Boob or bust help please

Hi

I’m breastfeeding and in need of some new bras. My boobs have grown massively due to feeding, so I have no idea what my size would be.

I know lots of people recommend boob or bust so I gave it a go. But this message has come up and I have no idea what it means. Could anyone help please?
I’ve also attached the measurements I took in case anyone can see the problem. I’ve measured myself 3 times and got my partner to check and so I’m pretty sure these measurements are correct?

Xx

Have you pulled the tape measure so tight it feels like you might snap on the under bust tight measurement?

That warning means that for most people with that measurement, the dress size doesn't correlate. So most people who wear a size 16 top, they would expect the tight measurement to be no more than +20 to that. So size 16 top= 36 under bust tight measurement. It could mean that you like your clothes particularly fitted, or it could be that you haven't pulled the tape measure tight enough under your bust, or gone high enough- it should be in the crease where your bust starts.

Also- check your tape measure is right. Might sound daft, but some of them are wrong!
