VS Shopping / Fitting


Raven1981

Recommended Posts

Hello All

 

So I wanted to share that I went shopping at Victoria Secret yesterday cause I needed to a new bra since things are starting to change.  I have been living in my sports bras so far cause how comfortable they are.  So When I went to Victoria Secret, I asked one of the sales rep. to measure me.  So she went and measured me and I found out that I am a 38B.  I know that the sales Rep. was doing her job but then instead of going back to doing what she was doing, she gave me extra help and attention with picking the correct and comfort bras.  She then helped me out in the fitting room as well with showing me the correct amount of spacing, how the adjustments go and to get the right feel.  She was just so wonderful.  She then while assisting me was trying to find the right way to ask me about being Trans and how my transition is doing.  I did not mind her asking and even let her know.  She was helping me out even more than the normal sales rep so much with making sure I got the right style, comfort fit and everything.  She was so caring when she helped me out.  So meanwhile I am happy with my fitting at VS and cannot believe how well the hormones are doing since I got measured and I am a B.  I would be happy with a little bigger to almost a small C.

 

Lots of Lave

Hi Amy,

 

  I like their bras and have several pushup ones from VS. They are a bit pricey, but they do have cute styles and ones I've brought do last. Glad to read about your good customer experience at one of their stores. You might consider writing the company to relay your positive experience to them, I am sure they would like that. The good news is there are many cute styles available from many different makers out there in 38b, I know I am the same size myself.

 

Enjoy

I'm so happy you had a good experience!  I've never done that but eventually I will.  There is a shop in the town nearby that just handles women's foundation wear.  My wife shops there.   As noted, bras are pricier but they seem to be better quality than mass market ones and the service is superb.  

 

Don't despair about size quite yet.  After about a year of stability I've have another growth spurt.  Remember that puberty takes multiple years!

Amy,

 

 

How awesome! I just recently started my growth spurt in the breast department, while as uncomfortable as it has been, I too find the sports bra compression makes it so much more comfortable. Another plus for me at the moment is that it hides it all while I am at work and in public as I have not went full-time yet. Can't wait for the experience!

 

Well wishes,

 

Kylie

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .

      I started feminizing HRT about 6-7 weeks ago. I began with what I called the beginner's patch. I immediately found myself wanting to level up to the next dose and did that this week (yay!). So far, I am enjoying the ride.   I've read everything I can find on this topic. For the HRT vets on here, what is reasonable to expect in terms of physical changes for someone starting in their 50s? I know "your mileage may vary." I guess I am curious if I stay on my current trajectory for six months, a year, multiple years, how pronounced will the physical changes be? Will I reach a point where it is totally obvious or will I land in a "middle zone" somewhere in which I could pass either way?   Thanks! Like I said I am enjoying the ride so far and always curious to know others' experiences. Not sure anyone else in my life will be excited about these moves I am making, but I have been over that in many places on here already so need to rehash... Love and blessings to all!   Easy

      Being admitted into the hospital after a long ER visit. I started passing lots of blood and they are keeping me for observation.    Nurse came in to see about a condom catheter, that of course doesn't work on me. 🤣   She said, "I guess we will use incontinence supplies on you."

      Yeah.  I think this is what it is about.  Since they are not transgender, nobody else could possibly be either.  I'm not sure that a cisgender person can understand being transgender.  But that hardly means that a transgender person's experience is not real - just because it is not theirs. Why is a transgendered person's experience not valid, while a cisgendered person's is?  Why should it be the cisgendered person that decides? Nobody is forcing a cis person to transition.  What I do for myself is my own business.

      I've been thinking it is a matter of belief.  They simply do not believe someone can validly be transgender and should not be allowed to practice their beliefs, but should be forced to practice their belief, that is, that there is no such thing as transgender and it is all mental illness/sin/hormonal imbalance.

      I am really kind of sick of everybody who is not transgender deciding on what we need and do not need in the way of procedures. They act like all of this is play acting, and we can just apply cosmetics to our entire body. It might be refreshing if someone asked us directly what services we need in order to transition. I could say more as I am frustrated, but I do not want to violate the TOS.

      I discovered her "Whipping Girl" when my egg first cracked.  It helped me understand some things.
