10/25   Argh, I don't know what to do. I've been dealing with so much hassle
        for more or less the past 6 months, trying to shop online for bras,
        dealing with sizing issues, returns, exchanges... now it's to the point
        where I ABSOLUTELY NEED new bras, as I have ONE that, while not being
        the right size, is close enough that I can wear it. I NEED more, though,
        because even that one is pushing it. It's more than two years old and
        starting to fall apart.

        There was a sale going on with Lane Bryant's Cacique bra line. I ordered
        a few in 30 G... in most bras, a G is slightly too big. In three of the
        bras I ordered, I was hanging out of it majorly. To the point where I
        don't even know if an H will fit me. I'm going to exchange them this
        weekend if I can. One of the ones I ordered, also in a 30 G, fit pretty
        well. Not perfectly, but considering the dire NEED I'm in, I decided to
        keep it and wear it. Well, in the week and a half I've worn it, it's
        gone from being slightly too snug in the band on the loosest hooks to
        suddenly barely being tight enough on the tightest band setting. How is
        that POSSIBLE? I looked at the bra, and it didn't look stretched out,
        but now I constantly have to tug it down in the back.

        ARGH.

        I am just SO FRUSTRATED right now. I need bras that fit and I need
        them NOW. I shouldn't have to deal with this. I WANTED something cute,
        something that I'm not embarrassed to be wearing, but at this point I
        should probably just return the Lane Bryant bras, go to the one store
        in town that has decent bras in my size, the store that's run by the
        creepy lady who barges in on me in the fitting room, and get one of
        the utilitarian Goddess ones that I HATE because it's the only thing
        they carry. At least then I'll have SOMETHING. Even if they're ugly
        and uncomfortable, at least they're something I can try on in *gasp*
        an actual STORE, and know that they probably won't magically stretch
        out.

        Sorry, I know this is a little bit angsty, but I just kind of need to
        blow off some steam with people who understand.
        \_ Where is this coming from?  Is this some old penthouse letter or
           something?
