Does anyone else find that a horrendous name, esp for a bra shop? What is it supposed to mean? Is it transliterated from Korean, or just a stupid nonsensical name? |

So a 36C western is 75D Korean?!
I am desperate for some new bras, too.. I am tired of my nursing bras....
Problem is that I am still nursing and my boob size changes ALL THE TIME.. I went from like 38D at the height of my nursing days to now a 36C and I am told that I will only get smaller when my milk dries up completely  |

According to the Korean transliteration, it is aeh-meh, not aimer as we would pronuounce it (as in someone who aims)...
And it's a Japanese brand, btw. |

I have a question...
Are the sizes shown on this website (aimer feel) universal as far as KOREA is concerned?
Like, according to the site i am an 80D but am I 80D for all other Korean brands? |

I really couldn't say...
But I wandered around the Mall today and picked up 2 new bras... and Aimerfeel has 30% off everything until Monday. Yay.
Right near it is a shop called UNIQLO. I was in China last week and picked up a couple of sweaters at one (cheaper in China) but here in Seoul they have CASHMERE sweaters (t-necks, v-necks and cardigans) for 50,000 won. Seriously - nice stuff. I'm getting 2 next payday.
Also, in Korea, I'm usually an extra large.... (but a small or medium TOPS in Canada) but the ones I tried on, I'm a sexy medium or corporate large, and the sizes go up to extra large.
A gal needs her cashmere... |

| They did a piece on Oprah about the correct bra size. Women that came on there that were 36B were "perfectly" fitted to be a 34H or a 38A. Some of the correct bra sizes went up to something like J. I didn't even know they went up to J!!! |

I'm 36B and come out to 75C... but it might vary.
The gal at aimerfeel looks like she's either seriously blessed/cursed, or invested in some implants... she knows the score with trying to "give the gals a home". Let her help you... Unless you need a new bra, NOW, from online... |

It's grammatically and lexically nonsensical. Aimer is the infinitive 'to love' in French. |

I don't live in Seoul. Anyway.. I ordered some bras online from the UK, where I know my size is 36C, really...
If you are 36B and a 75C Korean.. then the website is wrong, because the way they teach you to measure, your bra size is however large your chest size is, which, for me is 80 (well, 79.5), which means that I should be wearing size 80 and a D cup.. I plucked all that in in the calculator provided by the website where I have now bought some new bras from, and it turned out to be 36C.
This is why I am awfully confused. |

I just used the victoria's secret website to try to sort it out...
http://www2.victoriassecret.com/html/custsrvc/sizecharts/
I have one Korean bra that I was fitted for here and according to that international chart, it corresponds perfectly with my American bra...
Hope the chart helps! |
