unknownfateOk, so my sweet sister sent me a gift card to Victoria's Secret since I've been griping about my lack of underwear options. I went to the website and because it's always weird to try to figure out sizes online, I measured myself beforehand and went to the Victoria's Secret size chart. Now I have been a size 36B since high school. No matter what weight I've put on or lost anywhere else, that much has stayed the same. I figured it would be at least close to that on VS too. However, the website tells me that my size is somewhere between a 44C and a 40D, but I should try some on to pinpoint it. What??
The whole point of know what size I am was so I could have a better chance of ordering one that fit without being able to try it on. That is the great and terrible problem of ordering clothes online. Trying one on is not an option. If it was, I wouldn't be at the website. And how did I leap so many sizes? The bra I'm wearing right now is 36B. All I can figure is that the Victoria Secret sizes have been changed to fit the elven maidens they have in the pictures. If Petita Del Wispy there is a size 36B, then I guess I'm Gargantua the Great, Bride of Bra-zilla! Off to stomp on a coastal village!
Heehee! Ok, I'm being silly. Half the underwear on this site I would be ashamed to wear in the first place. I looked at the sleepwear page and started giggling. The garment pictured was not meant to be slept in... Or worn for very long... And I bet it would be uncomfortable if you tried. But! Moving on, I found something nice that should fit, if I've read all the size charts correctly. I just hope they have a good return policy in case it's completely wrong.

I am a 40a... try finding THAT, and sometimes they are too big for me... so I have to get a 38a it just depends on the cut.

Date: 2007-03-18 10:14 pm (UTC)I got dragged to an Ann Summers party the other day. It was horrifying. All buzzing things and bits of wispy lace things that I think could be sewing thread or dental floss.
People were shoving things into my hands that I had no IDEA EXISTED. I'll spare you details, but if you're brave enough to look, venture to www.annsummers.co.uk
You might wish you hadn't. But at least you won't have to endure an evening with one of your boyfriend's braying London exes bragging about how she wore out her last vibrator.
She is the only ex I hate. For several reasons.
A. She put about the rumour that Adam "forced himself on her". She can go to HELL, because anybody who knows him knows he's too ineffectual to manage anything like that.
B. She called me Ginger.
C. She said I couldn't paint.
Grr. I envision petrol and matches.
