I'm sure Veronica will have good feedback to add but, in the meanwhile, and depending on other factors, a half-cup style might be a good bet. Lots of Euro companies make them in padded and unpadded styles.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-56885651043744644742013-05-08T15:04:31.633-04:002013-05-08T15:04:31.633-04:00That question is one that Marsha has too.

That would fit a shallow profile and come in 32A or 30B? I think I could probably wear a 30B instead of my current 32A, because the band is a bit loose and I have some side spillage; but I also have a shallow profile and three fingers of space between my breasts. The only 30B I've ever tried was way too close-set in the front.Keilexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829409796775187413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-12431056614504515532013-05-04T11:36:45.929-04:002013-05-04T11:36:45.929-04:00Sorry, that I can't do.

I've been told that this happens because my bra band is too loose, but it happens with bras whose bands, if they were any tighter, would prevent me from breathing without effort. (We'll talk about uplift, minimizing, etc., some other time.) P.S. The only bra "expert" I ever knew was the somewhat flaky sister of one of my daughter's friends, who worked at an underwear outlet store and had purportedly been trained, but whose opinion I could never see myself respecting. Is there a degree or certification or something that bra experts can get to vouch for their ability?

To me, bras have always been a nuisance that must be endured: utterly uncomfortable, but necessary in order to go through life with a certain degree of decorum (my pseudo-hippie days are long gone). I shop for bras at The Bay and usually go for the ultra boring, t-shirt bras in either black or nude. But, I’m going to be forty this year and have noticed gravity is starting to do its thing (insert gasp), even on my barely-there boobs. My t-shirts and blouses look odd on me these days and I think it may be time for a bra fitting, given that I’ve never had one. I’ll back in Toronto full time in September. Is your friend Veronica still in the bra-fitting business? If so, how do I find her? If not, do you have some pointers of where I could go for a proper fitting in TO? In the alternative (and I know this is a lot to ask, but I know no other expert!) would you be willing to take me bra shopping this fall?

Things like, "what is wrong with this fit and how would you fix it?" I can recognize when something is not right, but not always why. That said, I can most certainly benefit from others questions that I didn't even know I had.VictoriaRnoreply@blogger.com
