			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My mom finally let me drag her down to the best little bra shop around&#8211;<a href="http://home.flash.net/~bras/index.htm" title="We're off to see the wizard...">Creative Woman, a.k.a. The Wizard of Bras</a>. You&#8217;ve probably heard that most women wear the wrong size bra. Would you like to know how wrong? Mom was wearing a 36D when what she should have been wearing was a 34F. She was rather disappointed to land such an oddball size, but she did have to admit those 34Fs were the comfiest bras she&#8217;d worn. The visit also put paid to our long-standing dispute over underwire&#8211;I love it, she hated it. But if I&#8217;d been wearing a bra that was two cup sizes too small, I&#8217;d probably hate it, too.</p>
<p>As for me, I knew I needed a new size, as my bras have been giving me backaches lately.  The wonderful wizardesses moved me up from a 32C to a 32D&#8211;which is not as impressive as it sounds. Cup size runs in scale with band size, so the cup on a 32 is smaller than the one on a 36. On an almost 6-foot tall woman, a 32D can still look pretty darned flat-chested. Who&#8217;da thunk it?  Anyway, the new bras are super-comfy, so who cares?</p>
<p>Mom called me again this morning to lament her F-ness. But here&#8217;s the thing, with the new, right, bras she actually looks less busty than she did before. Her cups do not runneth over. Plus, a properly fitted bra is the best way to avoid &#8220;matron-boob&#8221; you know, that mono-bosomed look that results from women wearing the size they&#8217;ve always been instead of the one they really are.  And, no backaches.</p>
<p>Mom is now a sworn believer for life, and has vowed to tell all her friends about the wizard of bras. If you&#8217;d like to make sure you&#8217;re wearing the right size bra, follow the <a href="http://home.flash.net/~bras/measure.htm">fitting instructions on their site</a>.</p>
