All bra adventures

band length correct? cup correct? gore causes intense itchiness.

Before finding "abrathatfits.org" last week, I wore a 34B. Now I tried a 32D. I'm wearing it on the middle hooks, because the loosest hook feels a little ... too loose. The right breast fills out the cup except there is some loose fabric underneath where the strap starts on the front. I'm wondering if I should try a 30DD for band length, and if the cup is the right size for me. I tried this same bra in 32C, and the cup underwire felt too small somehow. The center gore causes a LOT of itchiness; so much that I may not be able to wear this bra. The straps feel too far apart, but that is something I have always had trouble with as I think my shoulders are pretty narrow compared to other women. I have trouble with dresses and shirts for this same reason. I cannot wear spaghetti strap anything. I'm looking for general feedback, as this is my first foray into seriously trying to find bras that fit. Thank you so much. This is a wonderful website.

55G - Comexim » Bubbles (727)

I feel so cute and feminine in this bra. The pink bows are a little more "neon" than expected, but they're still pretty. This one has the loosest band brand new compared to my other Comexim 3HCs. I got this one on sale (20% off) and it seems this bra used up the last bit of the Bubbles fabric, because after I placed my order, Bubbles was gone for good on their website.

55G - Comexim » Oleander

I LOVE this bra's color. I never thought grey and purple could combine in such a beautiful way. The pattern is lovely as well as the little bows. I love that their center is pink. Of course, this fits just like my other 3HC's. I'm impressed with the consistency in sizing! The seamstresses at Comexim seem to really know what they're doing when it comes to my size. I got this one and Bubbles during a 20% off sale!

Does your bra size dictate your clothing style?

Most clothes are not made for bigger boobs. Many clothes in stores don't fit correctly on more average chests.
So shopping is super annoying. I don't want to wear oversize or stretchy active wear all the time. I just want regular clothes that are well made. Most styles that are currently in fashion are not cut for curve. I think it ... got even worse in the last few years. I find almost nothing in the chain stores and from the thrift store 90% goes to my giant "alternations" pile.
I can only wear fit & flare dresses, flare skirts and stretchy tops. Blouses only if I alter them or sew on extra buttons.
It's so exhausting. Then you get these comments like - oh why you never wear modern clothes, why do you dress so "old-fashioned"... because that stretchy fit and flare dress is the only item that fits me duh

- My bra size (24F/FF - 26E/F) kind of determines what I can shop for when it comes to tops. I’m super tiny. I’m 4 feet 11 inches tall and between 80-84 pounds, so I tend to gravitate towards the girls section *sigh*… and the girls size 10 tops fit, but they don’t accommodate my breasts so the neckline (which fits lower on a child/girl) rides up and becomes a crew neck and I have a slight tent look :( forcing me to constantly pull down the top. It’s very annoying. I would love to dress like a woman my age… I feel your frustration!
- I really really like family dollar clothing. I've never had issues with my shirts being too tight from them. I also like maternity shirts because they're also more forgiving in the chest.
  
  I'll wear pretty much any brand of clothing as long as I like it. My favorite place to shop for clothes is tractor supply though.

Comexim Basic vs Elena

Which beige bra is your go- to for everyday wear?
I need to add a beige bra to my wardrobe to wear under lighter tops. I see that there is mainly the difference that Basic is made of satin fabric and has lace & ribbons and the Elena looks like more cotton-like fabric and it's plain without bows so actually more basic than the Basic bra in design. Any other differences between those 2?

- Well I don’t have the Elena (but I’m planning on getting her during their yearly Black Friday sale, along with Elise), but I do have the Basic and the Mimi 3HCs that I wear as nude bras for light/white tops. Like you said, Basic is satiny while Mimi is meshy and looks a lot more yellow. However, they both work great as nude bras for my fair skin tone. I guess if you’re wearing a super tight, form fitting top you will see a tiny bit of the bows by the straps with the Basic, but it’s so minor that I’m personally not bothered by it. They also have the exact same straps!
- while not comexim, i can never turn down an opportunity to share how great the parfait pearl is for an everyday beige bra! it's my favorite that i own!

70I - Gaia » Eve (1027)

THIS was an excellent bra. I got so much wear out of it, but then I lost 17 pounds!

I can see why people are Gaia fans *narrow and projected* I believe Gaia used to be sold on amazon, through the store Other Eden, but I got this through the Polish store Misterna.pl

For the money, this was excellent value.

- Looks like a beautiful bra! I've never heard of Gaia
  Congrats on the weight loss - if it was intentional.
- Yes, it was!! Would you be shocked if I told you I followed a nutritionist on youtube? Lol. Autumn Bates (if you search her on youtube).

S - Parade » Eightball (PR113W)

I've been looking for more bralettes and sportsbras to wear as I really don't like underwire and padded bras for day-to-day use. While in a walmart, I saw a new to me brand and the bralettes met my desired shape and softness. Perk was that all sizes of all the bras (xs-3xl) were the same and they had the same ... patterns for all the sizes. The brand includes true plus size models, and I wanted to support it. I picked up one of the longline bralettes to try at home, and it was incredibly soft and comfy without snagging on my new-ish piercings. I like the smaller cups with gathers instead of darts for shaping, and since I don't need any separation, I don't mind that the center gapes away from my sternum as it doesn't have any wires.

- Nice bra find!
  
  I've heard that Parfait also makes good bralettes, though I've never tried one. (TBH, I got confused when I saw your post b/c "parade" and "parfait" are kind of similar, lol)
