Over the weekend I've cleared out my wardrobe and bagged up the accumulation of random items that result from two pregnancies & bf-ing, weight gain, weight loss, and wear and tear. It all looks a lot better, and I'm planning a mixture of Ebay and charity shops to get rid of it.
It is all much improved now, except for bras. Most are a bit more like crop tops and are looking a bit saggy to say the least, but these are what I wear most of the time. I have two sports bras, which feel okay under the bust, but I come nowhere near filling the cups. I need to sort myself out!
Where do I start? I got the tape measure out today, and I'm 30" under the bust, and 33" round the fullest part (without a bra) and 33.5-34" with a bra. I saw some advice on here about measuring with my back parallel to the floor, and this gives me a cup measurement of nearer to 36". However my breasts look like a pair of icing bags and nozzles dangling from my chest when I do this. There's not much there, really.
My crop top style things are a 34" (no cup size) and my sports bras are 34A. The sports bras don't fit. The crop tops are comfortable enough, but don't do much shape-wise. But having spent a chunk of yesterday trying on loads of my clothes and deciding what actually fits these days, I'm left wondering if some more shape up top might actually help.
Lovely ladies, where do I start?!
