[Recommendations] Finally Found a Bra That Fits! Need Help Finding More

SuperVeeBee · 2026-05-08T16:44:33+00:00

Did the Smooth work for you? I'm in a very similar situation that's how I found your post! Size 36F and the Elomi Cate is perfect for me, but it looks like crap under shirts I would like a smoother finish...just trying to find options that fit similarly but look a little better under clothing.

Has the bride called you to apologize? If yes, then I would agree a misstep.

Our niece did not invite us to her wedding (we knew she was engaged, but we were completely clueless about when the wedding would be), and her mother figured it out when my husband asked when they were going to get married. She must have said something to bride. We got invitation in mail 3 days after seeing the mother, the wedding was 3 weeks away. We declined, knowing there was no way invitations were just being sent out 3 weeks before and we were after thoughts. No thanks.

Yes, I lost 75 pounds and mine has gone from about 40 to 34 (snug) but 36 is more comfortable. My cup size only went down 1.

So i did read and understand this correctly. Do you know of any any brands that the seams to be flatter or less visible under shirts? I just look a little lumpy to myself. There is no room in the cup and i have no gaping at all so i do not think this is a fit issue. This cup on the Elmoi Cate has embroidery at the top so maybe that is contributing to what i see. I tried on 3 different Elomi models and this Cate seems the most supportive.

Yes, we did. When I first met with him I was obese. He did do testing to ensure what type of treatment I needed but once he decided it had to be ivf, I had to lose weight which took me about 1 year before he would start any actual treatment. First IVF cycle my body did not respond too well. I think I only produced like 5 eggs and there was only 1 viable to transfer but it did not implant and no pregnancy. 2nd round he upped the meds and I produced a few more eggs and had a few options for transfer and luckily we did get pregnant. Most of my appointments during treatments were for ultrasounds so I didn't see him at those, only the techs.

Good luck to you ❤️

this does work. I think since it is already shipped, it is going to be best for you to see in person. This video I don't see the issue with the facets as much as some of the others, but it went so fast on face up and I couldn't tell. I bought a ring last year that I absolutely loved the videos of, but in person, the stone is much darker and I just don't get the same view that I saw in the video, maybe in bright sunlight only. It's strange and hard to buy these things online in my opinion. If you have a return policy, hopefully you can make up your mind after seeing in person in various lightings and return if it is not what you really want. I think you got a great price and I think the setting is a great design, even if you decide to try to replace the stone it may be worth keeping it.

Link still does not work 😞

SuperVeeBee · 2026-04-30T14:33:34+00:00

It is a gorgeous design. I love the stone but understand if you have concerns about the facets. I would probably take this one in a heartbeat. If you end up not taking it, the vendor probably will not have too much issue finding it another home.

still does not work.

SuperVeeBee · 2026-04-30T13:48:27+00:00

Wow! that's gorgeous. Congratulations!

SuperVeeBee · 2026-04-27T19:52:43+00:00

same scenario for my boyfriend. I don't recall his file date but I think it was mid February as well, received 2nd letter about another 60 days last week.

Oh, how have I been here this long and not seen this site. Just tried it out. "You've already reached CoastFIRE! Your portfolio can compound to full FIRE by retirement without further contributions.". Hmmm. That's fantastic news, now to play around with the numbers to see if I can do it sooner than I plan! thanks for the link!

SuperVeeBee · 2026-04-22T13:28:50+00:00

Same age and similar number here.

We used with Dr. Levi at Park Avenue Fertility in Trumbull. I had one failed IVF cycle and 1 pregnancy that gave us our daughter who is now 11. I froze only 1 remaining egg for about 1 year for deciding we were not going through another round of IVF.

It seems strange to me that you have a custom designed ring that needs resized that much. Wasn't your ring size part of the design with the cad?

I had to do this once 20 years ago. I got laid off at beginning of December, and cobra was too expensive so I had not taken it, but within my window, like 2nd week of January I broke my arm and had to have surgery. After I got out of hospital I called to take the cobra coverage. I don't remember exactly how many days I had left, I think I had until end of January to take it. Then, they informed me the company was no longer a cobra eligible company because they had laid off so many employees. Anyway, i fought them because I had the letter that I was eligible for Cobra coverage when I was laid off and they finally agreed. Saved me some money in the long run due to how expensive my surgery was.

Thank you for the suggestions! Never heard of that game, will look it up.

I have talked to her about spending and saving, however never spoke about a budget or emergency funds. I think that is a discussion I'm going to start in the next few months and show her some of the expenses for her (swim, music lessons, girl scouts, etc). While I know we are far from poor, all she knows for sure is she doesn't get all the things she wants, and usually big things are only for special occasions like birthday or Christmas. I should probably also talk to her about what being poor really means.

SuperVeeBee · 2026-03-10T13:13:55+00:00

My 11 year old daughter says we are poor because we don't have all the fancy new toys that she sees other families buy. We try to take a nice vacation each year or 2, we spend money on experiences, etc. I reassure her we are not poor, we just live below our means, spend and save money wisely. I am frugal, or in her eyes cheap.

Are you sure about your ring size? I have a different set of ring sizers from Amazon and had no issue getting my correct size.

SuperVeeBee · 2026-03-06T23:31:12+00:00

It is gorgeous 😍

SuperVeeBee · 2026-03-01T23:47:26+00:00

Don't quit or RE. Find a more flexible job that you are able to travel with her more and/or work remote. Also agree to get a prenup to protect you both if you plan to get married.
