Two new bras!
I grabbed a bunch of things from Various Places On The Internet last week, and now it's just a matter of sitting back and waiting for them all to arrived. Today, two of my eBay finds showed up.
From Panache Masquerade, a gorgeous 32G - Masquerade » Antoinette Bandeau Bra (7151) (which I've asked for fitting help on, sob, because I'm kind of hoping I can rationalize away the slight quad boob).
From Natori, a plain but super comfortable 32H - Natori » Bare Support Bra (1338103). Originally ordered in pink, but the seller found at the last minute that the pink bra wasn't really in condition to be sold and asked if a chocolate brown would be okay.
Fun illustration of the difference in sizing between companies, huh? These two bras actually have almost the same cup depth, which is to say slightly too small, but the Natori bra is stretchy and frankly much more forgiving than the 34G - Natori » Hidden Glamour Full Fit Contour Bra (736044) I've owned many of before (back before I lost a bit of weight, ohoho), which as a lightly padded plunge bra I was much more liable to accidentally spill out of.
All in all, a pretty good shopping day, even if I wind up having to send the Masquerade back.

The Natori being a plunge means that the depth measurement is impossible to take at a point that's representative of the true cup volume. Because plunge bras have lower gores, and you have to measure the cup that's there (you can't measure between the outer edge and an imaginary point where your sternum would be) plunge depth measurements typically underestimate the true size of the cup as it will fit on the boob. That is why it fits, it's not *really* the same size as the Masquerade, if that makes any sense.
Here's a link comparing both your bras individually in case this helps your point :)
