Bra intervention

I've lost a bit of weight and was sorting through my clothes today, I have been wearing the wonderful molke bras for ages but trying on some of my clothes I though I could do with ŵearing a normal bra under some things. So I tried my bras on, they are all too big.
I've just done the boob or bust calculator and it gives me a 34 gg, however some of the ones that are way to big in the cup are 36e.
I'm thinking this can't be right. Is it always right?
Also how are people getting bars when you can't try things on?

I get my bras online from Brastop or Bravissimo, think they both have free returns. My favourites are Curvy Kate ones.

The 36 back size will make the bra too big all over, so it may appear as if the cups are too big maybe?

Bravissimo are good and you can usually speak to them and they will help you.

I used to have some curvy Kate ones, the comfiest. I might try, I hate returning things but that's not reasonable.

An E cup on a 36 bra is bigger than an E cup on a 34 bra. If you used to fit a 36e, you possibly were actually a 34 h or J as the VAST majority of women are wearing a bra that is too big in the band and too small in the cup. SO you may well be a 34 gg now. Why not get a 34gg and a 34e and send back what doesn't fit. Different bras even from the same brand fit differently anyway
