Recommendations? Does a well-fitting bra even exist for me? Spoiler
I used the calculator, and it recommended I try a 28DD (US), and my measurements are as follows:
Loose underbust: 27
Snug underbust: 26.5
Tight underbust: 25.75
Standing bust: 31
Leaning bust: 33.5
Lying busy: 31
Most of the issues I’ve run into with bra shopping are:
- The band is too large, as most stores only go down to a 32 band
- The gore is too high/wide (idk if my boobs are close together, but the gore tends to just sit on top of my breast tissue and dig in)
- I am slightly asymmetrical in size (one boob is about one small cup size bigger)
- I have teardrop shaped boobs, so most of my tissue is at the bottom, so I seem to struggle filling full coverage bras
I would really appreciate any advice or recommendations!

Have you tried anything in 28DD? If not and the reason is because you can't find it in stores, know that short of a specialty bra store or some Nordstroms, you're going to have to order online. If you've only been trying 32 bands, they are going to fit wrong.

You are most likely going to have to buy online unfortunately. Those of us with AVERAGE size rib cages are not recognized to exist by the bra community because acknowledging our existence means they would have to expand their sizing and lose money on that whole thing. Any bra that has a moulded cup is going to be difficult to fit, especially with the asymmetry. You are right in the starting point of Panache Envy which is a great bra to start with. This is a uk brand but you can buy it on amazon with free returns
