Ugh! I'm never shopping for bras online ever again!
I got the Panache Panache Porcelain Plunge (3371) in 36FF despite it not being recommended by a bratabase member, because I thought the shape would fit me well.. And it was recommended to me by Herroom. However once I tried it the band rides up and yet was hard to fasten it also wrinkled up at the back and the cups were slightly too small.
The straps however were padded and very comfy.
Anyway I measured my back again and it says 35 inches ...but it seems 34 bras are too tight and 36 is too big... What do I do? I don't know what size to try next.. ;( but I really need a new bra ..help!

You have a couple options. You can get a 34 and buy some extenders and wear the bra with an extender until it stretches out a bit, or get the 36 and wear it on a tighter hook, although that option will give your bras a shorter lifespan. Also make sure you check out the stretched band measurements on Bratabase so you know if you might need to go with the larger or smaller size. Some brands like Freya are known for having slightly more stretchy bands so in their bras the 34 may work and in other bands that run tighter or more TTS you might need the 36. Your best bet though is to probably get some extenders and check measurements to make sure the 34 doesn't run super small. I mostly wear 30 bands and am about 30.5/31 and also have a problem with 32's usually being big so I just get the 30 and use an extender until it stretches out.
Thank you @amandafire I did try bra extenders but they made everything look and feel weird :/ also 34 in Freya is too tight for me and the porcelain plunge bra had no measurements in my size on here ;(
And what's so weird is the porcelain plunge was hard to do up and yet also rode up in the middle back :/ I thought they only did that if they were too big
