I’m tired of this, Grandpa!!!!!
Recently lost a bunch of weight and need new bras. Did the ABTF calculator- measurements below.
Loose Underbust: 35" Snug Underbust: 34.5" Tight Underbust: 34" Standing Bust: 41" Leaning Bust: 44" Lying Bust: 41"
Just received 3 bras from Bare Necessities, all in the ABTF recommended size (36 DDD/E) with wildly mixed results.
Here's what I ordered & the results: Freya Fancies Plunge Balcony Bra in 36E- This one fits the best of the 3, but still has some minor gapping near the top of each cup where they attach to the straps, which makes me question whether it's a good fit. It's pretty but it's also not the most practical as it's textured and hot pink. 🙃
Panache Allure Demi Balconette Bra in 36E- this one is so pretty and I really wanted to love it, but my boobs are barely contained in the cups. Spillage imminent, especially on my left side. Sending back.
Bare Demi T-Shirt Bra in 36DDD- This one is the clearest fail. The cups are massive, at least 1-2 sizes too big. Sending back.
Can someone with my measurements please for the love of god tell me what brand/size works for them?! I'm specifically hoping to find a lightly lined bra that gives me great shape and lift. (I'm on camera quite a bit and while I don't mind unlined bras, they tend to show my natural shape a lot, which I don't love.) TIA!!!
