Bra intervention people - I finally have (I think) my measurements

7 replies

If I've done this correctly I am a 33 around the ribs just under bust and then when I bend down I measure 39 at the fullest part. Have I measured properly? Am about to order some nursing bras what size should I be trying? Am quite flat at the top part of the breast and generally go for balcony for the lift (saggy).

Hoping this will be the end of my bra woes!

Try a 32f and a 34e

But I don't have boobs Shock. Would i fill a bra that size? My chest really isn't what it was and really rather inadequate!

ok. going to trust you and order one in each of those sizes.

i dont usually fill a c cup properly, i have to kind of roll my boobs up to stuff them in and even then the bra cup gapes at the top. the fitter in JL said they didnt have anything suitable for me and i left in tears knowing i was a lost cause Sad.

Have just come back to say thank you. I ordered a new hot milk nursing bra in a 32 f and it fits. It's quite snug around the ribs but it actually feels as though it is holding everything in and up Smile The top still looks quite empty and flat but I think that's just my shape. Will this method work for all bras? Am so excited to have a bra that works!
