Non-photoshopped bra shopping for the masses

Anyway, back to bra talk. I kinda like the look of Aerie bras, but it's atrocious how badly their bras fit their models. It's especially obvious without retouching. And their size calculator is all kinds of fucked up. According to their fit calculation, I'm a 36D. If you've seen photos of me, that is OBVIOUSLY not the case.. I'm actually a 30D or 32C depending on how much water I'm retaining.

 

Looks almost exactly like my wife did at 8.5 months pregnant. Fertility statue. What makes you think it means "hot"?

 

I'm guessing you are wrong. You see, fertility and pregnancy were magical and important events. Or do you think that overly obese supersized women were the neolithic super models?

Edit addition...

 

That proves nothing... other then porn's been around FOREVER.

I kid, I kid... relax.

Oh, right this thread is about bra shopping. Almost forgot there for some reason.

 

Also, who said I was upset?

 

Why do women do that to their toes?

 

That's for another thread.

 

I have bigger breasts and I feel a lot sexier during sex, their is just something about having something "there" that helps the sex life and how you feel about yourself of course..

Thanks for pointing that out @Borla. Until you mentioned it, I hadn't realized that she had feet.

 

They are comfy as fuck. Seriously. Also, when you get the correct size, they shape damn well.

Example: Last time @damnitall visited, I nicely suggested we go bra shopping, since her bras probably last looked brand new during the Clinton administration (<3). To say she looks fantastic in them in a major understatement.

 

I honestly don't know what I'd do without @GeneticShift. She makes my boobs look good.

 

Judging by your pictures, the above may be an epic understatement. Or perhaps that's just you....

 

Aw shucks.

 

I'm all for using undoctored photos of real women to advertise everything, not just bras. I sympathise with women trying to find bras that fit right. My wife has a hard time finding bras that fit comfortably all day, when she gets home the first she does is lose the bra. Some cups are too far apart, some too close together, etc. At least she is realistic about not squeezing into too small of a bra.

I'm convinced that advertisers use images that appeal to our, female & male, sense of what we want to look like, not what we actually look like. My build might appear to be average, but it isn't. I have thick legs and square shoulders (most mens dress shirts, sport coats, suit coats, etc. are designed for sloping shoulders), which were a problem when I was in shape. My wife has her father's body type, broad shoulders & hips, and thick legs. Even in top shape (marching band in college) her weight would've been considered too high by most of the height & weight calculators that I've seen.

It's my understanding, from a person who is in the lingerie business and other sources, Wacoal makes some? most? of the Victorias Secret bras.

EDIT--My mother still complains about bras going to the natural shape, she liked the old bullet bras. I can't imagine why.

 

I've actually never had a problem with any of my VS straps! Maybe the styles we get are different.
