Bra fitting help » Unsure if bra is too small or too big


Kensie » Chloe Push-up Bra (R7713502) » 32DD 32:5

Issue resolved

I'll keep this bra but I will be looking for others. It doesn't fit perfectly, but it wasn't too expensive.

Original problem

I recently got new bras with my new measurements. I went from a 36 C to a 32 DD. I purchased this bra from Nordstrom Rack and after wearing, I have red marks from the band. I tried bras on there in 32D, 32DD, 32DDD, 34D, 34DD. The 32DD's fit the best, maybe not perfect.

I can't tell if the bra is too small, if I do a scoop and swoop, I tend to get quadboob until I hike the bra up a bit. I also have a bit of arm fat showing at times, even after the fact. I posted the pictures on ABraThatFits (on Reddit) and some users suggested it was too small. Some said maybe it's not a good shape? That maybe my breasts are shallow?

But at the very top, sometimes the bra isn't flat against my chest and there is a gap. So I'm having difficulty figuring out if it's too big, too small, or it works and I just need to train my arm fat to become breast tissue again?

Please help! I like the fit of the bra a lot and I purchased quite a few in the size so I want to hear from you before returning and starting over.
