Am I supposed to be filling out the complete fit of the bras I own but I know do not fit me anymore?
Wouldn’t that skew results and data?
I would like to see what *used* to fit and work for me. I think data like underwire length and cup separation are handy things to know for myself when looking for new bras. I’m just confused if measuring my current, incorrect fit would cause more problems than help. For others looking for fit matches, for bratabase data, and possibly myself getting recommendations down the line.
But if I were to fill out the fit of all my bras like the “my bras” page is asking me to, all of them would be listed as do not fit. Even though they did at one point for me.
Same thing for pictures. I don’t think a photo of me spilling out of a bra that is not my size anymore would help anyone else decide if it would work for them. It might help me, but I doubt it would help anyone else.
Should I just not complete the info for all the bras that do not fit me?

Hello. I would set your current measurements and move forward from there. Then enter the data for all your bras, even the ones that don’t fit. Even if they used to fit, using your current measurements and setting all the places it doesn’t fit, will help the database and others. You can always write in your review notes that it used to fit.
The way that the bra is shown to fit is with your current measurements.
Definitely do measure all the bras themselves that you have, fitting of not.
Then for those bras, on the fit assessment, as you fill it out it'll likely end up showing up as "Not fitting" and that'll be it.
If you did have your measurements from back when they used to fit, you could enter those measurements as a new entry and also set the fit for those bras that don't fit now but for that entry it will show as fitting.
Later, in the future, if you notice fluctuations, you are invited to re-check your measurements again and you can go ahead and update your bra fit for those new measurements and indicate that they don't fit anymore. That will mark the bras a "Used to fit".
Do add all the information you can, the site has been coded to allow for this situations. Pictures spilling, while not the most helpful, could help to show how off a bra is, as long as it's reasonable. Of course if you're a G cup trying an A cup there's not gonna be surprises, but if you got a G cup in certain brand and shows the awful fit, could be useful for others in your size range to know what to expect.
