Bosom Buddies - Playtex Bra Makeover Series
Here’s the final Playtex Bra Makeover, featuring a pair of “Bosom Buddies”, Fabiola and Tuesday, who deal with their bra size denial and give their “girls” a boost in the newest episodes of my Playtex Bra Makeover series!
Fabiola continues to wear skimpy styles that are too tiny for her ta-tas, because she refuses to believe that she’s any bigger than a 38C. She’s convinced that the larger the bra, the uglier the style, and is beginning to think it takes a PhD to find her perfect fit. Her best friend since sixth grade, Tuesday, has “girls” that have been getting attention for all of the wrong reasons. Her boobs have headed so far south, they’re almost at the floor!
With help from Playtex, I save Tuesday from her drooping dilemma and show Fabiola that bigger actually CAN mean better!

Bra Fit Issues
Question: I just watched you on ABC talking about getting a great fit with your bras. I am having a difficult time finding anyone to help me. I am an older woman..74 this coming September. My husband passed away 5 1/2 years ago in a few months after his passing I lost 100pounds. My problem is bras. I was fitted not too long ago and was told I am a 36 C or B. I have size 38 and they feel snug. I just purchased three Bali bras size 38 C and they too feel snug around my body and the cups too large with some puckering. I am going to try a 40 B. Any help would be great?
Sincerely,
Donna
Alison: First off, each bra style can fit differently. Are you trying the same style or are you trying different bra styles? Here are some of my thoughts on styles: If you’re concerned about the shape of your breasts, you should definitely try a light foam cup. A compressed foam bra will not add any size but will give you a nice even, rounded shape.
Being that you say you were fitted not that long ago (this could mean two weeks or 6 months), band comfort is very personal. What “fits” for one person may be too tight and uncomfortable for another.
Also, try changing to a size different in the band OR the cup—not both at the same time. Both at the same time is a substantial change in size. Doing one at a time can help you better identify the right size. You could first try a 38B, then try the 40B.
If you just purchased them and they don’t fit, hopefully you can take them back. When you go back to the store, ask for a Bali Fit Expert to help you find the right size and style. I recommend that you move around—swing your arms in all directions, walk around the bra department, take a few laps—to make sure that you are comfortable in the bra.
