Help Me?

If someone more experienced could help :D I'm wanting to get a bra for my aunt for Christmas. She has lost weight and is still wearing ill fitting 36D. I measured her at a 32F. I can't remember if she had a bra on or not but she did bend over for the bust measurement. I am having a really hard time finding a decent 32F in my price range that would suit her style. She likes simple bras with no frills. I found a 32E Deco but looking at it on here I think it would be too small.

Anyone's advice on sizing and styles would be appreciated!

  • i will suggest that is better if you will go for 32 F instead of 32 E... because i had the same issue with cup size when i bought my first Deco bra.... Deco always have the smaller cups than the other bra... so i always use a a higher cup size when i am going for deco....

  • Decos are notorious for running large in the cup. I'm a small 30FF in most styles now but my 30F Deco still fits on the large side, in fact I sort of had to grow into it.

    Does your aunt like moulded bras, unpadded, or padded? Also, what shape, what color?
    I ask about shape because the Deco really lifts and sort of pushes breasts together, and sometimes that doesn't work out well for soft breasts.

    Also, I saw a few unpadded black/white bras for about 10$ on ebay including shipping, but I'm not sure what style she likes. Here's one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-32F-Gorgeous-Debenhams-Full-Coverage-Bra-Lace-Made-In-London-/110984154606?pt=US_CSA_WC_Intimates&hash=item19d72bcdee
    And another: http://www.ebay.com/itm/George-black-with-floral-print-soft-cup-bra-UK-size-32F-34G-36F-38G-40F-42F-/140709954100?pt=US_CSA_WC_Intimates&var=440046696706&hash=item20c2f78234

    I don't know if you're in the UK or not, but I find that ebay.co.uk usually has better (and cheaper) bra listings than ebay.com. Make sure when you view them, you select "sort by price: lowest" so you get the cheapest ones first.

    It's probably difficult to figure out what breast shape she has, but that would help too. For example, would she be better off with wide, shallow Curvy Kate/Panache cups or narrow, deep Freya/Ewa Michalak cups. Since she has lost weight, I am guessing she might not be a fan of plunge styles if her breasts are soft too.

    Hope I helped a little!
