Bra Recommendations for Small Bust - Struggling with Fit and Style After Weight Loss

[dhanley]

@medic_man measured 3 times. With help. Got told I was definitely wearing the wrong clothes size (I’m not) and that the sizing was right (it wasn’t). I’m not going to walk around in a bra with 5 cups worth of extra room - I tried. I went from 36D to 36HH. It just didn’t work for me and I’m not the only person.

@dhanley boob or bust didn't work for me at all. I'm a big girl with small boobs and it said I was a 38F I knew I wasn't but went with what it said, absolutely ridiculous fit. I done the measurements 4 times too.

@dhanley haha same. I had my implants removed and they said I was bigger without them

@pikceedust I was a 36/38A until I joined this group. I'm wearing a 34C now.

@pikceedust I joined them and measure the way they recommend and it was so nice to have bras that actually fit properly.

@pikceedust Literally came here to say the same.

Guys - how do you actually measure your chest size?? Under the boob or around the nipple???

 

[fivequestions]

@brunette both. If you use the boob or bust calculator you will be asked for 4 measurements and then it will provide a starting size to try.

@fivequestions Thanks Lynsey. I’ll google boob or bust. x

 

[fivequestions]

@brunette there’s a website and a Facebook group.

@brunette try the Boob or Bust - Bra measuring advice Facebook page calculator. They use 4 measurements and you need to do it without a bra on, absolutely no point doing it over an already ill fitting bra that might be squashing your boobs down or pushing breast tissue into the band.

I don’t do padding but m and s bras are the best I’ve found

Don’t feel disheartened if boob or bust doesn’t work - I comfortably wear a 38C or 36D-DD with no complaints and with their system I should be a 36HH! And we measured correctly, checked 3 times!
Needless to say I didn’t go out and buy a new bra

@dhanley You definitely should have! You will be surprised! X

 

[dhanley]

@kds1986 feel like I should take a picture of the size that is the same band size but 5 cups bigger to demonstrate that I’m not mad

@dhanley did you try any in your Boob or bust size? I went from 34DD, laughed when I came out at 30F so took myself off to Bravissimo and John Lewis and without telling them my BOB size they both came out the same. Even looking at the bras I thought I’d be swimming about in them but they fit and are so much better. You really can’t tell till you try them on. It’s also important to try reputable brands that are consistent in size as a lot of “own brands” aren’t true to size. M&S also miss out some double letters after F so it throws all the others out too. So A G in M&S is really an FF and so on.

@medic_man I did - it was ridiculous. No change in band size but up 5 cup sizes. 30F would be an old school “equivalent” size for 34DD so makes sense! I expected my band size to go down with the Bob method but it didn’t.
I was expecting a revolution but was very disappointed!
