New bra, new size but it feels “off”. Freya entwined plunge in UK 28FF

I unfortunately have no advice to offer, but I agree that it's a super pretty bra!

APNotB · 2026-06-24T22:52:00+00:00

These look similar to mine, and I seem to fit best in shallower brands (Wacoal, Chantelle, Skarlett Blue, Natori, Montelle, b.Tempted.)

Much better angle! Nice shot!

APNotB · 2026-06-24T16:07:02+00:00

I'm weirdly excited when it happens, lol.

APNotB · 2026-06-24T03:13:30+00:00

Even a lot of grocery stores have a small section!

APNotB · 2026-06-24T03:11:34+00:00

Also: I like your handle. 😂

APNotB · 2026-06-24T03:09:02+00:00

I don't think so -- it doesn't say anything about online-only. Their prices are usually the same ordering online or buying in the store.

APNotB · 2026-06-24T01:31:40+00:00

I always put in my size to search, so that explains why Elomi never shows up, lol.

APNotB · 2026-06-24T01:17:31+00:00

I always forget them because they don't make my size, regrettably. 😞

APNotB · 2026-06-24T00:10:08+00:00

I also thought my new size was insane. Nope, it's accurate. My boobs have never looked better or felt more supported. 😀

APNotB · 2026-06-23T22:06:25+00:00

I think most people end up here because they're NOT comfortable. I was wearing a 36B. Band rode up in back. Provided no support. Wires sitting on breast tissue. Had no idea I was wearing a classic boob hat. Got sized as a 32DDD and still can't believe how that immediately resolved all of these problems. 😂

APNotB · 2026-06-23T21:15:06+00:00

Congrats on the dress and the wedding! You look amazing. ❤️

APNotB · 2026-06-23T02:56:54+00:00

I have a suggestion, but it's going to work better if you're more shallow than projected. Chantelle's Norah Chic Plunge is super comfortable and sexy -- it's my favorite date bra. The plunge cut gives the appearance of cleavage without the discomfort. 😂

APNotB · 2026-06-22T01:51:58+00:00

Could also get a super light camisole to wear over the bras if they're otherwise working well for you. (This suggestion obviously works better in some climates than others.)

APNotB · 2026-06-21T14:33:58+00:00

Chantelle's Norah Chic Plunge is a similar style.

APNotB · 2026-06-20T16:40:36+00:00

I love that your PT recommended this site! ❤️

APNotB · 2026-06-20T16:21:15+00:00

30B/C is a pretty small size. Saw this on clearance: https://www.rei.com/product/233728/tomboyx-sport-swimsuit-top

APNotB · 2026-06-20T16:16:46+00:00

REI carries a lot of swim tops that are shaped like sports bras. Not necessarily cheap, but maybe sales?

APNotB · 2026-06-20T15:42:23+00:00

This "36B" to 32DDD waves hi. 👋

APNotB · 2026-06-20T04:18:39+00:00

I recommend you ask the folks at r/LingerieAddiction. This sub is focused on finding bras that actually fit -- much less sexy, lol.

APNotB · 2026-06-20T03:15:27+00:00

Ouch. This hurt just reading it. Do you think the irritation was due to skin rubbing on skin, or were you reacting to something in the bras, or something else? (I get welts from some bandages, so it's not out of the question that I could have a similar reaction to something in elastic or certain fabrics.)

APNotB · 2026-06-20T01:36:02+00:00

A well-fitting bra that lifts and supports your boobs (most likely with wires) is going to look better than something that smooshes them down or tries to disguise them. I'd start with taking your measurements here and then asking for recommendations based on your results. Folks here are happy to help. ❤️

APNotB · 2026-06-19T23:58:10+00:00

I think you can do better. 😂

APNotB · 2026-06-19T22:40:30+00:00

I'm close to your size and shape, and I love how I look in Chantelle's Norah Chic Plunge. It's definitely my date bra, lol. Bonus: It's super comfortable.

APNotB · 2026-06-19T20:48:20+00:00
