I have some like-new and new-with-tags clothing that I’d like to pass on to some new owners. Does anyone know of any community clothing swaps or have any community donation locations to recommend? I’m looking into women’s shelters and I’ve done food and hygiene product donations at a few, but I would love to hear what donation centers you trust around the Redmond, Kirkland, or Bellevue areas.

Note, ideally I would like to donate to a non-religious organization but my bigger priority is a functional and trustworthy one.

Went into a store today and spent a good 45 minutes trying on different shapes and sizes. I’ve been wearing a 36-38 B/C for the last few years but the ABTF tool put me at a 38DDD. Today I walked out with a 38D. The staff member helping me took out her personal phone and showed me three different diagrams with arrows and everything for the stoop and scoop technique for different body types. It was an absolutely wonderful experience.

When I was checking out, I was telling the woman who helped me all about my recent sizing and bra woes and another team member overheard. She walked slowly past us doing a little dance and singing, ~~~moderately sized titty committeeeee~~~. The Holy Spirit was with us in that bra store today. It made me feel so much better about everything I’ve been feeling about my boobs recently.

They both also told me that I might experience tissue migration over the next couple months and that I should come back in five or six months to try on a DD. Boobs are such a scam omg but whatever, I guess I’ll go hang out with these lovely woman again in six months, what a shame.

I completed the 6-part sizing tool as shared under the Beginner section on this page, and it told me I am a 38DDD. I am decidedly not a DDD of any kind; a staff member at my local store also measure me at a DDD and I walked out of the store with a C bra. When I buy sports bras, I size to the C cup on the chart.

I assume the issue is that I have non-breast volume at my back/underarm area right at the same location where the band and cup measurements are taken. So, the measurements are taking into account volume that won’t wind up in my cup. I’m very new to this community, so if anyone has any posts, tools, or other resources for this situation, I’d love to know anything you have to share!
