It didn't help that not only had Erica lost another outfit the night before, but that most of her other clothes was in the hamper. She would have to do a load of laundry as soon as she finished her shopping and got back to the campus.

Erica had just put on a bra over her shirt, but it wasn't fitting correctly. The measurements were the same as what she always bought, despite not wearing them that often, so she didn't understand what was happening.

"It looks like that size doesn't fit you anymore, sweetie." Erica jumped in surprise. Never before had one of the attendants at the department store every volunteered to assist her. "I'm sorry for scaring you."

"No problem," Erica stuttered in response.

The attendant came even closer and started poking at and examining the bra. "Definitely. You've outgrown this size of bra. When was the last time you measured yourself?"

"It's been years," Erica said. Her chest had remained the same size since it had stopped growing when she was fifteen.

The attendant seemed to pick up on her surprise. "It's completely normal. Plenty of young ladies experience some form of growth or change in their early twenties." She pulled out a coiled up tape measure from her pocket. "Now, let's take care of you."
