to find a bra that fits!

is there anyone else out there who just can't find a bra that fits?! I haven't got big boobs or anything but I can't find the right fitting bra. I've always had trouble and I don't understand. There rather too big or too small never just right. Was measure at boux 2019 and briefly did have bras that fit perfect and it was great! However they became misshaped and I began wearing dodgy fitting supermarket bras again.
I Went back to boux and got measured again earlier this week. bought three bras got home and after an hour of wearing them one boob starts to pop over the top. Tried them all they all do the same.
went back the next day and the manager of the store measured me said I'm defiantly a 32dd, she tried me with some different styles that seemed to fit perfectly in the shop but as soon as I started wearing them at home the same thing happens one boob pops out over the top!!!
I just want a bra that fits. I don't dare go back and get measured again. Why's it so hard?? Where can I go that will measure me right?

No. 1 Bras are great but you have to measure yourself

Hi OP, I really recommend getting a tape measure and trying the boob or bust method. Basically, most places measure incorrectly and add on an unnecessary “plus 4” to your chest measurement. I was wearing a 42dd but turns out I’m actually a 38gg/38h.

Lots of people do it and are surprised by their measurements and don’t think it’ll fit but they’re pleased. Please give it a go!

Try measuring yourself as per this guide - and believe in that measure

Go to Bravissimo or a John Lewis and get fitted there

You will probably be completely surprised by the measure but believe in it.

I have tried measuring but always seem to end up with a bad fit.
I'll try these different methods/calculators as well.

There's also a bra that fits

I don't find that moulded bras work well for me because you have to fit your boobs into their shape.

I prefer a bra in lots of different section that moulds to my shape (but also makes it look perkier!)
