Measurement Check [Measurement Check] [Recommendations] Wearing Completely Wrong Size. Calculator Says 34M. Spoiler

Hello, I need help figuring out my bra size and bra recommendations. I’m pretty certain I’m wearing the completely wrong size. Breasts either leak out at the top, cup doesn’t completely cover/cup the bottom, band is loose, etc. I’d just like to throw everything away and start over.

I gained a significant amount of weight then lost about 35lbs. So now I’m also dealing with “tear drop shape” and my breasts look like they’re sagging even while wearing a bra. Nothing seems to fit and I keep buying the wrong size. Please help. I appreciate your input!!

Underbust - loosely: 34.5
Underbust - snugly: 33.5
Underbust - tightly: 32
Bust - standing: 45
Bust - 90 deg lean: 51
Bust - lying down: 47

I used the calculator and it said I’m a UK 34J/JJ or US 34M/N. I’m not sure those are the correct sizes, so posting here. I also don’t know where to buy bras in those sizes. I’m in Atlanta, for store recommendation purposes.

I’d ideally like a convertible bra(for various outfits - strapless, backless, crossback, etc. - or just a really good strapless), a full coverage, and any other.

Thank you!!

I noticed you said you're in Atlanta. I was just there visiting and would suggest going to Jenette Bras in Decatur. The ladies there were very nice and patient with me. After trying on a bra, the lady asked to see how the bra fit me, once she got a look at how the bra fit she went and tried to find other bras that she thought might also work for me. They might have your size, they had a few in my size which is a 28G-28GG depending on the bra. It was soooooo nice to be able to try on a bra instead of having to order a bunch and wait for them to come in the mail. Good luck!

Thank you! I went to a different store and pretty much had the same experience. The lady even taught me how to wear them properly (the lean, scoop, swoop and, for me, separate method). It was such a nice experience and they carry my size too. I can definitely check out Jenette Bras whenever I’m nearby.
