I measurement myself as per the insructions, with a firm fitting bra on etc etc, worked out the measurements and the bra's have just arrived, they are nice, except that they are a little bit big at the front, so I will need to return them, as I had always been the same size for years until weight gain, I cant remember if that means I have to drop down a cup size of size of the bra, ie a d instead of a dd or 36 instead of 38. TIA
