women - your bra size and height without heels ?

I say I'm 5'1", and even occasionally stretch that to 5'2", but I'm closer to 5'.

When I was younger, I usually wore 34B bra. And like a lot of girls, I just grabbed what felt comfortable and never worried about getting measured. I also believed that cup size was an absolute, not a relative, measure. That all changed when I wanted a very pricey bra and got fitted -- for a 30D. :eek:

As I learned, it turns out that cup sizes are relative to band sizes. So, a 30D cup is the same volume as a 34B cup. The girl who fitted me told me it wasn't unusual for girls to come in wearing bras one to two band sizes too big because they were fixated on a particular cup size rather than the relative cup/band size.

These days (post pregnancy) I'm a 32C or 32D. Some day I'd like to get back to a 30D, but Hubby kind of likes me the size I am now. :D
Still 5' and a bit (maybe)... 😉

But thanks to being pregnant, I'm firmly a 34 C right now. Even my post (prior) pregnancy 32 D fitted bra I mentioned above is a bit snug, although it should be the same cup volume as a 34 C. 🤷‍♀️

I think the cheap 34 Cs I just bought have a lot more stretch to them (the fitted bra has none). I was lamenting about this to Hubby, but he reminded me I'm in better shape (more muscle) than I was after my prior pregnancy and suspects that's why the fitted one is snug. He got a nice reward for saying that. 😈😁
