Hello, I am from the Netherlands. I am reading Bradatabase for a while now, but this is my first post here. I’d like to start with a question regarding the breast perimeter. How exactly does it relate to (or translate in) the cup size/band size? The perimeter of my left breast (the largest) is 39/40 cm’s (so around 15,5 inches) ... and my ribcage measures around 28.5/28.8 inches. I am currently in doubt what shape and size are best for my breasts. I own a Fantasie Serene and Elodie in size 30HH, but I think they are too narrow the in the cups for me. I always have this wrinkling at the tip of the cup (around my nipples) and in the bottom of the cups. I keep pulling the cups to the sides, because of my fleshiness at the sides. I guess I need shallower, wider wires with my orange in a glass syndrome… I think I slightly have the same problems as Eliza Yesterday I received my Curvy Kate Emily in size 30JJ. For the first time the under cups looked pretty normal & less distorted; finally the wires are long & wide enough for me. But although I am rather full on top, there is now some gaping and wrinkling going at the top of the cups (especially in the right one, my smaller breast). I already took off the labels, so I can’t send it back. Maybe I should have ordered also a 30J for comparison. However fortunately it was a bargain at Bras Stop Today also ordered a Panache Andorra in size 30J. I am curious how this will fit.
I further own two sports bras: one from Bravissimo (wired) in size 30K. The band and the cups run a bit small, but for jumping and jogging that’s ideal; and one from Royce (wireless) in size 32K. The cups are fitting properly I think. But the band is a bit too loose and the support is only suited for a low impact work-out. But it’s so comfortable I mostly wear it as a ‘house’ bra.
Thanks in advance for all your insightful advices.

Hi Eliza. I love how you refer to this as collecting all of your boobs by hand. I would absolutely try the tightest band you can stand and the larger cup to see if I could eventually get all of your boob tissue (including that which has moved down on your body) to stay where it belongs.
Also, when you say full parameter is 40, is that inches or centimeters? And for just one boob or both. That might help.
