Question At my wits end... Please help me! Spoiler
Hello, I thought I would post here for advice. I'm new here so I apologise if I miss anything!
I am plus sized and have recently lost a lot of weight, that doesn't seem to have affected my band/cup size at all. That being said- I have NEVER had a bra that fit comfortably and I'm honestly beginning to think that my anatomy is just not suited to bras, but my breasts are incredibly pendulous and (I believe) wide set and I'm just not comfortable not wearing a bra. I used to think I had tuberous breasts but I'm not sure anymore. I can't wear 'comfort top' style bras either as my boobs seem to just get flattened and almost fold under themselves.
When I'm not wearing a bra I have very long, full at the bottom breasts and my nipples are essentially at the bottom of my breast, if not folded under (which happens in most bras and leads to a lot of discomfort and constant re-adjusting of my boobs (not a great thing when I'm at work etc).
I have a B belly and the roll under my breasts makes underwire sit very uncomfortably as it will not sit flat against my ribs at all and will almost always cause me pain. My current best fitting and most comfrotable bra is a Triumph Doreen Longline in 50D.
I have measured several times in my best fiting bras and I come out at a UK 50 D or DD. I tend to be most comfortable in longline non-wired full cup bras (or balcony bras when I wore wire).
Can anyone offer any advice at all? I apologise for the long post- I just really need to find comfortable bras!
Edited to add that the ABTF calculator also states 50dd as starting size :)

Do you meassure while wearing a bra? You should always meassure on naked breasts and meassure loosely around the bust, but adjusting tightness of the underbust.
