Haven’t bought new bras in 10+ years and lost weight, help please with sports bras for dance!
Hi all,
New to this sub and very excited to see all the info here! I just took my measurements which follow:
Loose underbust - 31
Snug underbust - 29
Tight underbust - 28.5
Standing bust - 37
Leaning bust - 40
Lying bust - 37 (I think, this one was hard because they tend to fall to the sides)
I was assigned a 32G US. I was previously wearing a 34DDD until I lost about 15 lbs, and my breasts became more bottom heavy and less full. I have since been wearing 34DD bras but the band does feel too loose.
My questions are:
-
Does this make sense given my measurements? And
-
Do you have recommendations for sports bras that provide less coverage? This might sound wild, but I am a hip hop and jazz dancer and frequently have to wear costumes that are low cut with thin straps. Underneath I’ve tried wearing sports bras with more coverage and it looks like I have a full on harness underneath the costume 🤣. I am looking for something that will reduce bounce but also not be so visible with costumes. I’ve already reviewed the sports bra guide.
Thank you all!
