Hi, please would someone size me!

I'm 33 under and 39 "hanging over" but my boobs don't seem to have a lot of stuffing! I am currently wearing 34Bs and when I take them off in the evening, my boobs ache for ages!

Thank you lovely ladies!

SorrelForbes · 01/03/2013 11:19

Ooh. A mobile bra expert. StatisticallyChallenged, coming to a town near you! Bra fittings available!!

peppersaunt · 01/03/2013 11:20

Wearing 36B. Measured 32/37-38. Tried 34C but 34 always seems too small if I wear it more than an hour. Help!

StatisticallyChallenged · 01/03/2013 11:22

peppersaunt the 34 would have seemed too small because it was probably a bit tight in the cup. Try a 32DD and 32E

Also have massively saggy collapsed breast feeding boobs. Must hoick!!!

Thankyou AgathaF. I'm heading straight to debenhams in my lunch hour.

StatisticallyChallenged · 01/03/2013 11:24

Keeps, start with a 32F. You may also want to try a 32E, 34E and 34DD

Hoping nobody on the train is looking over my shoulder the amount of bra pages open!

Thanks so much SC! Will give it a go! I think the cup letter is a big psychological hurdle...

Jeeps · 01/03/2013 11:26

Thank you SC! My boobs just seem pretty small though and I can't imagine them filling a DD!

sparkle12mar08 · 01/03/2013 11:28

I may have missed it in the various amazing threads, but are there any brastop codes floating about? Am about to order three figures worth of bras Shock so would be nice to have a bit of a saving!

Not all D-cups are created equal image here

Can someone do me please?!

Not sure how tight to pull tape measure when doing the band measurement - it's 30 if just held around but can get it below 29 if I pull really tight. 38 round when bending over.

I tried to count myself but ended up in the GGs on a 28 band which I can't quite believe is true. DH will have heart failure Grin

StrawberrytallCAKE · 01/03/2013 11:42

I'm with you Jeeps mine are quite little too, I imagine dds to be able to fit on my head not my v small boobies...going to town as soon as the baby wakes up, this is very exciting. Thanks for the measuring!

StrawberrytallCAKE · 01/03/2013 11:46

DDs as in cup size, not my two daughters who I will not be putting on my head.

gingercat12 · 01/03/2013 11:48

Thanks for the advice. never would hsve thought of 32DD.

StatisticallyChallenged · 01/03/2013 11:50

ChickenLidl, try a 30FF to start with but do the tests at the top pf the thread to test fit of the 30 back. If you find it looser than described go down to a 28, and try a G/GG

Promise, you won't get a 32DD on your head!

CelticPromise · 01/03/2013 11:51

Popsicle start with a 30E.

Plopsicle · 01/03/2013 11:58

Yikes an E cup!

Thanks Celtic.

Seabright · 01/03/2013 11:58
