Hello my fellow PLUSanista’s, yes I’m back! As mentioned in the previous post, I’m here to transform the PLUS-SIZE world one B.G.D. at a time. If you forgot what B.G.D stands for or didn’t read my first post, then please allow yourself to exit this post now to do so. Thanks!! Now let’s begin. Everyone knows how important a great start or foundation is to anything you do in life, so we are going back to the basics. One of the most important must haves for a true PLUSanista, or hell for any woman is THE BRA!!!!!! Statistics show that between 70-85% of woman are wearing the wrong size bra. I’m sure if plus size woman were polled the number would probably be higher. There is clearly a bra epidemic because Oprah dedicated an entire show to it!!!! PLEASE don’t front like your bra is on point at all times cause I know better and at times I still fall short!
There are 3 categories that will classify you as a B.G.D. ASAP!!!!
1) Your bra band being SO BIG it creates the dreadful BACK FAT

2) Your bra offering so LITTLE SUPPORT that everyone who comes in contact with you wonders do you have one on and if you do why in the hell did you even bother? Truly some of your breasts are dragging so low I see sparks! Please ladies take head to what I’m saying. Now I know everyone doesn’t want there breasts touching their chin like me, but we have got to do better!

3) Your bra being so TIGHT and SMALL your breast are being pushed out the side, coming out the bottom and even spilling over the top like muffins. This is just a plain out cry for help from your bra honey!!!!

The beauty of the situation is that you don’t have to stay a B.G.D., YOU CAN GET UP!!! Below is a chart that comes from LaneBryant.com that shows you the correct way to measure yourself for your correct bra size. If you aren’t comfortable doing so, I know most stores with lingerie departments will do it for you so there are no excuses!
- Wrap the tape measure around your chest, just beneath the breasts.
This is your band size (example: 38"). - Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your breasts. This is
your bust size (example: 41"). - Subtract the band size from the bust size (example: 41"-38" = 3").
Match your final number (example: 3) to the corresponding cup sizes
below. (example: 3 = C cup. This bra size is a 38C.)
2 inches = B cup
3 inches = C cup
4 inches = D cup
5 inches = DD cup
6 inches = DDD cup
7 inches = F cup
8 inches = G cup
9 inches = H cup
Now that I have helped you up it’s up to you to stay up by buying the proper bras! Please don’t use cost as an excuse either because a good bra is a necessity. If you don’t know where to look, check out some of the links to the left. I have also provided you with links to information on the proper care, how to get the best fit and any other information you may need. It’s in your best interest to check it out!!! Don’t be a B.G.D.!! Until we meet again, your B.F.F. (Beautiful.FlawlessFigure.and Fabulous)
