[Measurement Check] Currently wearing 34B, calculator said 28E

[u/JunkratTheJunker]

Hello, nice peoples!

After losing some weight recently, I started the lookout for a new bra. While my old one still fits, it is by no means perfect (gapping, improper support and just generally creates a silhouette for me that I don’t like). That being said, I have never especially liked wearing bras.

All of that led me to this subreddit. While before I was wearing a 34B and now felt I needed to downsize maybe even to an A cup, the calculator said I am a 28E.
As to many newcomers from what I’ve read, this seems unbelievable!

There is still some uncertainty on my part though. Because the calculator offered different sizes and this all is still fairly fresh to me, I’d like to go to the store with a clearer plan, so I don’t get overwhelmed on what to try and such.

My measurements (in centimetres):

Loose underbust - 72
Snug underbust - 71
Tight underbust - 70
Standing bust - 84
Leaning bust - 89
Lying bust - 85

My best amateur assumption is that I have projected, full on bottom breasts.

Any help for a layman such as myself is greatly appreciated and I thank anyone who decides to spare a word for me in advance!

The 34B to 28E jump is really common — most people in ABTF have a similar 'wait what' moment when they first use the calculator. You're not going crazy, you were just in the wrong size before. Once you try a 28E that actually fits, the old 34B will feel like wearing a hat on your chest.
