I have been reading and getting really useful advice re measuring and bying bras on this forum. Such a help thanks to all who contribute.
I have recently lost weight and unlike before, when my last boobs have obstinately refused to shrink by even one cup size, my bras are definitely getting looser.
As I am planning on keeping going with the diet for another half stone, dont want to buy new bras yet. All of the reduction seems to be back fat rather than cups. As an interim measure I had a brainwave. I am quite handy with a sewing machine and have experimented on a couple of bra backs and made them smaller by 2" and the cups are still fairly ok for now.
The difference in support is amazing! I never knew till I read this forum that the band gives most of the support. I feel like a new woman!
Took me till I was 57 to realise that the straps do not do most of the supporting. Just wanted to share that with you !
