It may be that your upper bust measurement would give you a better fit through the chest area.gwensewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809115166600229262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-67838596420487886032009-07-25T13:33:23.873-07:002009-07-25T13:33:23.873-07:00my motto is "if it works it's right"...my motto is "if it works it's right"<br />I have teh same proboem, so I'll try your tweak.
