This is the ideal bra for women in a bigger cup size who'd like to have a round shape without east-west-looking boobs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> The elastic material on the top of the cup fits for both, for full on top or bottom heavy breasts. I especially liked the extremly small center gore, it fits between breasts, that are not very separated, which is a common problem for women within my size range.

I am 7 months pregnant and trying to find supportive underwire bras.

This is my second pregnancy and I haven't gained nearly as much in my breasts as I did with my first. I had lost weight between the pregnancies and weighed less than I did before getting pregnant with my first.

Right before I got pregnant, I was a 34J. I have a short torso and my ribcage felt like it immediately expanded the day I got the positive test.

I'm wearing most of my 34/36 band bras (mostly HH cups as I didn't size up to the J) but with an extender and I'm finding it isn't enough.

Recently I ... bought a 38JJ - Panache » Jasmine (6951) . I have a 36HH - Panache » Jasmine (6951). I know it is a jump up in cup sizes but I wanted to make sure I'd have something that fit for when my milk comes in. Now I'm worried that I went TOO high and maybe a J would have been fine. The top of the cup gapes and I can't fill it so clearly it is too big. Looking at the bra volume chart, I'm wondering why I ever thought I'd gain THAT MUCH volume. It may need to find a new home if I don't get super engorged after my second is born.

I recently submitted my new measurements to /r/abrathatfits and a helpful user on there felt I was closer to a 38H. Seeing as how I feel my 36HH - Panache » Andorra Full Cup (5675) maaaaaay need to go up a size, I worry that it may be too much and am debating just going through Amazon since I have Prime in order to try on a few. It also helps that the Andorra can be altered into a nursing cup.

I also cannot stand the gore on the damn Jasmine (even the small one) and my best fitting bra is a 34HH - Curvy Kate » Emily (CK5001) . 34 sounds tiny but the band is pretty stretchy. The gore and wires are probably the best fit I've had so far.

Using the volume chart, the difference between the 38JJ Jasmine and the 36HH Jasmine is 740cc. The difference between the 36HH Andorra and the 38J Andorra is 660cc. I'm worried *that* is too high and maybe I should go for a 36 but I really really really hate tight bands right now and feel like I'm wearing an ill-fitting corset when I have them on due to the ribcage expansion. Or should I just size to a 38HH? The cups on the Andorra REALLY do feel like I'm maxing them out right now. I know it runs a size small in the cups...which is why I'd rather do a HH or a J.

I've updated my measurements here (not sure if y'all can see) and would really appreciate any help at all.

This bra fits exactly like my 40J - Panache » Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675) except the band is way more stretchy and the bottom of the cup is a three part non-stretch houndstooth print. This is not as well-designed as its cousin, the Andorra. The lace is not the same and not as supportive. Because of that I get in-cup quadding. Also, the ends of the rose pattern in the lace stick out and give it an unfinished appearance. It has the same fit issues I have with the Andorra as well. The band is ridiculously long and stretchy and useless. It would be nice if all bra brands could get their quality control fixed for larger band sizes.

This bra is strangely large on me. It's much larger in band and cup than my 40J - Panache » Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675), and also has a much taller gore and wings. I think if I sized down in the band and cup to a 36JJ it might fit okay. It is a much taller bra than the Andorra as well but I hope sizing down will fix the problem. I would love to be able to wear this bra as it is so soft and comfortable. I love that the bra fabric is also used on the band, which makes the band quite comfy and beautiful. I would really love to get my hands on this bra in Jade.

Fit is pretty good except the wires poke in my armpits and the gore floats just a little bit, but I think it may be because it is too long

At first, the underwire didn't bother me, but then I sat down and it began to really poke mu underarm. The band is a little stretchier than I would like. I like the wing height a lot! The Panache 38JJ - Panache » Ariza Balconnet Bra (5051) seems to be built very well, but I don't think it was built for my type of breasts.
