My Bra Had a Baby!
As you know, I am on the search for new lingerie. My bras are too large and my underwear is too old and un-pretty. Well after being measured, it seems that I am still the same band size (though am close to going down) and down one cup size. So I checked out Nordstrom's sale department online to see what I could find in my new size.
These are the two bras I received. THEY ARE THE SAME SIZE. Same band, same cup. One is Natori, one is DKNY.
Seriously DKNY, WTH? The Natori fit great and I am actually wearing it today and wore it Saturday. It made my brown dress fit better because my bust wasn't so… busty. I couldn't feel it on, and it hides under knits. Total win.
The DKNY, I put it on just for giggles. You know how a too-small bra may give you quad boobs from overfill? Well this bra, I had overfill in my armpits, on top and even under the wires! Talk about a major FAIL! A funny fail, but a fail nonetheless.

Bras are the one thing I never, never buy online. I’ve had this experience in dressing rooms with bras that are the same size but different manufacturers.
Thanks for a good giggle and an example of how inconsistent bra sizing truly is between brands! Holy cow.
OOO underarm boob! I got a sports bra from Title IX that did that. It was sex-ay.
Glad you posted this though. I get a lot of good lingerie advice from you, it seems. I get so flustered when I go to any lingerie dept, that I just buy the same old stuff. Thanks for posting!
Incredible! But I found the same thing when I ordered bras from both during Nordstrom’s anniversary sale. Like you, I went with the Natori and am loving it.
Whoa! What’s up with that? Has vanity sizing actually spilled over into lingerie? That’s crazy!
