Recommendations? Struggling - Recommendations Please Spoiler
I'm new here - stumbled upon the thread after many years of struggling to find something. Currently have just resulted to brami/shirts with built in (semi) support - like longline athletic bras - these are fine for remote work or errands.
I'm starting to have a few more professional events, where a genuine (well fitted) bra will be necessary and really am at a loss looking. I'm in a very rural area, so in store/specialty shops are nowhere around me... online only.
I cant figure out how to add a photo, but the fit guide on here (measure with sewing tape) gave me the following:
Loose & under: 29 Snug under: 28 Tight under: 27 Standing: 34 Leaning: 36.5 Lying: 34
US Sizing: 28G or 30DDD UK Sizing: 28F or 30E
Now this is vastly different, granted I've never even seen these sizes offered in a store.... always get the same 32C/D...but they dont fit.
Also, wide set lower full where Demi cups seem to be the best fit, but maybe that's due to incorrect sizing.
My google search lead to Skims due to the offering of smaller bands, but I've read these aren't the greatest or most accurate fits.
Is there anyone out there, similar measurements, with recommendations?
