I've lost a little more weight over the past few weeks, which has come off my top half - so I need to buy new bras now.
It can't really wait til after lockdown and a professional measure, as I can get a full hand in the cups of my current bras, as well as my boobs Blush

My current bras are 30DD (Freya) and 32DD (M&S) and all are too big. They ride up my back even on the tightest hook, and as I describe, are huge in the cup too. This is pretty uncomfortable, and I look awful.

Boob or Bust brings me out as a 28F. But bearing in mind the current 30DD cups are too big, would you start with a 28F? That sounds too big in the cup to me - perhaps a 28E would be better?

Also, what sort of bra would you recommend for a fairly scrawny woman with flat, sad, saggy boobs after lots of bf and weight loss?!

Thanks in advance.

30DD is a sister size of 28E (have the same cup volume on a different back size) so if you're finding DD too big then maybe try 28DD as well as 28E. Could also be style of bra. Is it full cup or balconette style you are wearing?

Thank you.
I have a mixture of styles - balconettes and push up T shirt bras. Full cups don't work for me!

Check out the pantry underwear website. Small independent business and Ellie the founder has been doing fittings over FaceTime while in lockdown! She stocks a good variety of stuff - I got quite a few things from her when pregnant and breastfeeding and knows her stuff can tell pretty quickly what suits.

Try padded half cups as well, I find they give the best shape with boobs like you describe.
