Customer: “My daughter is looking for a bra with a lot of support. She’s having trouble with backaches and she’s very active.”Me: “Ok. To start with, I think she’s wearing the wrong size. I would suggest going down a band size and up a cup size, see how that feels, and then try something in the xxxx or xxxxx line. If she’s anything larger than a DD, I would recommend xxxxx brand, which unfortunately, you can’t get here, but has always been great for me. They’re not terribly pretty, but the extra support will help with her backaches and cut down on bouncing.”

Customer: “How do YOU know she’s wearing the wrong size. She’s wearing a sweatshirt!”

Me: “Well, because this *points to self* is what it looks like when you have a proper-fitting bra with excellent support. Now, I have to special order these online because you can’t get double-Fs anywhere in Connecticut, but this particular brand is definitely worth it, and I would suggest—”

Customer: “DOUBLE F? But… you look so—normal.”
