I have a bra that I want to add but I can't see the size in the tag anymore. I have all the measurements and I know that I was able to wear it prior to my breast surgery so I could guess at the size but I am not 100% sure. I bought it 2nd hand so it had been faded before I got it. It is a Lise Charmel and I wanted to just plug in the measurements to search and see if it shared the same or similar measurements with an already listed bra but I've only found one other Lise Charmel shown in the bratabase and it doesn't have a lot of info to compare with. I tried to enter the bra's info and list "unknown" as the bra size or just leave it blank but the form won't accept it. Has anyone ever had an unknown size when adding a bra here? If so, what is the preferred method? My guess is to make an estimate based on the other bras I have that I was able to wear when I was that size. Unfortunately my band has never been sizes wrong so I was just wearing cups that fit as best I knew how and having loose bands. Basically meaning that it is probably somewhere between a 30 and 34 and that would obviously determine what the cup size really should be listed as.
To make matters worse, I am not sure of the model name. I did actually email the Lise Charmel company through their official facebook page with the help of my trusty Google Translate, lol, and sent them pics of the bra to see if they could tell me what collection it was from. They just let me know that it is retired and no longer available, lo. I don't think that I was able to communicate with them very well so they may not have understood the question.
I can't wear it anymore so I was going to list it but I'm not sure how to get it in my list of bras. HELP!

What does it look like and how long ago did you buy it, approximately?
wendybien it is one I haven't been able to find anywhere online. I don't have any idea when it was produced or purchased, unfortunately. I bought it at a resale shop earlier this year but I had breast surgery about 6 months ago so I haven't been able to wear it since then. I have gone through all of their collections that I've been able to find catalogued online going back as many seasons as I could find looking for it and I just haven't had any luck finding it. It's been pretty frustrating because I'm usually pretty good at investigating and finding things.
When I bought it I just thought it was a pretty bra and it "fit" well enough then so I got it. I didn't know a single thing about good bras then so it is kind of funny that the only "quality" bra I ever had I bought without realizing it.
I don't see a way to post a pic without being able to upload the bra itself. I'm still learning the site so maybe there is a way.
