Love it! My bras don't fit.

I love pretty bras. Even overweight/obese I had a rainbow of them. (I have weird obsession with wearing a bra that matches my shirt) I love the Cacique bras for the support and lift, and have dozens of them. My DH jokes that I have "bra Christmas trees" because I hang numerous ones from one strap onto a clothes hanger, lol. I have a hanger in the laundry room just to air dry them. I even hang them in the closet because they took too much room in a drawer : (

When we lost my son I literally gained so much, so fast, that I had to get those bra extenders. About 20lbs down I was able to stop using those... then I lost 20lbs more and was having to use the last/tightest hooks. I realized today that my bras are all too big around! One of the measurements I took to start was my ribcage (right at the bra band level) and it has gone from 44 in to 36.5 in!

My bras don't fit at all! This is a great NSV for me!

@@Daisee68, can you provide a name or link to the place that accepts donations? I think that's a fine idea! I have some very newish bras I know I won't be able to wear for long after surgery.

I've promised to treat myself to at least one Stella McCartney bra when I hit goal. Her stuff always looks so fun. Hopefully I'll be able to wear them.

@@songsmith - Here is the one I used http://www.donateyourbra.com/index.html. I just liked their concept. I know there are some others though. Some Soma stores take them as well.

I went from a 44DD to a 34B! No more back pain! Hard to find 34B but I'm thrilled!!!

I bought my first new bra after losing 40 lbs and went down 1 band size but same cup. I'm now a 34H, mind you, I did have breast augmentation several years ago, so I know my cup size won't change a whole lot but thought it would be more different.

I must also admit, I probably should have increased my bra size when I gained weight after augmentation but being a 36H was embarrassing enough!

By the way, it was never my goal to be. In such a large cup size and once I'm at my final goal, I will be downsizing. Much to my husbands disappointment!!
