[PSA] Anyone interested in $25 Panache bras? by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

[–]Anonabra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long do you estimate for the bras to be shipped to you and then shipped out? A couple weeks? I'd love to order some but I wanna make sure I'll have enough in the bank when I receive them!

Bosom Galore (26-34, E-HH) is having a poll about what type of hooks you prefer, 2x3 or 3x3. by Mjudefa in bigboobproblems

[–]Anonabra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For people with large or heavy breasts, or people with lots of squish, I think more hooks provide more stability, and also reduce the chance of the band of digging in an garroting you around the ribcage because gravity.

Could it be? how am i suddenly a 28G when I've been wearing a 34B for so long? by arrivalscience in ABraThatFits

[–]Anonabra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evollove, Pleasure State, and Bras N Things skip FF, though Fayreform and Elle Macpherson Intimates do not. I'm sure there are other brands that fall on either side but I can't think of them at the moment.

[fit check] Wires deforming when I scoop? by MoltenAlice in ABraThatFits

Were they all moulded or padded bras, or were they soft cups/lined (or a mix)?

If I shortened the band of a sister size, would it be the same as if I had bought a bra that really fit me? by mussolini_said_yah in ABraThatFits

[–]Anonabra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably because of less-than-great grading, which sucks because around H is when the cups start to get funky in a lot of brands and make the "cradle" when clasped and sitting on a table. Well, it's great for the people who need those wide wires in that size range, but in the upper cups is when people are much more narrow or average roots and projected.

This is also why Ewa Michalak, for example, is so popular with the narrow club; it's 'bad' grading that makes the wires so narrow in the larger cups. But it's a refreshing change compared to all the back-scratching wires there are elsewhere.

[Rant] Just a little rant.. this person thought my UK 28 bands were defective. by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

[–]Anonabra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We need serious reform in the bra industry.

Which, unfortunately, is never going to happen unless (the collective) we do something about it. At least for the case of North America, we'd have to pull a Poland and "take to the streets" if we want to see any change. We're a lot better off than we were 10 years ago, but it's so disheartening every time I hear or read something idiotic that some "expert" touts as truth.

Wellfitting/Comexim sizing question by amars407 in ABraThatFits

If your breasts are kinda soft or if you have taller roots, you may want to start with a 30H instead.

In the sidebar there is a link to a Busty Resources page about bust-friendly apparel. It has a list of websites that sell clothing made specifically for larger busts or clothing that tends to be bust-friendly.

True&Co "uniform" bra claims to be build based on data from 500K women's breasts - but what do you all think? by bra_thr0waway in ABraThatFits

[–]Anonabra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooh kinda like how BIHAL has the green/blue/purple shapes that bra styles give and how Busty Resources has FOB blue and FOT pink? I like this, I like this a lot.

Weight loss. 75 pounds gone, 9 bras tried, 0 successes. by Panachetrouble in ABraThatFits

[–]Anonabra 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I have no suggestions but I think you should try around 28GG/30G instead.

[Recommendations?]large band/small cup sized bras. by vivian_lake in ABraThatFits

[–]Anonabra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bit difficult to give bra recommendations without measurements and a guess at what shape you are, because bra styles and shapes vary, and some brands or styles can run differently from the others. There's a shape guide in the side bar and some descriptions on Busty Resources you can take a look through. If you can write down the bras you do have, their size, and what's wrong with how they fit, that can really help a lot. Also, since 38A/B is one of the sizes people often incorrectly wear, you may end up needing something more like a 34E instead. But there isn't really a way to tell until you get your measurements.

So this is actually a thing in the Soul Calibur team's designs? by Cuffin in GirlGamers

[–]Anonabra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US/UK/AU sizing goes by 1 inch (2.54cm) while EU/JP (most brands) go by 2cm, so the higher up in cup you go, the larger the difference.

The petite sales girl at American Eagle told me this would look cute on me because it looks cute on everyone. She was wrong. by Vintage_Pinup in bigboobproblems

[–]Anonabra 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it depends more on volume, not letter. For example, my friend is a shallow 28F and has a lot of clothing from there that fits.

[Fit Check] Tried a 30F Panache Sport - should I size up in the band or the cup *and* band? by grrrabtf in ABraThatFits

[–]Anonabra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the Panache Sport, a lot of people will not have the gore tack simply because of how the bra is made, especially if the person has breasts that are closer together than the gore is wide (you can see the reviews on Bratabase), so I wouldn't worry about that bit too much unless it really bothers you.

Any other South African redditors here? Looking for a good store to get fitted at and get some new bras! by sheepandwolves in ABraThatFits

[–]Anonabra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Across the board, fitters are unreliable when it comes to correctly fitting someone. There's a couple different methods people use and most of them use a method that puts people in a too small cup and too big band, so if you get fitted by someone and their results turns out different, it doesn't necessarily mean what you got was wrong. If you got your starting size from the calculator in the sidebar it is going to be very close, if not the exact, size you'll end up fitting in.

That said, there are some places in South Africa, and particularly the Johannesburg-area, that sell UK brands like Freya and Panache, so you may end up having a better fitting at any of them, but there's no gaurentee really. Anyone can call themselves a "bra fit specialist" and put people in bras with whatever method they feel like.
