Desperately need bra help!

[PeachTrees]

I didn't want to gatecrash the other thread

I'm going shopping today for new bras...but I'm not near any shops that do fittings except M&S and they were rubbish last time. I've just done measurements, underneath and over the bust leaning over. is this correct?

band is 35 inches , and bust is 41

looking on different web sites I've had 3 different sizes

The website used for recommendations is thebetterbracampaign.blogspot.co.uk/p/fitting-advice.html?m=1
I'm on mobile so link might not work. Or there is a good guide on the bravissimo site. I think that would make you between a 34f and a 36e but I'm not 100 sure

well 36e was one of the sizes I got. im wearing a 38b and was measured a 36c in m&s when I was pregnant a year ago.

thank you for the link

34E/F or 36DD/E - you will need to try each to see what fits best

if you scoop do you get overspill? You can probably pull your existing one away from your body quite a bit too.

M&S put me in a 38d. I'm actually a 34ff or thereabouts depending on brand.

yes to overspill, but not a lot and yes I can pull the bra away from my body surprisingly far . Im finding it hard to believe as my boobs don't look like DD s

I had tissue coming out the sides when I was measured in there. the woman was adamant she had got the right size.

not all DDs are the same though I.e. a DD on a 34 back is not the same cup volume as a DD for a 38 band as the cup size means nothing without the back size

38B has the same cup volume as 36C and 34D

thank you for this , I'm clueless .

I haven't got time to try on bras , can you return bras?

Yes as long as they still have the tags on.
You can also get good deals from brastop and amazon

thank you! I don't want to spend a fortune as I'm doing slimming world
