Thank you, Sal. I am going to wear it a bit on Saturday and try it on with a variety of my sleeveless tops. I want to see if the spillage is visible and how it feel as I move around. I want to say one more time, the shock I felt when I walked out of the store with a 34 band. I cannot remember ever having bought a 34 band (maybe as teenage girl). I hate foam and sculptured bras. I hadn't thought about the "pretty straps" though. That is a good idea.
Hi RunCarla -- The sales assistant was exceptionally GOOD. I honestly did not think I could go thorough it, but she made it seamlessly easy. I don't question whether I am a 34D or not, I question my comfort level and whether I can adjust to a properly fit bra. Evidently, I haven't worn the correct size for all my of my adult life. There are three hooks and the band itself can easily hold up the breasts, no straps necessary.
Toban -- I was thinking that "I could own a proper fitting bra, but if it was torture to wear it, I would avoid it at all costs." Here is the new plan. Wear this bra for a couple of hours, see how it feels, try it on with various sleeveless garments on Saturday. I have to go to the mall over the weekend. Go to Nordstorms, SOMA, and another one that was recently recommended to me, get a second fitting for comparison and try on several more bras. The first fitting was at Belks. I thought she was fabulous and I don't doubt her sizing, I doubt my ability to wear it. And yes, it is likely I have been wearing incorrect band sizes for most of my adult life.
Thank you, Jane. I have a plan now. That plan is all about little steps that I can accomplish without too much stress. This process will NEVER be fun and I envy RunCarla having her SA at the Toronto Nordstroms.
If you ladies do not mind, I thought I would start a second thread about bras fittings. I would copy your comments to the second thread.
Finally, I have new underwear! I am pretty excited about them. New brand to me (Wacoal).
