34 D

People

I have no words

Well actually I do 

But more like letters and numbers

Today I did something that I've been meaning to do since I was in my teens

Get fitted properly for a bra

Yes

I have stumbled through life thus far in ill fitting cheap bras 

And sports bras

Never in my life have I known what size I am 

Until today

My Mum was going in to her book club in town

So I decided to tag along 

And go and get fitted for said bra

But not before I got totally sidelined by the fluffy pyjamas and slippers in Dunnes

I just couldn't resist 

Then 

After I was €40 lighter

I headed to the bra shop

I guess I had preconceived notions of what a lingerie shop would be like 

The one in our town is in a department store 

I pictured little old ladies

With bad eye sight 

And measuring tapes 

But actually what I got was young polish girl 

I say girl

She was probably in her forties 

And boy did she know her stuff 

I had a budget of €50

And was hoping to get two bras for that

First

We went to the dressing room

Where she measured me

She wasn't entirely sure what size I was 

So she gave me a couple to try on

I looked at the size of the first one

34 D

I laughed at this point 

But she insisted I try it on 

And you know what?

It fit like a dream

OM freakin' G

I actually am a 34 D 

I was beyond shocked 

She told me to put my top back on over the bra to see how it looked

And holy shit!

Having my boobs in the right place totally changed my shape 

You guys

This is a revelation of epic proportions!

You see 

When I was looking at photos of our holiday 

I noticed that my boobs were a law unto themselves 

The only bras I had were ones that are comfortable 

But with absolutely no support whatsoever 

I swear they were all over the shop

Hanging down towards my knees in some photos

And in others 

Had disappeared under my arms 

It was very clear to me when I saw these photos 

That something had to be done about the boobage situation

I had to get it under control

So after I tried on the first bra

I was sold 

It cost €29

So I was on budget 

Next Nice Polish Lady had me try on some that were in the sale

She actually found one that fit me that was in the sale for €10

I was beyond impressed with my new Polish friend 

So 

I came away €39 lighter

But with two new best friends

Three if you count my Polish friend

I left that shop feeling like a million bucks 

If a bit shocked still at my size

But you guys

It's only now 

In my thirties 

That I am finally figuring all this stuff out 

Who knew that a correctly fitting bra could change my life so much?

Not me 

That's for sure 

I can't wait to wear my new bras 

I'm going to march around 

Proudly displaying my 34 Ds

I still can't believe I am that size 

But you've got to work with what you've got 

And I for one 

Left that shop today 

Feeling like I had just had a boob job

It's such a turn around from yesterday

When I was feeling so ugly and non descript

Today I feel like I have actively done something 

To accentuate my new shape

My new body 

And my new boobs!!

So 

On to the photos 

I am not brave enough to show you pics of me in my bra

But I will show you the difference the new bra makes to my shape 

Here goes... 

Edit: Photos do not do it justice

If I can get better ones I will post them
