VS can’t even put their models in the right size bra.
Note the photoshopped out quad-boob, the center gore not touching her chest, and the gapping in her armpit.
There’s no way she’s a 32D or DD. Her band size is probably 28 or 30, and her cup size is a lot bigger than DD. (DD just means that there is a difference of 5 inches between her ribcage circumference and her breast circumference. Her boobs are way bigger than that.)
Ladies, find your real bra size! Having big boobs doesn’t cause back problems or jiggling, wearing the wrong bra does.
Stores in the mall don’t tell you your real size, they just tell you that you fit in a size they sell so you’ll pay for expensive bras from them.
(fun fact: When I shopped at VS they told me to wear a 34B. My real size is 30DD. Go find some of my pictures on here. DD is actually a pretty average size.)
My 2nd pet-hate is lingerie advertising photography with ill fitted models!
As a professional bra-fitter, size 28, at least in the UK is fairly uncommon. I often measure 5'2 slim 12 year old girls who are a 30 back. I accept that everyone is a different proportion though, I’m not saying you can’t be that slim. Also, all bra manufacturers sizes are made differently.
My NUMBER ONE pet hate is glossy weekly magazines when they give ridiculous measurements and weights for celebrities. A recent example I read was a The Only Way is Essex star who is curvy, 4" taller than me who I’ve met in the flesh. It listed her as a dress size 6, when she was clearly just a bit slimmer than me in the hips which would make her a 10. It also said her bra size was 27F, a size that doesn’t even exist, and even a 28 wouldn’t be appropriate for her rib cage. Then to cap it off it listed her weight as 8.5 stone, putting her BMI at 18.5 underweight despite her curvaceous figure. Absolute BS.
