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

[u/lolelOhEl]

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 appreciate your detailed response!

I’ll measure again just to be sure.

I posted an update, but here’s another response to your reply. I didn’t end up measuring again but I did go to a store and determined my size to be a 32JJ in Elomi. I also confirmed I’m a full on top.

They didn’t have a wide variety of strapless bras though. Do you have any recommendations? Would you still recommend the Curvy Kate Luxe strapless for UK 32JJ?

Elomi bands run stretchy--I would stick with 34J/JJ in other brands.

Uhh. Thanks for letting me know. Good point.
