Any bra wizards about?

I’ve put on a bit of weight this year and also seem to have filled out more in the boobs and hips (finally an hourglass at 31!) figured my boobs could probably use remeasuring. Currently in a 32E - found via boob or bust and Bravissimo so was definitely right at the time, but now gapey in the cup and don’t feel right.

Measurements attached - Boob or Busy reckons 30H, but that seems like a leap as my current size feels out but not hugely. I will try one on, but maybe 30G or GG would make more sense? My breasts are full and round, with weight all the way through, and I tend to go for plunge t-shirt styles.

No advice on sizing but how do you put your bra on ? The best way is lean forward and let your books fall into the cup, do up bra, stand up and then rearrange your boobs into your bra. predictive text called them blobs Haha.

Could be the shape and style as much as the size. For example, I know my correct size but I can't wear a plunge bra because as I move about, it starts to bulge and and gape simultaneously and I end up with four boobs. Doesn't matter what make of bra, but it's always the same. But a balconette style will hold me in place with no gaping.

Victoria had this conversation with Bravissimo. I put it on backwards and spin, but then lean over and give em a good scoop. I just can’t do them behind me. They’re definitely in the right position though.

Treacle I’ll definitely try some other shapes but I wear a lot of low tops so need some plunge. I go for moulded cups as well which does effect the fit.

I think balconettes are better for women with more bottom heavy shaped breasts rather than round ones though?

Hopeful bump for any other thoughts?
