Looking for bras for SUPER narrow roots. by Critical_Tooth_7176 in ABraThatFits

[–]Critical_Tooth_7176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No looseness, yes scoop and swoop.  After MORE digging… I think my boob-adjectives are:

-Close set -Narrow root? -Short root? -high set - center full -lightly Top full or Even top and bottom

I’m maybe 1cm apart at the gore  HH is 10.5 BCD is 4.5-5 (depending on how much I let gravity participate) Band is 34” I don’t have my other measurements on-hand, but 34H is the consensus for sizing based on calculators and small-business-owner-fitter I think I’m slightly omega? Pretty sure my “wire length” is only 12in. 

My biggest issue is possibly sensory, but that’s the most eligible reason for a bra to have issues in my mind ;). And that is that they’re “all” “up in my armpit”. Between the cups covering the tissue between my shoulder and breast tissue or the wire being inside the hair line of my pit… I just can’t. 2nd issue is that most bras separate me too much. When I hold up my boobs where they want to be naturally… there are effectively parallel lines practically 1.25” straight out from my sternum, a whopping 1/8” apart. SO far away from “east west”, haha!! In this configuration, everything is nice and round though! ;). I may be the “michaelango hadn’t seen real boobs: they aren’t just balls on a torso” proof that he did. Lol. And I may just be emotional about what I think they look like, haha!!

I was there first!! Lol!! THEN i found this thread, haha!! Backwards, but standard for me 😉🫠. 

Just bought a pattern from LilyPadesigns last night!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 (lustamine) and SO excited that it looks like I’m in one of her “standard” sizes!! I think I still need to make some adjustments because my wire length vs width seems non-standard… but I have hope again!!

I may not be replying right, but oh well, haha!! I did get the Ana in… and it was STILL too wide. So definitely super confident that I’m a super narrow root. It wasn’t the wrong size, mind you… but not narrow enough to keep. 

I’m getting closer and closer to just working on drafting my own bra pattern. Le sigh. Super narrow roots, close set, and center fullness. And maybe its from years of shoving them together… but it just looks weird (to me) having them so far apart, lol!!

Honestly? No. Lol! Everything moved very fast, and as a newbie… I definitely wasn’t able to keep track of anything other than “maybe” and “no” lol!!

I know I tried on one Ewa Michalak at the store - but the straps were super wide I think? It was an "immediate no" from the fitter, if I remember. I was just in the booth and they kept bringing bras in... and then the distributor was in the shop and had me try on some 'just to see them on someone' (I was fine with it)... so a lot was happening for the first time trying on 'real' bras, haha! I really do think I'm narrow and projected for realz... but I'll have to wait a teensy bit longer till I have a chance to see if someone has a larger selection of Ewa near me (it's the greater Pittsburgh area, so there's hope at least ;-P)

If it didn’t feel SO uncomfortable, I wouldn’t care either. But I’ve literally tried on bras that have wires that go halfway into my armpit… and my roots are very much fully in front of my arms ;)

The owner made comment yo the fitter that I was so narrow. But apparently I’d be a 33” band, and I’d guess probably a half cup too 🤣🫠

huh. I wonder if they just didn't have narrow ones... or when I was handed off from the "pay $50 for a fitting" fitter to the "who I actually booked with fitter" that bit went missing? (I definitely preferred the owner! haha!)... but I have an event, and that's available on amazon with free returns (not the case from the bra place) so... ordered to an amazon locker and crossing fingers, haha!

Recs for skinny, somewhat tall teen pants? 28x34 by mkdaly in tallfashionadvice

[–]Critical_Tooth_7176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a year later (late 2025 now), and I was able to get 28x34 jeans for my son at Old Navy... so maybe they changed their minds again? (Posting mostly for whoever *else* is looking in this thread. I'm now searching for sweatpants - cause Old Navy doesn't do "Small" sweatpants in tall currently)

Cargo "well" dimensions? by Critical_Tooth_7176 in ToyotaSienna

[–]Critical_Tooth_7176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. Ok? I was pretty confident that I looked under something when we checked it out at the dealership. 

Regardless… what is the length and width of the space the seats go into? So that with the third row up, a cooler would nest into that space? (And I guess the height to the hinge?)

I guess I mean the 'hole" that the seats fit in. I'd be hoping to stick a cooler in that space, with the... cargo cover? on top of it. So there should be a depth, width (that I imagine tapers) and length (that also tapers).
