This was the perfect fit for me until a few years went by and the cups became too small.
I'm wondering if you could take a guesstimate on what new size I may be?

helpfulYou are probably a 30 band if those measurements of you are right. So, pick a bra you like and find one w a cup volume around 12.5, to match your perimeter. This bra has a cup depth of 10, obviously too small.
Thats what bratabase is good for - looking up the numbers

helpfulI'll be frank, it's a bit hard to say based on a bra that is so far from the right size! If your measurements are correct (I'm not positive because it's uncommon for horizontal and lying perimeter to be truly identical) I agree with the other posters you will be up in the GG/H range. Could be 30 in some brands, but IMO 32 will be fine in others, the test will be of course if you're secure and the band does not ride up. But I think we will be able to give better advice if you do another thread after finding a bra that is closer to the right cup volume, if not exactly right. That makes it easier to fine-tune

It was really late when I measured last night. I went to post and wasn't aware I had to enter measurement's, so it was done quickly.
I remeasured.
Standing, 11", bent over 12". I was told to lean forward to get an accurate measurement.
I do had a 34FF Savannah Fantasie which is too small in the cup as well. -
I'm talking about the lying down perimeter which can be seen in the chart, right above the "Nip to Neck" line?
That measurement is taken lying down on your back (so not standing nor bending forwards) so that hopefully the breast tissue sort of just sits instead of hanging due to gravity. This measurement is intended to help estimate roughly how much room your breast tissue needs when contained, and slightly compressed, in a bra cup.
A 34FF cup volume would be equivalent to a 32G so the fact that it is too small, suggests that the logical next step would be a 32GG/H as other posters have said. If it is only a bit too small try GG, if it seems still very much too small try H.

helpfulHave you asked bratabase for a recommendation? My guess would be 30H or 32GG. Do you have a good lingerie store or department store available where you could be professionally fitted?

I'm thinking I may just go back in and get fitted. I can't get in until Saturday so thought I'd ask here. :) Thank you for your help!
Also, I'm new here and have no idea how to ask bratabase.com! -
Mom2Two in the Bratabase header bar there's an icon that looks like 3 bars stacked together. Press or click and a drop down menu comes up. One of the items is My Recommendations. Press or click and you'll be taken to the page where you can request your recommendations be calculated.
I think it's a good idea to go for an in-person fitting, not just to find your current size but also to get their advice on types and brands that will work best for you.

Thank you for your input!
I'm new to the site and still trying to figure out my way around.
