I am pretty frustrated. For the last three months or so, I've been wearing bras that fit well for the first time in my life. After months of buying, returning and re-selling bras, I finally had a sizable collection of bras that fit. About 6 weeks ago I started getting serious about losing weight, since I've been way over my normal for about 2 years. I was very relieved when the first 12 lbs. came off and some of my bands were looser, but I didn't seem to lose any noticeable breast volume, so I was still able to wear all of my great new bras. As the last couple pounds came off, within a week all of my bras started fitting differently. In what feels like overnight, I've gone down 1-2 cup sizes. As excited as I am about losing the weight, I don't know what to do about the bra situation. I want to lose another 5 to 10 pounds, so should I just tighten my straps and re-measure when I reach my goal? I think this is about where I was before I gained the weight, but none of my old bras ever fit right, so I have no good comparison.

  • The perimeter tells you about how much depth in a bra that you need. As for the nip to neck, not really sure. I'm guessing strap placement of some kind, but I really don't know.

    The depth in combination with the wire width you need will give a cup that fits well.

  • Congrats on the weight loss!

    I can empathise a little with the loss in volume. How fast have you been losing the weight? If you lost weight rapidly, you might get some of the old volume back as your body readjusts.

    Are your bras comfortable now? How soon do you think you will reach your goal?
