Bratabase My Recommendations
Olá!
I have an issue with the size recommendation calculated by bratabase.
Last week I have updated my measurements (which were more than one year old...). My breasts shrank a little, and my ribcage got 1cm larger. My previous recommended size was 30DD - 30E, and now is 30D - 30DD, which seems coherent with my measurements' changes.
However, I've always been using a band 28, and atm my best fit is a curvy kate 28E. I fit 28 in most Panache bras, in Freya Idol and in several bras in Curvy Kate. The only exception is Panaches' sports bra, in which 28 is a bit too tight, but the band in this style is indeed smaller and less stretchy.
The recommendations I get for those brands are:
Freya: 30DD - 28DD
Panache 30DD - 30E - 28DD - 30D
Curvy Kate: 28E
So, it does give the option of 28, but in a cup one size smaller.
Now, I would like to use the size recommendations given by bratabase for other brands, but if the band size is wrong...
I understand this is not an exact science, but is there a way to adjust the recommendations, or to make use of them even thought the band is wrong?
Thank you for reading!

Because I measure 70cm tight underbust, Bratabase and every single size chart on the market puts me into a 70/32 band but I wear a 65/30.
Instead of going by recommended sizes, etc i go by the measurements of particular bras, looking at band length, cup width and depth mostly and comparethem to my best fitting bras...in some I choose to order 65G in others 65GG/H. I also know a couple of users with similar chest and breast size and shape as me, so I check what they're wearing.
Do check the band measurements for the other brands, and for the particular models that have been recommended. The recommendations will tell you when you mouse over each bra if they were obtained because your profile measurements or bra measurements.
Also, have you set the fit information for you Curvy Kate bras with your new measurements? If you haven't, then only you know that those bras with those measurements fit you, but the system does not, so it cannot incorporate that knowledge in calculating recommendations. This is the way to tell the system "I like bras with this size band". Still, it will recommend to you bras based on what other users with similar bands have reported, so personal preference is very difficult to factor in during computations.
