Need recs for a friend!
So my "34C" friend I mailed a 32D to, she finally measured her snug ribcage last night at 28" and said she's ready to throw out all her old bras lol. Yes!!!
So the 32D I gave her fits in the cups perfectly, it's a VS lightly padded style and from what I remember about that bra and all the VS's I used to own, it's fairly shallow as is common in her size range. So since the cups are right, I told her to look for 30DD's and 28E's especially in Freya due to their stretchy bands.
She's quite below my size range and I'm not particularly shallow - so those of you who are familiar with this size, throw me some recommendations of good bras to start with! I want to link her to some stuff on Amazon - she prefers to use Amazon cause she has Prime and it's easy to ship and return. She's in the US. Hoping to find her some good deals, not too expensive since she's completely rebuilding her bra wardrobe and she's 3 states away from me so I can't be there to assess a good fit, all I can do is try to troubleshoot if something doesn't fit her.
And, go!

Someone who has been wearing a 34C with a 28" underbust is unlikely to have a very accurate sense of what fits, so I'd be quite cautious about what she says is a "perfect fit" and advising her to spend money on that basis. I see quite a few reviews on here (not even fit requests--they don't even realize there's an issue) and even blog posts by bloggers who label things a "great fit" when it's actually very questionable. I would send her here or to Reddit ABTF, tell her to do a fitting request to verify how this bra fits and take it from there.
I'm totally with you on that wendybien. When I sent her the bra I sent along page long instructions with it covering the gore, band, cup width & depth & how to determine quad-boobing & so on. I've asked her like 10 times if she's super sure it fits according to the guidelines I sent her & she says it does. I've referred her both here & ABTF but I don't see her being a boob picture taker honestly. I think she's pretty self conscious. Since I can't make her do anything & still want to help her all I'm doing is the best I can!
