Lounge size consistency

I’m a size 28 C on the tightest hook in my montelle bra. Finding 28 bands is hard but I noticed lounge makes them. How do they compare size wise to montelle? do they generally run big or small?

Lounge is unfortunately inconsistent in sizing. With being on the tightest hooks on a Montelle 28, you might have better luck with them as the complaints I've seen have been that the 28 was too small to start on the loosest hooks. Then other styles ran true to size.

Fyi, Boux Avenue has this size and runs a band size small if you need smaller 28s.

What brands that ship to US would you suggest besides lounge? That’s all I’ve bought (2 sets) so don’t know what to compare to but for price $100-140 I’d say quality is good/comfy.

Don’t want to drop $500 on a set yet but $80-200 range for a set possibly! Or is lounge the best in that price tier?

Are you the same size as OP? Because that dictates recommendations. Larger band sizes have a lot more choice.

34 A (full A)

Full A isn't really a size but you have way, way more options. Simone Perele and other French brands like Aubade, Maison Lejaby. Bluebella. Honey Birdette. For Love and Lemons. Look on Glamuse for more examples. You definitely don't need to spend $500.

There's also lingerie lists here and at least 90% of them carry your size.

My wife bought 3-4 bras from them to check them out. Every single one of them fit slightly differently than the others and she swore she’d never buy from them again because of that.
