Apr 08, 2013 -- Interesting ... ?
I finally retook my measurements and I found confirmed what I already suspected: my breast perimeter is about 2cm smaller than it was 6-7 months ago, when I took my first set of measurements.
But to make things a bit more interesting, there were some unexpected side effects as well: my underbust is now about 2cm LARGER than it was before. Why? I haven't gained weight, or noticeable fluff, so what can possibly have caused this increase? The answer is actually laughably simple: being smaller, my breasts sit ever so slightly higher up my chest -- high enough on my über-conical torso for the new underbust line to measure significantly larger.
Then I also tried on some of my bras to update their 'fit' info and found something else interesting: as expected, my Rhea's fit quite differently -- the 30E - Masquerade » Rhea (6121) is now clearly too large and even though the 30DD - Masquerade » Rhea (6121) still fits my larger right breast well it gaps significantly on my smaller breast -- but I see NO difference whatsoever in my 60F - Ewa Michalak » Ch Onyx and 65DD - Ewa Michalak » Hm Gold (267). I swear those two 'fit' exactly the same as before -- the bands are obviously way too small, but the cups are surprisingly fine (and, boy, had I forgotten the perfection CH is, shape-wise ... !) even though my breasts are clearly smaller. I also don't see much difference in my 28F Andorra Full Cup , but my Chantelles really show: 70E - Chantelle » Rive Gauche T-back Spacer Bra (3282) always was slightly big but is now laughably so and 70D - Chantelle » Rive Gauche T-back Spacer Bra (3282) has turned into almost perfect fit instead. My 32E - Triumph » Amourette (300) fits perfectly now, but although I like it from the front, profile-wise and from the top it really gives the ugliest shape ever -- can't believe I used to live in this model before my pregnancy (size 32A) ... !
I'm gradually going to update my bra reviews with these and some other observations (mostly on band size) as well. And hope my recent Figleaves and Bravissimo orders arrive shortly

Interesting! What happens if you wear the too small Ewa bands with an extender?
I've been thinking about this when it comes to myself, but for me it's the opposite: Better scoping was possible due to weight loss. It made my underbust line move downwards, since I simply scope up and in all the fat on my sides from waist and up.
And even if my ribcage is slightly conical and I got some conical problems in 34F I also have those protruding ribs in the front so I am now bigger on the bottom I would say because of ribs certainly being harder than fat.
Also my back is so tiny compared to my front.
So I figured; what if getting lats to make the ribcage more conical and so I maybe might prevent my backs from riding up all the time? :D
For bands not riding up on me I would need a 32 band at the biggest. But I simply cannot stand them with this on and off going heartburn thing.
I've got lats and loosish bands don't ride up. I alter them for better support, but they're more likely to slide down under the weight of my boobs than to ride up. They need to be like 2 sizes too big at least to ride up.
