I've measured using the method as 30 under 38 over.
Currently wearing 32dd which fits ok but rubbing abit under my arm.
Got it from debenhams even though I knew I'm not a 32 back she didn't have anything in 30 e ee except one horrible thing. Obviously not good value for money starting on the middle or tightest clasp.
I just want some pretty or sexy bras without spending a fortune.
Looking to order from pour moi or bra stop

Have ordered 4 styles in different sizes 30 e and f and a couple 32dd in the sale pour moi have some very pretty things for good prices so hoping some of it fits.

Your measurements would suggest 30ff as a starting point. I buy my Debenhams bras online as they rarely have my size in store, could you order a few of the same style in different sizes and return the ones that don't fit?

Thanks Russell. Debenhams website wouldn't let me pay which was a shame as they had 2 packs on sale for about 8 quid. I gave up with them in the end and no point going into town as I know they don't have much choice in anything near my size
Hoping the ones I've ordered will fit I've ordered 3 bras in both 30 e and 30 f.

I'm the same measurement as you and I'm not full on top. I wear Cleo Maddie 30ff.

Ps before I had a bra intervention I wore 32dd...

crownedbunny · 30/01/2018 20:59

Leaning forward I measured 38 but standing straight 36. Think the 30f will be my best bet.

Thanks Passthecake30, I know I'm not 32dd but it was all debenhams could offer that wasn't beige or a t shirt bra. Bit of a poor show really.
Now worried I might have to send all the bras back and go bigger to 30ff but fingers crossed.
I just want to be comfy and sexy. ha, maybe I'm asking too much

32dd will almost certainly be too small in the cup. If it the underwire isn't hitting around the middle of the area underneath your armpit and is squashing breast tissue then you need a larger cup.

You probably want either a 30ff or a 32f (same cup size just different bands) and make sure you scoop everything you've got into the cup as it tends to get pushed round the back if you don't wear the right size.

Could you get to a John Lewis and try some curvy kate or panache bras? They come in at about £30 each but are lovely styles.
