OT: You know you're a little too preoccupied about bra fitting when...

Kari

...you watch Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time, and spend THE WHOLE MOVIE shocked and appalled at the terrible fit of the bra that Janet, Susan Sarandon's character, is wearing.

(Seriously, her bra band is practically up to her shoulders! Couldn't they find something closer to her size?)

hahaha. I saw a woman wearing her bra like this the other day, and I was SO tempted to go up to her and tell her that there's a better way!

Heh, that's hilarious!

I'm always too transfixed by the beauty of Tim Curry's makeup to notice much of anything else...

Poor Susan, another casualty of the small ribcage/big cup combo!

Maybe that's why she tended to go braless so much in other movies.

Hehe. I know, of all the movies to be distracted by something as minimal as a terribly fitting bra...

The thing is, I just find it hard to believe that even wardrobe stylists for films or TV shows don't know how to fit a bra on a woman with a small ribcage and larger cup size. No wonder there are people like me who for YEARS thought that it was normal to totally overflow my cups and have a back band that you could pull out about a foot from your body.

well, it would make sense that if we are seeing this kind of fit in a movie, we all think that it is how it is supposed to fit.. right?

Exactly, Kim.
Not to mention the Victoria's Secret catalogues where the models are intentionally given bras with cup sizes that are too small so that they will have more cleavage, or something.
