An "itty bitty" story

Madisonpenny

So yesterday I had my 1st official dress fitting. 
Back in January I met the seamstress and she told me that she would need to fix the length of the skirt and adjust the fit around my chest.
Well since then I've been trying to keep up with my fitness when I can and when I'm feeling good. Because I've gained muscle tone in my chest, the seamstress no longer has to adjust the fit around my chest. Awesome, money saved. 
Well I'm over the moon and my neighbor knew that I was going to have my dress fitting because she saw me put my dress in the car.  Last night, FI and I decided to take the dogs for a short walk around the block and we run into our neighbor whose coming back from their walk. She asks how my fitting went. This is our conversation...

Me: Awesome, I no longer have to get the chest adjusted because I've gained muscle tone and I guess it's made me slightly larger in the chest

Her: (points at my chest) THOSE itty bitty things! (and bursts out laughing and can't catch her breath)

I'm serious.  That's how it went with no word of a lie.
Here's some stats on my body proportions...
I'm 5'4 and I weight 104 lbs.  My bra cup is a B.  I hardly call my chest "itty bitty"

Her husband must have heard us because he came to my rescue with " Well they must have gotten big enough that she no longer needs alterations"..

I was so insulted and upset (and still am) that I just grabbed the dog leashes and started walking away.  I've never been self-conscious about my body and especially not my chest but with a comment like that it's all I think about.  Later that night I spoke to FI about it and he tried to make me feel better with saying " Well you know Andrea.. what have I told you before? More than a handful is a waste and besides think of it this way, you won't have back problems because of it"  I Love him

Tonight when I saw FI's mom, I just had to vent.  When I told her she laughed out of shock and then just told me I had nothing to worry about and that she was actually secretly jealous of mine.. All I could say was Thanks..lol.  I lover her too.

Please tell me I'm not crazy for being insulted

You're not crazy. To make you feel better, I am smaller than you...haha!

You're not crazy.  Your neighbor is a weirdo.

You're not crazy! I'm smaller than you too and would be super offended if someone said that to me. An ex's Mom was named Andrea and she said inappropriate things all the time- maybe it's something with the name!

You're not crazy at all! I have b-cups and I hate when people call me small.

you aren't crazy, that was inappropriate of your neighbor.  And your FI is right, you won't have back problems.  My back hurts a lot of the time, especially when I'm working out.  Bigger is NOT better.

Uh... That was just rude. I can't believe she would say something like that to another woman! We all know how we need to avoid saying things that may offend another woman's body especially if we're talking to them!

But seriously, you have boobs- your B cup says it all! I have some friends who have practically nothing. 2 of my BMs have nothing, really.

All of my dresses have always needed to be taken down in the chest area. Sometimes I wish I had more boobs!

Whoops sorry! I assumed your name was Madison and misread your OP. You seem nothing like the Andrea in my life!

oh my ggoosshhhhh your neighbor is SO rude and clearly delusional. You are a very small girl and it sounds like your chest size fits your figure beautifully. I am MUCH bigger than you body wise (5'10'' and 160 lbs) and I am also a B cup! every body is different and this girl is a biscuit for even commenting about yours. 

I would be super pissed off if I were you so you aren't crazy at all.  Just know that she is the one with the issues - not your chest. And your fiance is for sure a keeper

AWWW Thanks girls..  feel better!
