Can anyone recommend bras with shorter straps? My clavical to bottom of breast measurement is less than 8inches (same as my breast root as my breast sits above the root). I have the correct band (my underbust measurements are 35 and 36 but i find a 36 too loose and a 34 comfortable, i was advised a 32 but cannot do that up) so i'm getting allthe support from the band. However, no matter how short i make the straps i'm forever putting them back on my shoulders for slipping off! I'm no good at making adjustments and would prefer a bra that fits to buying a clip to shorten them. Thanks in advance x

  • also wondering who on earth told you to wear a 32 if you measure 35-36

  • A fitting site where they've consistently told me my measurements are "odd" as people don't have flat chests! Tbh i'm feeling dubious of the recommended size on here. It said 36E, now currently i've been trying 34DD and 34E. The 34E cup is massive, wire jabbing my underarm/back and could fit 2-3boobs in the cups so concerned that a 36E being the volume equivalent of a 34F is going to be worse? Surely if my overbust measurement is 3" different to underbust it'd recommend a C? (I tried a 34DD which was too big in the cup when i bought it but fit after i grew a bit, when i laid it out it was 31inches but stretched to 42! How are we supposed to get consistent sizing if they can stretch so much! Lol) Sorry, i may be new on here but tried fitting in various places so been looking for months, as my boobs have suddenly grown in a very short space of time and apparently have an unusual shape! So desperate to find something comfortable! Plus i'm fussy as i don't want anything to make them look bigger (i like my small boobs) but anything unpadded just gapes everywhere. Would go braless if i didn't think i'd poke someone's eye out lol.
