So much for recommendations
Are my boobs really that weird? I've updated my measurements, but the recommendations are 4 sizes smaller than the too-small bras I'm trying to replace (being suggested options around 30:8, currently busting out of 30:12 and trying to decide whether to go up a cup, up a band, or maybe both).
I assume it's because I don't have a bra that fits. So I guess I'll just have to muddle through bra by bra and try to work it out myself. It doesn't help that my underbust measurements are 29-30-31.5, so I'm not quite a 30 or a 32

Do you have any idea what your shape characteristics are like? Maybe we can help narrow it some for you.
Narrow, projected, full on bottom/centre full with short roots (but a pronounced Tail of Spence, so closed-on-top balconettes/half cups are okay, but closed-on-top plunges tend to cut in).
ABTF calculator recommends 32J/JJ, which is 70M/N, I think? It might be overestimating a little though, since my short roots seem to mean less volume than expected for my circumference. It's a lot bigger than I would expect, but I also keep growing, so overshooting might not be a disaster.
I'm currently wearing an assortment of 65L Comexim bras, all of which are way too small in the cup now, but which range from too tight to too loose in the band. I'd say there's more that fit or are tight than that are too loose, but the few that are looser make me wary of going up a band size.
I also would probably prefer more immediate projection, and I have a 60J - Ewa Michalak ยป S Czekolada which...kinda fits? It was way too big when I got it, and the band runs a size large, but it doesn't gap at all. Presses in on one side, but it always had different width underwires, so there's that. But the straps on EM have always been too wide on me, and despite the projection issues, my Comexim bras have always been comfier than similarly sized Ewas.
I was going to just order 65M or 70L Comexim, but the more I think about it, the more uncertain I get. And they're not replying to my email about getting things made in sizes that aren't listed, which isn't helping.
I'm just confused, and frustrated that I keep growing out of bras I like. Not an uncommon story, but it was getting me down today. So the generated recommendation that a 30G Freya might fit was just the final straw this morning :)
