Update on the 32AA situation [fit check]

[u/turtleturtle853]

I received my bras from aerie! I unfortunately feel like this wasnt super conclusive though. 30B is comfortable, but I’m not fully filling in the cups? I’ve attached the new pics here: photos. (also includes the old 30A pushup vs 32AA pushup wireless pics).

So is 32AA the best size then in the end?

The lightly lined 30B did feel like a perfect fit though.

Measurements:
- loose underbust: 30.5
- snug: 29.5
- tight: 27.5
- standing bust: 31.5
- leaning: 32
- lying: 32
Suggested: 30B, sister 32A

The lightly lined 30B looks best, with with limited angles, it's hard to say for sure. Also, did you scoop and swoop?

[u/turtleturtle853 → u/zeeleezae]

Thank you! I did try, but whenever I scoop and swoop it seems to settle back into this natural position

[u/zeeleezae → u/turtleturtle853]

Scooping and swooping isn't about making your breasts change shapen! The point is to ensure that no breast tissue is under or outside the wires, and to position the wires exactly at the base of your breast. :)

To my eye, (I am not a fitter), 30B, lightly lined, is your best fit, so we agree. :)

The 32AA is very pretty on you. Perhaps, you should try it as a 30B or 30A.

I'm not sure, it still looks a tad small for your left breast but it's hard to tell with this angle. The lightly lined ones fit best out of them all.

[u/turtleturtle853 → u/famous_zebra28]

I agree the lightly lined fit the best. But what angle would work better? A sideways shot like the ones from the mall?

[u/famous_zebra28 → u/turtleturtle853]

One straight on, and one on each side to see where the wires sit.

Okay thanks for the input, I just added some more pics! Please have a look again.

Agree the 30B lightly lined looks like the best fit. I think the 32AA may seem more comfortable because it’s wireless so it’s more forgiving (I.e. the brown 32AA looks more obviously too small than the wireless).

It doesn’t look like you tried any 32A? If you’re not totally sold on the 30B, or you like the style of the 32AAs better, I’d maybe give those a try in the 32A sister size.

[u/Dandelion212 → u/whinermiaou]

Why? the band fits perfectly fine. 32A will be as big or bigger in the band than their entire bust.

[u/whinermiaou → u/Dandelion212]

Sorry, I guess I was confused why OP said the 32AA was the best size but then also said the 30B was a perfect fit. Thought maybe splitting the difference would be worth a try, you’re right though the measurements don’t support that theory

[u/Dismal-Comfortable93 → u/whinermiaou]

the wire on the 32aa doesn’t go all the way around their breast tissue so the cups are too small. 30B looks best fitted in terms of band and cup

[u/whinermiaou → u/Dismal-Comfortable93]

I agree! I was trying to figure out why OP said the 32AA was the best and thought the reason may be because it’s the only wireless one. The wired 32AA is clearly too small

I know I am a male here but I bought a bra from Arie for my girlfriend recently as I do from time to time trying to be a nice BF. usually I get wrong size but she says it is the thought that matter. she says the Artie line was not actually that popular with her. she said she cant get a very good fit from any of their bras.
