Current measurements from Reddit calculator: L109, C105,T 97, and S136, LN141, L134. Roots: average to slightly short height, average to slightly wide width. Pendulous, soft, projected, aging tissue. About even fullness, but because it is so soft, functionally fuller on bottom, I'd guess. After a weight change, I needed new bras. My suggested size from the Reddit calculator was 40JJ or 42J (UK), As it can overestimate sizing in softer, less firm and pendulous breasts, I chose 40J/42HH as my starting point, one size smaller than the calculator. I ordered different models in several brands: Panache, Sculptresse by Panache, Elomi, Cleo by Panache, and Goddess.
The ... colorway, Very Pink, in the Brianna is more an electric lavender color. Typical of most UK bras in this size range, it has 3 hooks and straps around 1.8mm; the straps are likely long enough for most people. It, like a few others I tried, was a little creaky in a few places, but imagine if I washed it that this would go away.
The gore tacked nicely, the band fit was snug and didn't feel as if it were going to move, and the bottom of the cup fit in the IMF perfectly. The first time I tried it on, last week, I thought it too tight, but today, it seemed fine. Of course, I've lost 5 pounds in the last week (water weight from changing medication), so that could be why. I left it on by accident after I tried it on today - I got busy (work at home). It was an hour before I remembered it was on and that I needed to take it off. Seems very comfortable.
It is definitely a bit large on my smaller breast. It's just a teensy bit too large at the top of the cup in my larger breast. The wire is tallish, but not poking me. Like all UK bras, the wires/cups are too wide. While the bottom tacks nicely, as the wire heads off in a 50-60 degree angle from the bottom of the cup, I want it to be at an 85 degree angle. At the top of the cup, under my arm, there is at least 6-7 mm of fabric between the wire and the edge of my breast. But, in every other way, the Elomis fit me better than most and I haven't the means to order Polish.
I ordered a 42H to replace it. Now that I've lost a few pounds, I may wish I'd ordered a 40HH instead. I'll measure it soon and find out... I do have photos and I'll get them up soon.
