I am currently wearing a 36C bra. Have done for ages.
They dont fit at all. My boobs fall out of the bottom. I am rather small of nork since losing weight. My top half is a size 8 to 10.
MIL has given me a £100 next voucher to go and get some new bras and pants.

How the fuck do i measure myself? Without a bra my boobs are so flat and saggy.

Please help

I went to Bravissimo yesterday. They were brilliant!
I have lost weight and was still wearing my old 42b. Came home with a lovely 34d.

You might have to adjust going up a back and down a cup of vice versa

I was in a 44D, now I'm in a 40F, although it's changed since I've been pregnant. I get much more support from a smaller back and my straps don't fall down as much

That makes no sense!

32D could be 30DD or 28E

After much time spent in john Lewis. I am now the proud owner of 32D bras!
I put one on yesterday to go out (clothes on Aswell obviously Wink ) and DP Said "omg you have boobs!).
My life has been revolutionised. No more boob falling out underneath and constantly having to re adjust. And clothes fit so much better now!

See I told you you had boobs

Well done to your DP for stating the obvious < simple male >

I bet you look fab , well done . You deserve to feel great about yourself , you have worked so hard to lose the weight

So have you bought any other new clothes yet ?

I am in the process of shifting 5 stone and am currently a size 16-18. I'm finding it hard to get anyclothes that fit nicely, so thought I'd try with a good fitting bra first. Because I am planning on losing even more weight, I was hoping to pick up just a couple of bras to see me through and don't want to spend a lot (maybe £10 a bra if that's feasible).
I've measured using the method described on the website and have come out at 37" underneath and 44" around the boobs. Could anyone please advise that I am reading it right that I should try a 36E and a 38E? Is it possible to get 'cheap' good-fitting bras in these sizes?
Thanks in advance Smile

Absolutely. Try Debenhams Gorgeous range as they often have a clearance rail. Size up though as they run small in the band and cup. There are some good online sites: My Curves and Me, Brastop, Figleaves. Amazon and eBay are also great for bargains.

Try a 36F/FF and 38E/F. I expect the 36 will be better for you. Be prepared to go bigger in the cup if you need to.

Great! Thank you Flowers

Yes I've bought tons of new clothes. It was my birthday last week so DP treated me to a shopping trip. Just need the weather for all the dresses I've bought now :)
