shopping help: How do you find the right bra? - Help.com

How do you find the right bra?

i know you have to try them on and see if they fit, but how do you get past the akwardness of looking through sizes and just shopping around the bra aria in general? (especaily if your mom might be there! (probebly just at the cash register though))

If your mom is there- ask her to help. She’s done this before.

If you go to an upper end place (not even that upper end… like JC Pennys)- they’ll help you (translation: you sit in a stall and they go get everything- although many might find that MORE awkward)

ok, i am not asking my mom to help me, she looks at her stuff in the store, and i look at mine. we can go for hours without seeing eachother, it works out really good. but yeah not shopping for bras with her when anyone could walk by and see

usually there will be a lady, and chances are she’ll offer to help- especially if you are wondering around the bra section (at your age) looking really confused.

ha h aha ha… You say “Ok mom, I picked out what I needed. I’ll come back over when you are done checking out.” Hand them to her, and then walk to go check out the jewelry selection

lolz that may be my only option. she’ll make fun of me a little but thats ok. i have one more question. a koals near my house is haveing a huge sale and tops are like $5. but there all really thin with a tighter fit. i can see every detail of my current miss fitting mutant sport bra type things. and i tryed to put a tank top under but you can see every detail of that too. now, i’ve seen girls ware black bras with white shirts, but i think they look retarted. as jeff foxworthy said “if your bra is a darker color than your shirt, you might be red neck!” hahahahahah but anyway, i was wondering if that was ok to have it look like that, i may have unintensionaly exagorated about how much detail you can see, but yeah. theres shirts are sooo cheap, and all i have are t shirts so i’ve never run into this problem.

Hmm- Yeah, most shirts like that will do it. If they are that revealing I tend to think of them as undershirts.

However, you sound fairly undeveloped (ok, from sports bra, still nevrous about buying a real one… I’m assuming you’re not a double D)

anyways, you have 2 options, because you are flatter- you can try going without
Or, Just go with- as long as you can’t specifically see the bra then it isn’t too bad. A touch tacky- but no one is likely to look down on you unless you are in a job interview or something like that.

hmm.. i think i’ll have to stick with my $20 hot topic anime and band tees. lolz, i dont; mind. its just $5! omg. i need some shirts anyway but yeah. and by the way, the only dubble d i know of is on ed ed and eddy (lolz). (in other words i know nothing about bra sizes!)

and the reasen i don’t want to go without is becuase my mutaint weirdo i-don’t-know-what-they-are bras arn’t that comfterable, and one day i had to run a whole bunch to pla tag with my friends, and my bra freaking fell around my waste! (don’t ask me how that happens, i don’t know!!!) freaky. o.o

Usually mall like stores will. I think macys might (I’m not sure) Eh, any place that gets a little commission DEFINITELY will. I am not sure where it does/doesn’t I just know the more likely the more “ritsy” the place is.
