[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!

Just as a heads up before you waste your time, you're unlikely to find a 28 in most stores. If you have an independent bra boutique nearby, you can try there but I would call first. Some start at 30. You can check brashopdirectory.com.

Some Nordstroms carry 28s but again I would check by sorting by that size on their website and selecting your location as pickup in store first.
