You've intervened before bit now I've lost weight!

Under - 32"
Over - 37.5" (take. At 90 degree angle)

What size should I try?
Thanking you!

Try a 32E. What size are you wearing at the moment?

FunkyBarnYardBroom · 24/05/2014 14:20

34DD

Ok, so a 32E would be the same volume cup. How is the 34DD fitting? I expect the band is too loose but how are the cups? If you 'scoop', is there any overspill?

I can pull the band away from my chest. I have moulded cups and I have a but of gaping. Defo no over spill!

Ok, try a 32E but be prepared to try a bigger cup as well. Moulded cups gape on many people, they are hard to get a good fit with.

So I tried on a 32e today. It felt very tight and I couldn't loosen the straps enough to make it feel comfortable. It was the only one in the shop. Will try again somewhere else!

What brand/style was it and did you try it back to front first to test the band?

FunkyBarnYardBroom · 26/05/2014 08:47

I only have Matalan nearby. It was moulded cups. I tried it on backwards because it felt so tight I couldn't actually do it up behind my back!

I have no idea about Matalan sizing as they don't stock my size. I wouldn't be surprised if their sizing is a bit skimpy! Moulded cups are hard to get a good fit with too so try to find some unpadded styles to try if you can.
