Default Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find

In reality you should measure your band size parallel to the floor and then go down to the nearest even number. This gives you the most time with a bra as it stretches out.



Ive wanted to try third love. I get so many ads about them, but I really hesitate because I've not seen a SINGLE model with cup sizes above DD who was fitted properly in the pictures. If that is what they think is proper fit I want none of it.

Things like the underwire not sitting between the breasts against the actual breast bone but floating - this is terrible fit. Or one lady had the underwire sitting 3-4 inches BELOW her breasts. It was practically at her waist. She had a short torso anyway and that was not helping her.

If you do try it I'd be interested to hear how it goes. I'm a 28/30 band with a F-H cup.
Wacoal recommended 30G (US) and I ordered 4 bras (thankful for their return policy because at least 4 will be going back. Either I am not used to how tight a bra band should be or .... bruised ribs are a norm. hehe Most of them the cups were too small on one side at that size.

I sent their fit experts another email with details and asking for suggestions on getting a properly fitting size. They are going by the measurement under the bust (only they went *down* to the next even # of inches where I'd been going *up).

And then the difference between US/UK/EU sizing makes it even more confusing, hence my contacting them again to ask for help, versus just ordering the next size up.


My favorite/best fit was the Freya Idol Balcony T-shirt Bra. ($68 But if it'll last 2 years......maybe it'll be good. )
