With a desire to let you know that I KNOW how much of a pain it is to find a bra that fits, I’m sharing the first leg of my journey with you. I ordered nearly 30 bras at the end of May, tried them all on–had to wait longer for some because they went backorder–and am finally getting around to deciding the next ones to try. Here is the rundown of my journey, thus far, and my notes regarding the ones that I’ve tried. This is copy/pasted from an Excel sheet that I will maintain for future reference.
