38dd!

    I knew that might get your attention gents.

    OK here's the quandary....Herself went to buy a bra yesterday, decided to get properly measured and lo and behold found out she's a 38DD.

    Perhaps the foreknowledge of my obvious pleasure was enough, but she came home grinning like a Cheshire cat.

    Having laboured under the impression she was a 42C for some time now, my problem is this; How do I celebrate?! (and try not to appear entirely smug too...)

    Such a momentous occasion demands proper recognition and I don't want to go off half-cocked with some half hearted plan.

    Suggestions on a post card etc etc :D

    At 38dd i seriously doubt you will be half cocked!!!!!

    Eh, what's the point of this? It's not like they have gotten bigger? It's just a measurement, they haven't changed at all.

    I second what xavi6 said. Pics or you're lying. Congrats for bagging a girl with the aforementioned rack though.

    May I suggest a swingers party to celebrate. A low key one though. You don't want to make it too obvious that you're showing off.

    Celebration for an occassion like this can be summed up in 1 word....MOTORBOAT :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭DJ_Spider


    Buy a really good camcorder and make an in depth documentry shoing them in detail, then post it on youtube and post the link here! :p

    Isn't 42C the exact same as a 38DD?


    Anyways, lucky and all that you are, its luckier to be able to look down and see them anytime :p.

    How you work that out? I'm no expert but I thought...

    42C - 42inch chest
    3 inch bust.

    38dd - 38inch chest
    5 inch bust.

    Suggestion OP; (. ):eek:( .)

    you are so asking the wrong group of people about that. (well except for smellyirishman who has just outed himself as a tranny:D)

    I think its something to do with actual volume.


    when you measure the ban a 38 is not a 38 its actually a 35 inch, then you add 3 inches to that. Then measure the cup and the difference between the cup and the band size gives you the cup letter.

    So chest measurement=35=38
    Cup= 42
    Final Bra =38DD.


    Now I'm going to have a beer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,406 ✭✭✭✭justsomebloke


    I have no idea what you just said so I think you should demonstrate this theory to me this evening ;)


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 13,425 ✭✭✭✭Ginny


    I wouldn't want to give you a heart attack:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,406 ✭✭✭✭justsomebloke


    I think I'll take my chances


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,173 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    I don't think it's the cup sizes she was grinning about, but the numbers. Imagine going to the tailor tomorrow and he told you that you'd lost four inches off your waistline....

    Same for her - You're not fat love, you've actually just got big boobies. Happy days.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 13,425 ✭✭✭✭Ginny


    M'eh she was never fat, she was measured incorrectly, and 42 IMO would not be "fat" she could just have a broad back:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,173 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Yeah. I'm a male with a 44" chest. It's totally the fault of my "broad back" ;)


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 13,425 ✭✭✭✭Ginny


    Ah but your chest is 44" hers is actually only 35" ( as you add the extra 3 to it :p )


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 155 ✭✭Knee-Vee


    Thing about it is, this means she can get bras that really fit her body and support her boobs now as opposed to kinda fit and mostly feel comfortable. (Also there's that "YAY! I have nice big boobies!" thing... or maybe that's just me)

    I think it's about 70% of women wear the wrong bra size, correct me if I'm wrong here. We're meant to be re-measured every 6 months or so.

    :confused: I'll take your word for it.

    JSB - I just want women keeping their goods looking their best for my daily appreciation.

    Woooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh there.

    This is BGRH. We aren't interested in the science of measuring boobies. We just want to know that they are big.:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 757 ✭✭✭milod


    Wayhay! Motorboat wins the day! an understated evening of tinnies for me, a fruit based cocktail for herself ,and a motorboat to round off the evening...

    And to those who think 42C is the same as 38DD - you'd want to see the difference the correct bra size makes! GinnyJoe take note :D

    Photo's, erm, have plenty, but she'd absolutely kill me if I passed them round - her hobby is Muay Thai kick-boxing so I'm not taking any risks showing her face here...

    So she bought some lingerie to celebrate, which I duly accessorized for her (This is as far as I'll go with accessorizing btw)...

    Sometimes it is useful to know the full picture.

    *Bangs head against wall* Of course the new bra looks good, it fits her now!!!
    She was measured wrong.
    Its got to do with some places adding the wrong number of inches to the original band size, some add 5 giving 42 some add 3 giving 38.

    And its GinnyJo, and since I have a pair of the aforementioned boobs I can promise you I know a bit more about sizing then you.:D
