It is NOT as if she doesn't have a MOTHER or one that isn't present and involved, so not sure why it is that he felt he had to fulfill this duty...especially since I had just been to the store with her a few weeks ago and bought her FIVE new bras. BUT nope, that wasn't enough, and so off they went. I suppose I wouldn't even have been aware of this "horribly embarrassing" experience, if it weren't for the fact that once there were there, in the store, surrounded by women's unmentionables and some old lady that kept giving my EX mean looks (probably pegged him as a pedophile:)my daughter called me. "Mom, can you PLEASE tell dad that I AM a size "C"!!! Apparently he wouldn't believe her....WTF, why would she lie?

I can empathize.
I went bra shop...Ah, poor thing. I can empathize. <br /><br />I went bra shopping last week, and yes...had the fitting ugh! So I was told I needed a 36C. No way in heck I thought as I checked the tag of my old 34B tattered, stretched to the limit, almost in sheds, non descript coloured bra. The young...very, very young salesgirl handed me a pile of bras. <br /><br />Well none of them fit. She said she just didn't understand why. So, I finally let her into the dressing room to have a peek a boo while I was wearing one of the bras. AHHA she said, nodding frantically, the rushed out of the cubicle yelling "I will return".<br /><br />Of course I knew why none of them fit! I have old lady boobs, which include underarm and back fat. So there is way too much flesh for those cute lacy "push ‘em to your ears" numbers.<br /><br />She came back with a handful of more bras...in a size I only thought centerfolds wear. (I’m not gonna tell ya the size). Anyway… a couple did fit, because they are for the woman with a more mature figure, AKA “old lady boobs” Am I proud of my new inflated bust size? Nah, I much preferred being flat chested, and thin.

And the underwires are really, really talented at working free and stabbing the woman who just paid a small fortune for the privilege.<br />In my yoof I had a part-time job selling bras and knickers (not a posh enough store for it to be lingerie). One of my brothers used to regularly sail through and humilate me. He would pick up a boxed bra and talk loudly about suing the store for false advertising because the bimbo whose photo was on the box wasn't in it.<br />Memories.
