Do these bras fit?

I need help Blush. I haven’t had my boobs measured in ages and I’ve definitely been wearing the wrong size bra as my nipples pop out at every opportunity.

I recently went into my local M&S, asked to be measured and they directed me towards a man so I walked out.

I’ve been wearing a 34C and these two are a 32D. Do they look like they fit? I’ve been reading threads on here and it seems as if you ladies know more than the actual fitters!

Do they look too tight around the band? I tried a 34d on but the cups gaped at the top.

Yep, both pics on the biggest hook setting!

I think you just have to play around with some different styles and sizes... if I was going on a very sexy date and wanted to have mahoosive cleavage I wouldn’t go for a full cup bravissimo type bra (I know they do other styles, I am generalising), I might even go for a 32F type plunge thing from asos etc just to get that va va boom shape. But day to day I’ll wear a 30G bravissimo type full cup supportive bra (their own brand Melrose bra is my current fave). And equally if I’m having a lounge day at home I’ll go for a Molke bra (google them, so comfy) but I’ll wear a medium in them even though my size should be a small... or a crop top type thing. There’s nothing to say if you measure a 30G everything has to be a 30G and nothing else is ever going to be right. It’s just a starting point.

M&S are shit.

Was fitted there recently for a 32D. The very first time I wore the bra, I realised it was far too big on the back and rides up, even on the tightest hook. Ffs.

I'm a size 8 on top and should've really needed a 28 or 30 back, I imagine.

Victoria’s Secrets have been a revelation for me.

The second bra definitely doesn't fit! In between both breasts, the bra should sit flush against your chest/thymus gland area. It's sticking out so much.

Bands are meant to be tighter than most people think but I don't think the cup size is quite right or maybe the shape... I can't wear balconettes because of the shape of my breasts so it's important to keep that in mind too.

I'm a 28 DD... so understand the difficulty of a full cup and tiny back.

Right, nipped into M&S for a quick browse and tried a 30G on...it fit! Excuse the photos...best I could get in the changing room.

Much better fit

latheritup · 12/01/2020 15:06

That's much better and looks comfier for you too!

GoBackToPartyCity · 12/01/2020 15:33

So much comfier! When I picked it up I was thinking there was now way it would fit as it looked huge! I was amazed when it actually fit and how secure everything felt compared to what I’d be wearing. I knew I could count on you lot!Grin
