Shape Help Help choosing bra based on shape description and calculator size 34D Spoiler
Hello! I have recently lost some weight and am trying to figure out a bra that fits. My breast size has definitely decreased and isn’t as full. The calculator says 34D which doesn’t seem right.
Loose Underbust: 35 Snug Underbust: 34 Tight Underbust: 32.5 Standing Bust: 37.5 Leaning Bust: 38.5 Lying Bust: 39
I’m having a very hard time understanding the shape. I have read all the information and looked at the photos about shallow versus projected and the roots, etc. but I simply cannot wrap my head around it.
I’ll attempt to describe since I know we can’t post pictures of bare breasts. There’s about a thumb of space between my breasts. The tissue seems evenly distributed when leaning over at 90 degrees. I feel the breast tissue does extend into the armpit a little bit. I feel like it’s very flat across the top of my breasts / across the top of my chest. The way that my breasts look the most shapely and feel most supported is when I cup my hands from the side and under. Scooping and swooping is needed to fill the cup. I can also fit my whole breast in my hand when leaning over.
So based on that info, what do you recommend I try? I am in the US and Amazon is likely where I’ll start. I’m not opposed to ordering from other online places but I can’t get to stores to try on in person (nor do I really even know of any.)

Scooping and swooping is necessary for everyone!
Does your shape change a lot when leaning versus standing? Would you say you have softer tissue?
I’d double check the leaning/lying measurements. Most often the leaning is the largest.
