For those playing along at home. Here's the reveal. 80M - not sure what that is in real money?
Like you said though Margaret - it does look a fairly good fit, especially for a bra that large.
Four rows of fasteners - are there normally that many?
An 80M is a European size (Gorsenia is a Polish brand), which equates to about 36J in UK sizes (a 36M in US size is the same as a 36J UK).
I had said she was 30LL or 32LL (based on her having a slim back). I think she’s probably more like a 32JJ (sister sizing means if you go up a band size, you go down a cup size and vice-versa). She’s probably wearing a 36J because it fits her in the cups, but the band is probably really loose on her back (or she’s modified it).
Four rows of hooks and eyes aren’t uncommon - although most ‘big’ bras would be two or three rows. Most of my bras (32FF) are three rows. It’s a common misconception that the rows of hooks and eyes are for reinforcement - they’re not; they’re there to prolong the life of the bra. Bra material stretches over time through wear and tear, and laundering, so when you purchase a new bra, you should start on the widest setting of the hooks/eyes, and over time, you work your way in to the tighter setting to prolong the bra’s life. Of course, most women don’t know this, and instead wear the bra on a really tight or really loose setting for comfort - when, in fact, the back band is supposed to feel tight on (if it’s the correct size, that is), as the back band does 80% of the work in supporting your boobs.
