Need a bra expert. Confused.

I was intervened a few months ago.

I vaguely remember my measurements being 33" under and -38" over.

I've been wearing 32Fs mostly and have been happy with the fit. I'm still wearing most of them on the loosest hook so don't think I need a looser band.

I've lost a reasonable amount of weight since almost 2 stone and I feel as though there is a gap in the top of my bra cups so thought I would remeasure.

My measurements are
32" very tight under and 41" over bending over
by my calculations that puts me in 32H which clearly isn't right based on the fit of my 32Fs.

is my tape measure lying or my bras lying or can I just not work them out..

I get it to 32G. Maybe it is a style issue rather than size

I'm not sure how you could have lost 2 stone in weight but gained 3 inches on your bust. Unless you are pg ?

Nope not preg.

Just very long and saggy when bending over.

I did say that I thought my previous measurements were 38" I know it was 33" under. And I think I measured a E but the F was a better fit.

TBH I prpbably am pre menstrual but my current bras (admittedly most the same in diff colours) are definitely gaping.

Can I just jump on for a second and ask how tight you pull the tape measure when measuring your boobs? Is it with you bent forwards, them dangling and the tape just touching? (In which case I'm massive?!) thanks!!

Can you go into a store and try some on? I measure up at 30F or 30FF following big weight loss, but its mainly because my boobs have next to no consistency now. I have found through trying on that 30DD actually fits best (with all of the minimised back fat/back band creating the support, central gore where it should be etc. things).

I'm not 100% sure but I think if you measure around the nipples stood up, then bending over and go for something in the middle if your a bit long and flat
