Today I tried on a bunch of my old 32B bras just to see how they looked. On about 2/3's of them, the band rides up really far. I also quadboob out of about half of them. However, I was surprised to see that about 1/3 of the bras still looked decent on me, even though I recently just switched over to a 30D. Right now, I feel like I can wear a 32B, a 30D or a 30C in a bunch of bras and they mostly look okay. It's a little strange, since I feel like I devoted the last 3 months to discovering my new bra size, only to find I still look pretty good in some of my old bras. Now I feel like I have less of an idea of what sort of bras are best for me and where to go from here. Oh well, I guess it gives me more options. It's not like a bra size is some constant thing anyway.

They could run large in the cup and small in the band, and therefore atypically you could need a 32B in those bras. How long did you wear them though? With breasts that aren't super heavy, you can walk around a short while in a band that is significantly too big for you without anything happening. But if you try to wear it all day, it'll become more and more of a problem as you will need to be adjusting it regularly to keep it at a normal level.
A 32 that is too small in the cup will also feel tighter on the body than a 32 with adequate room in the cup--because in essence a good part of the band is being used to cover boob that should be in the cup. You won't realize the fit issues until you've worn it a few hours and the boobs are starting to break free, and the band which formerly felt snug enough is suddenly loose.

I never got to experience my boobs breaking free from their bra-gulag! I feel cheated. Maybe it would happen if I tried a too-small front closure bra?
I've discovered that what I perceived to be a 'decent fit' in bras at one time, were in fact, not anything close to that at all. Of course, it took finding a bra that *really truly absolutely and most definitely* fit to come to such a realization. It's like all of a sudden I could see "OMG, how could I ever have been so blind!?" in thinking those previous bras fit, trying them on for comparison and looking in the mirror made me feel a tad embarrassed that I'd been going out in public and constantly fidgeting with my boobs because those bras were a bad fit.
