I went from a carpenter's dream (flat as a board) to a mountain climber's paradise (mountain peaks "C") over the summer between 7th and 8th grade. Mom was a double A so we really didn't understand the concept of an underwire bra. Wore them wrong for years!! Have had trouble all my life with bra's fitting correctly. Hate it when I find one that finally feels okay and then the wire starts to poke me. Finally went recently to the "AAhh Bra" (Just need to use your shirt size, ex. lg, exlg, etc.) Love the comfort, not too fond of the girls not being upright and perky, or that the weather indicators show through, but who cares, it's all about the comfort now. I just put on an extra layer of clothing and call it good!!!
