at 40 years old....?
In my day to day working life i wear a none wired bra as my job involves a lot of moving i find it more comfortable.
However, sometimes i want the lift and shape of wired.
Ive been measured, not recently mind, but the wired bras have always been uncomfortable. They dig into my upper arms when i move them. The wire isnt flush to my chest at the side which implies the cup size is incorrect right?
the cups themselves have a gap at the top between the bra and my breast
The middle section doesnt sit flush against my sternum, it gapes away and digs in at the sides
The back straps sits where it should, it doesnt ride up, and i can comfortable fit my fingers under the band
the shoulder straps sit in the right place
So logically, i thought the cups were too big, i went down one cup size and it was far too tight
so i went down one cupsize and up one band size. Even more uncomfortable
Ive measured myself using calculators and the original bra says the correct size. But it hurts, i gapes, it digs into my inner arms all day. This is with multiple diff styles, i have full cup tshirt, plunge, and balconette, none of them feel like they fit me
please tell me how a bra should fit and how to find my correct size.
Theres no where local to me that offers measuring, even the local M&S has shut down i recent years, so that isnt really an option as i dont drive to get to a major city.
