Have you ever suspected you might be one of the 80 percent of women who are wearing the wrong size bra? Have you ever considered going to a department store to be properly fitted once and for all? Have you ever thought you might rather brush your teeth with a rusty brillo pad than stand half-naked under fluorescent lights while a stranger manhandles your hooters?

Macy’s is here to help!

Check out macys.com/fitmatters for a quick video featuring Macy’s Intimate Apparel Fit Manager, Kymmarie Russo, who shows you exactly how to measure yourself and arrive at your correct bra size. One word of caution: smaller busted ladies (such as yours truly) might want to use the fit calculator here after watching the video, since the video does not account for what happens when your boob-to-band ratio is a NEGATIVE NUMBER. Not that that happened to me or anything.

Yikes. AA is for Amanda. Who knew?

You took me back to Helen's Young Ages, the shop in my hometown where I was measured for my first bra. A friend who was more "mature" than I was with me. She told the saleswoman she needed a different size bra than the one she'd been wearing, that she felt sure she needed at least a B cup. The woman's response: "Where are you hiding them?" Egads. It's a wonder we ever get it right. Maybe some of us never do. Something else for me to worry about! Thanks for making me laugh.

I love that you said "hooters."

If you are on the IBTC, I'm on the GGG (Giant Gazonga Guild). We sigh longingly at the girlish smallness of the C-cups ...

I've been fitted about ten hundred times. Hate it hate it hate it, but the first time I did it was life-changing. Like everyone else, I thought I was a 36C. Turns out, I was a 34D. Holy crap, such ... LIFT! such ... SUPPORT! My shirts fit, I didn't look like my own grandmother! So per instructions, I get measured pretty much every year, embarrassing as it is ...
