Correct Bra Size

[HouseOfGoldandBones]

I've been wearing a 38C, but my boobs fall out of the bottom, and the band is so uncomfortable.

So, I've measured, and I'm 36" under my boobs, and doing the right angle bending down measurement, I'm 43".

Would that make me a 36F?

yeah, id use 36F as your starting point.
When you measured 36, were you pulling tight?

Bear in mind that a lot of bras still vary from style to style even in the same brand, so in my opinion, its not the sort of thing you can just choose your size and any bra will fit. I know my "size", but its not uncommon for me to try on quite a few bras in that size and only one be comfortable.
If you have a bravissimo near you, I think they are generally consistently the best for fitting you into a good bra

There's not a bravissimo unfortunately.

I'll get to the shop & try on loads.

Thank you

The Boob or Bust calculator uses 4 measurements, which is more accurate. Give it a google.

So sorry to jump in on your thread House, but I have been meaning to start a bra measuring thread!

I measured myself as a 30E/32DD and I still get really painful deep indentations where the bra sits, even with the bigger back size and the straps as long as they go etc. The cups seem to fit fine, and I scoop all breast tissue in.

Do I need to increase back size again?

Hell...I got 36G on Boob or Bust - but I usually wear a 40C. I'm fat without much boob to be honest. I know a 36 will cut into my flesh! Occasionally I'm wearing a 38 - which cripples me. I'm not convinced this is accurate.
