There was too much room between the cups and my breasts, and the gore was gaping wide enough for me to fit my thumb in the space between. Regardless, the fitter confirmed my size as a 32 DDD, and brought me the T-shirt bra to try. Finally, the central part of the bra between the cups - called the "gore" - didn't sit against my body, as lingerie experts say it should. The cups also seemed too large, and didn't fully hold my breasts with the material resting inches away from the fullest part of my chest. The fitter told me to switch back to the first hook, but when I told her that it didn't feel tight enough, she said the fit was "fine."
Although bra experts recommend trying on a bra with the first hook of the band fastened - to make sure it feels snug, since the band becomes stretchier over time - this band felt loose even on the third hook. I was told this test bra had a "fine" fit. Within seconds she told me that my "starting size" was a 32 DDD. I warned the fitter that the strapless bra I had on that day was actually too big for me, and though she agreed that it seemed too large, she continued to measure me in it, counting cup sizes with her fingers over the fullest part of my breasts.
This was in the middle of the store, while I was still wearing my own bra. I asked her about a bra fitting and she whipped the tape over my breasts and around my back under my denim jacket. Making my way past a display of mannequins clad in lacy, cut-out lingerie, I found a Victoria's Secret employee with a pink measuring tape slung around her neck. The space is decorated like a fancy boudoir and illuminated by moody lighting, with framed pictures of pouting Angels on the walls. At the Victoria's Secret flagship store on 34th Street, I was told I was a 32 DDD within seconds of being measured.įor the first fitting, I went straight to the Victoria's Secret mothership: its 34th Street flagship store.

And as I tried each bra, I kept the advice of a professional bra fitter in mind to judge the fit. I went for a bra fitting at four stores in Manhattan, trying the same $39.50 T-shirt bra at every store.
