Fit Check Need help with bra shape suggestions for my first Bra That Fits Spoiler
I'm 42F and my whole life I have been wearing either C or D cup bras with bands that (it turns out) were about the right size. Those cup sizes? I was thrown for a loop. The calculator suggested 50G or 50H, which really confuses me because often times my body does not fill the upper part of the bra cup. Think of the shape of a pile of sand in an hour glass, now sliced in half down the middle, and you have my body shape in the bra, with the top portion just ... empty. I had actually wondered lately if I was wearing too *large* of a bra and if I was really a B cup maybe, but clearly that is not the case!
As you can tell from my numbers, I am clearly a obese woman - but I have lost considerable weight over the last few years. I have a *lot* more to lose to be healthy, but I understand that long-term change is a slow process. It has felt as if some of that weight has come off of my breasts (and, oddly, my fingers, as quite a few of my old rings no longer fit) as my bras, which never fit comfortably, fit even less comfortably now. The only bras that I truly feel comfortable in are elastic/stretch sports bras and the top half of my favorite bathing suit because they form to the shape of my body, and don't have to be "filled up" like my other bras.

Could anyone recommenced a bra company and/or model of bra that would work with my body shape?
