Oh my goodness.... I'm waiting on 2 bras to arrive and hoping they help me determine how those brands & shapes might fit me and give me a jumping off point and I still can't.stop.stalking eBay, Amazon, and the listings on here. And I'm not even brand-new to the world of Proper Bra Sizing, I've known for a long time I wasn't in the right size but haven't had the funding to pursue a wardrobe of correctly sized bras. Still can't at full price, but I feel this will be an expensive journey. I'm already 4 bras in and only 2 that fit and one of them isn't a perfect fit so really, I only have 1. My patience for the mail is so short. I hope the mailman is prepared for an ambush Friday and Saturday.

Off topic - my measurements (which I've triple checked now) and the bras Bratabase recommends do not line up, at all, with what has fit me best. Depending on where I stop on my ribcage on the perimeter measurement (I'm not sure where to stop) I come up with 10-12." But my 2 best fitting bras have cup depths of 8-9." Seriously, I know they fit, any larger and I'd be gapping. This method makes perfectly logical sense in my head, so what gives...

  • Ambush the postman you say? Keep in mind they have pepper spray and they aren't afraid to use it. ;)

    Have you considered applying for credit cards? In the interest of budget needs, as in your budget needs you to buy more bras with it - and because more is always the answer!

    ;)

  • are you doing all 3 measurements? For me (tho its been a year), Horizontal is 16 inches, Vertical is 15 and laying is 14, and I need 13.5 to 14. But I think its because my boobs are SO VERY saggy . . .I dont want them all stretched out like that, I want them bunched up in to a rounder shape. Plus, low-cut bras dont cover your whole breast, so the depth would be slightly lower for plunges, I think?
