How do you all choose?

While at first I felt frustrated about how few choices there were of bras in my size (32J UK, or thereabouts), sometimes I look at all the amazing variation of bras that some of you in the matrix sizing can buy and . . how on earth do you ever choose? I think I'm actually glad that my choices are so narrow, so I can figure out what fits and . . stop worrying about it! Until they stop making my bra, of course. the things I love are always discontinued.

  • I'd use a great big wheel like it was the bra-selecting version of 'wheel of fortune'.

    Or maybe pin the tail on the bra-choices chart which would be up on a huge wall.

  • I'm not in matrix but I haven't had any problems finding things in my size 32G/34FF. I've eliminated a lot of brands from my buying scope just from what I've seen on this site (Cleo everything, Panache everything but the Sport, etc). I'm wide-rooted so those brands do nothing for me. Then it's just a matter of what I've tried on and learned from that. I buy a lot of cheap (<$10) bras on Reddit, so I've gained a lot of experience in what I do and don't like. I don't like unlined anything. I don't like anything that is full coverage. I like any molded bra made by Freya. I like wiiiiiide wires. I like top-openness of half-cups and plunges. So, most of the bras I buy are half-cups or some other kind of lined or molded alternative.

    How the bra looks on me has been the most important aspect of its fit. I know a lot of styles that fit me, but they look terrible on and I feel terrible with them on. So, I simply don't buy what doesn't look good.
