Right

I am 37" around the base of my boobs and 44" around them

I have all sorts of bra sizes from 34E, 36E, 38E, to 34F, 36F, 38F none of them fit comfortably and all cut in right below my boobs in the middle bit, so I have a really sore line.

I usually go for underwire

I am begging for help

M&S are just about the worst fitters in the UK - DO NOT go there! Have you posted on the other bra threads yet? From your measurements I'd start with a 36FF and also try a 36G.

MisForMumNotMaid · 27/02/2013 21:39

Roughly wouldn't that make you a 38 G. Isn't it 1 letter for each inch and round up to nearest round chest inch so 37 becomes 38 for the round measurement and each inch over 37 is one cup size so 44-37 = 7 roughly a G cup.

there is a big bra thread on here somewhere but with those measurements you could try a 36FF or 38E or F - try different styles and similar cup sizes using either the 36 or 38 back.

I will try and find the other thread

dani You've more chance of getting a decent bra fit by asking some random on the street to guess your size than you have of getting it done at M&S!

sparkle12mar08 · 27/02/2013 21:43

It's usually better to go down to the back size if you're in between, as when the bands stretch with use a bigger band size would end up being far too big. Just make sure you compensate properly in the cup measurement. Digging in a red welts are almost always symptomatic of too small a cup size, and are rarely to do with back size - get the back size right first and then sort the cup out.

green start with a 36FF and get yourself over to one of the long running bra threads where the experts hang out linked by hoop

"measuring, then adding" bollocks does not work

midastouch · 27/02/2013 21:59

I would try a 36F and go from there? have you got a bravissimo my mum has big boobs and she swears by them
