I'm a little unsure if I should continue to add bras to Bratabase.
I first joined Bratabase a couple years ago after losing quite a bit of weight and thus having to replace nearly my entire lingerie drawer with new items in my new size. I lost weight by doing a lot of running, and eating very little.
These days I follow a different eating/diet plan (with only moderate success, I think) and I'm about 3-4kg heavier than I was when I first joined. I am working on my upper body strength at the same time and I can barely squeeze into my 28 back bras. I probably need an extender.
The 3-4kg extra weight means extra weight on my boobs too. So most of the bras that I have photographed and decribed the fit were well fitting - when I was a 28gg.
If I go and add a new bra (eg just about to buy the Panache Idina in 30gg, although I could also wear the 32g right now) and tick all the fit boxes off, won't other users compare my history of 28gg bras to the Idina 30gg and assume that the band is really big? It's not! Not at all! It's not the style that is wrong, it's my body that has changed.
Thoughts?

You can update your measurements. The Bratabase will ask you what date/measurements the fit is being filled out for.
What drownedsalad said, just add new measurements and enter your bras and fit information for your new measurements, nothing will be skewed.
The site will know that the older bras' fit information was for data back then, and the new entries are for current newer measurements.
