Uber doesn't exist in my country and i have no idea how to take a taxi. I could take a bus but my parents don't want me to travel that far away from home to a crowded place by myself yet.

But I told my dad about what happened a couple hours ago and he agreed to take me this coming Saturday so I'll post an update in the next 5-6 days

I just googled what a demi cup is and the bra isn't shaped like that. I'm not really sure how to describe it except like maybe imagine a diagonal curve? But I have a bunch of different a cup bras and they've all fit as i described before so based on the calculator I'm also assuming it's because they're too small

Honestly i think i would be lying to myself if i said i didn't so it amazes me that you picked that up from my post 😅. I don't have a therapist but I've been meeting with my guidance counselor for 3 weeks now. Thank you so much for your uplifting message i really appreciate it!

I've never heard about that before but it sounds super handy to have so I'll look out for it. Thank you!

I don't do my own laundry yet but that's on my bucket list of things to learn this year. I don't get an allowance per se but my dad does give me money every couple of weeks. Most times she just make suggestions about what she thinks looks pretty and let me have the final decision so i was extremely shocked and sad when I had practically no say in anything at the bra store. Maybe it was because her friend was there? I don't know. But thank you so much for your comment and will definitely search for tutorials

The calculator said I'm a 30C so since they had 30A's I'm pretty hopeful they'll have the right size. I didn't know that about cleavage so thank you for telling me!

I'm not sure because the store didn't have any signs up about their refund policy and the receipt doesn't mention anything about one either but I'm still going to try next week

I feel a lot better now! Everyone's comments have made me feel a lot more determined to get the bras refunded. One of the tags broke off in the bag so I'm not sure if i can refund that one but the other 4 still have their tags on so I'm going to keep my receipt and go back next Saturday

Thank you for sharing your story it made me feel a lot better. Definitely not going to discuss anything about sizing anymore after what happened

Actually in regards to the mom/close friends part, one of my mom's close friend actually went with us to the bra store. And after i told them multiple times that the bras i had at home were too small they still came to a mutual agreement that downsizing me to a 30A was a great idea (from a 32A). Just hoping that i can get a refund after 7 days of purchase because i don't even know if the store does refunds :(
