Men of Lemmy, how old were you when you found out that bra cup sizes are not standardized in the slightest? - eviltoast

It’s so bad that my fiancée has some bras that say she’s a B cup and others that says she’s a D cup. In order to go bra shopping, you have to actually try them on to find out if they fit.

If I had to try on underwear to see if they fit, I might not bother with underwear at all!

    I’m between a medium and a large. More often then not though, I need the shoulder width and arm length of a large, but the cut in the torso of a medium. Clothing manufacturers assume Americans scale horizontally as they scale vertically. This maybe true given our obesity crisis.

      I think there was a great youtube video on clothes standardization, and how its basically not good for anyone, neither is it standard in any sense of the word
