    Necklemanns question (again)

    I know we've had tons of necklemanns threads... I'm looking for a purple costume, and I've eyed a few of Necklemanns...what's the sizing like? I keep seeing 34B-C sizing and wondering if it will be too big for me. I wear 32B in street size...

    Anyone selling a purple costume for a petite dancer? Would have to be in the $250 range or less.

    5 years ago, when I ordered one the bras ran a little small. I had to order one size up.

    you can always pad................they use street bras so they're CLOSE to true bra size

    I have two Neckelmann costumes, both are one size above my street size (one in cup, one in band-size). One fits perfect, the other could have a wee bit more coverage.

    Thanks. I too am looking into a Neckelmann's. So, the larger cup size fit you perfect? So if I'm a 34D street size I would want a 34DD for a perfect fit or a 36D if I was OK with a bit of cleavage?
    Good to know before I order.

    Re: Necklemanns question (again)

    I'm sure it depends on the specific bra they use as a base. I'm a 36C street, and the 36D-tagged Neckelmann top fits as if it was made for me. the 38C-tagged bra gives me more cleavage. But, the base bras are a different brand, as well, which is most likely a factor in the observed differences.

    Oh yeah, the bra would be a little, uh, minimal on you!

    I'll try to remember to bring it to troupe on Sunday.
