Bra intervention help!

Hope someone can help!

Have measured around ribs just underneath - 29.5, and around fullest part - 37

Now, what size does that equate to?!

Thank so much in advance

Bras all vary a bit but you should be trying 28-30 D or DD I think. What are you in at the mo?

I've been wearing 36-38 D or DDs until I saw this method. Now 34 or 36F, which makes buying bras a lot more difficult, but also more satisfying as they fit so much better now!

Try a 30f and ff to start.

Thanks for your prompt replies ladies!!

Quite a difference between a 30d - ff

Guess need to try on. Currently wearing a 32b/c but doesn't fit well. Used to be 32dd/e but 3rd set of breastfeeding seems to have emptied my boobs for good, though annoying am left with 1 side bigger than other. Which GP says is very common - but also very annoying for buying bras!!

Thank you!

It's one cup size per inch so 7" difference is an f cup, 8" is a ff. A dd is for a 5" difference

OOh sorry, I was thinking one cup per jump in size (2 inches!) Thought it sounded a bit small.

Easy done, I frequently end up counting on my fingers!

Marvellous. Off to Bravissimo asap!
