 C...

I still have my boobs. They are pretty saggy, but they are there. I was wearing a 42DDD before surgery. I was just fitted at Nordstrom. Since, my boobs are still very big, my size changed depending on the brand. I bought three bras with the help of a fitter. (All at once) I was a 34 FFFF, a 36 G and a 36 H depending on the brand. So, I still have a large bust, I had one before I gained the weight. They just don't look as good as they once did but not as bad as I predicted! I am also 40 years old, so gravity is setting in. If you are younger, they might look perkier.

I was a 44D before surgery and I'm a 36D now. I am 57 and they are pretty saggy without a bra although they still point forward and not at the floor. In clothing I look good!

[KatieOkieDokie 171]

That is something I am hoping to lose! While I love having large breasts, I hate the strain and pain they cause my upper back! I wouldn't mind being a D or C at this time!

Getting ready to lose most of them. They are all fat. So they are one of the first to go. I barely anything left after large for years. Yes, I am mourning them, but I'm OK with them being gone so I can be thin again

Nordstroms is the best! Every time I go I am so pleased with the customer service. I'm pre op and will be happy to have whatever size breasts I have left. It's gotta be better than a belly larger than the boobs i have now! AKA Barrel shaped

I lost 90lbs and went from a 40D to a 38D...I was measured at Nordstom's and found this shocking. The gal at Nordie's said the cup of a 40D is actually bigger than the cup of a 38D..I thought a cup size was a cup size. Guess I was wrong!

There is a whole mathematical equation to bra sizing, apparently, and it is all over my head! One can wear a smaller band size with a larger cup size, or vice versa. So a 40C might be fairly equivalent to a 38D. Depends on the manufacturer too.

Were you measured at Nordstrom prior to your weight loss?

I feel that I can't really compare apples to apples as I wasn't fitted properly before I went in. After my fitting, my bras fit like I have always heard they should, but prior to that they were mostly just "contained".

Is there anywhere else besides Nordstrom that does these awesome fittings? The last time I was fitted it was at Lane Bryant and NONE of the bras fit right and unfortunately, we don't have a Nordstrom here!!! BOOOOO!!

Have you tried J C Penny? I know they do them here, not sure how accurate they are?
