Bras - if the only bra you can get round you is a 38 inch one, then

[HappyAsEyeAm]

it must be a 38 (or bigger) inch bra that fits, right?

I ask this, as the only bra I can get to actually go round me, and not leave horrible red lines (in every style) around my back is a 38 inch. And as I am quite small in the cup size, it is only an A cup that my boobs fit into, as every other cup size is just too baggy.

But my friend and my mum are adamant that I cannot possibly be a 38 inch, as they say I'm much smaller than that, and I wear a size 10 in a top (fitted tops and loose tops).

I find the thought of being measured horrendous - I really don't want a stranger measuring me in a changing cubicle.

I'm 34 ff . M & S size 16 T shirts .
I find M & S bras badly fitting .
I would suggest going to an old fashioned independent Bra shop .
The fitters don't measure you , just hand you loads of bras in the approximate estimate size , and keep handing bras in until you find one that fits comfortably .
I went in an uncomfortable 38 c and came out a happy and comfortable 34ff .
