So I was at a specialized bra fitting shop, and the lady owner gave me this bra to try, I loved the color and she said it fits nice, so I bought it, but as I wore during the day, I felt suffocated with the band being tight, and felt like the cups were digging in the sides, this is Corin brand, 32(70)E size, i want second opinion so im requesti for fitting advice here, thank you,,

Oh dear, this bra is many cup sizes too small for you. This is a terrible fit! You should absolutely never go back to that store. If you can get a refund, I'd do that.
The band might feel too tight only because of the cups being so small, but based on the measurements of your ribcage you've posted you should wear at the very smallest a 75 band.
I suggest you follow the instructions and measure yourself according to this calculator here https://www.abrathatfits.org/calculator.php , and post the result here / post your measurements here and we can give you a much better size to continue with.
Also to check the fit of a bra, you also need to do the "scoop and swoop". If you do this in this bra is suspect all of your boob will be completely overflowing the cups of the bra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks6BCcsvrrs

I'm sorry you had to go through that experience. That person is just a sales-person. Doesn't actually know anything about fitting it seems. They just want to sell so they will say anything looks great because they don't know how it should look when it fits either.
So 80H in EU size.
You tried previously a Kris Line in a 75FF, Kris Line is a little different with their sizes compared to other European brands, but I think you could definitely start with 80H (which would be a 36FF UK size if you would order from the UK.) But you can probably fit into 75 bands too from brands that have stretchier bands, like Freya for example.But 80H - you can find this size very easily at Zalando, and since they have free shipping and returns you can order a few different bras in different sizes, like 80H, 75I, 80I etc.

Thank you,
And yeah i agree,So 80H in EU and Japanese size both,
I guess thats 36FF in UK size,
Kris Line bras are beautiful but do not seem to agree with my breast shape, or maybe I havent tried enough of their other styles and equivalent sizes, can be harder as I already knew their sizing is a bit different,I will definitely try this suggested size 80H,(UK 36FF),
And see how it goes:)Thank you for your advice and suggestion!

I'd try maybe Elomi, Curvy Kate and Freya in a few bras. I'd stay away from padded bras like this one, and go for unlined bras.
Hopefully you will come back with a much better fit :)

Thank you! :)
Oh and this bra is also not padded lol.. so that makes it worse that even without padding, too much tight everywhere.. :/ beautiful bra though,
Will check out the brands you suggested, Thank you once again!

helpfulI agree that looks several cups sizes too small. As a general rule even in a low cut bra I don't think areola should be peeking out the top in most cases. :/ How is the wire in your armpit area? Is it sitting on the edge of your breast? It might be that as you size up this bra will be too wide and shallow for you....

I figured:(
I felt like shes just killing me with fake kindness,
The other bras she gave me to try besides this one, the sizes were all different ranging from 34B to 36C, and I think 32D as well, I felt so confused.. Although im aware that sizing and fitting of bras differ from brand to brand and bra to bra.. the 34B bra I tried on breasts were bulging over the cups and when i told her she said oh its because its just half cup..
Anyways, i used the size calculator you have, and according to that it suggests 80H, may or may not be accurate becus again, you never know unless you actually try on,
My measurements are underbust 88cm snug, overbust 112cm,
I did the scoop and swoop method thing and my nipples were showing.. lol..
Thanks for the advice:)
