I got measured!
Last night I decided to head over to my local Victoria's Secret store and get my first official measurement since surgery. They just relocated in the mall, and the new store is fabulous! My head started swimming while browsing all the lingerie I'm going to be buying once I get all dropped and fluffed and stuff =)
The store was busy, but I managed to find a wonderful associate who took me back into the dressing rooms to get me measured. When you walk in the individual room the mirror has the word " Strip " on it. ( Sounded fitting to me! ) Anyway, she uses her nifty measuring tape and tells me that I am a 34D to DD. My mouth hit the floor and I squealed " really??? " as she turned to grab a few bras for me to try on. First one was just the D cup, and it was a little snug in there, so she had me try on the DD. Let me tell you, I just loved that girl AND that bra! Turns out it was their new wireless Ipex bra, which is perfect for me since wireless is a no no because of my crease incision.
I'm standing there wondering if I should pay 50 bucks for a bra that may not fit in another 4-6 weeks when I decided to ask about a plunge bra for this new VS blouse that was delivered via Fed Ex earlier in the day. The shirt also has more of an open back so I am already expecting a bit of trouble when it comes to finding a bra for it...I may end up just wearing pasties hehe. She had me try on this underwire convertible bra with clear straps, and I was not a fan of that bra. Not just because of the underwire, but the clear straps were digging into my shoulders. Then when we replaced them with the other straps, the cup started to bulge. I tightened up the straps and then the cups bulged in a different spot. Not pretty I tell you!
I came out of the dressing room in good spirits, loving the wireless Ipex and wanting one right now! However I allowed my sensibility to rule my actions and decided to wait and call Dr. Vanek's office in the AM and ask what the probability was that I wouldn't fit in it in a few months. I even went to Walmart to buy a few more sports bras and maybe a cheapy 34D just to hold me over until I can get that VS one. Well, there is a reason those bras are so cheap. Darned things made me look like I had torpedos coming off my chest!! I decided on just 2 more sports bras and got the heck out of there. My girls were getting irritated from all the trying on, and my skin was becoming dry as well.
All in all, it was a great night. And I did speak with Dr. Vanek this morning ( It's very odd to have the doctor himself return your phone call! ) and I got the go ahead to purchase the Ipex. I will be heading to VS in a few hours after my hubby gets home. Who knows, maybe I'll even find something he'll like while I am there =)
