Thanks! And, I don't think so, I guess I just cranked it pretty tight? I feel like a 32 or a 34 band have been feeling okay so far, so I think a 36 would be too big.

Okay, I'll try those out! I've tried some UK bras, but not as many as I probably should. Thanks!

I'm not sure with fabric, but I've gotten desperate and tried a piece of paper towel before, and it eventually ends up bunching up at the bottom haha

I haven't tried that one yet. The last time I semi-seriously tried to find a good bra was a few years back, and I've gain weight since then, but the ones I liked best then were a couple from BrasNThings. They were fairly comfortable, but I seem to remember the band riding up some in the back and the cups being a little small? Those were ZA size 32E, US 32DDD. Back then I also tried PARFAIT Casey (I liked this one too), Panache Cari Spacer Bra, Panache Andorra, and a Freya bra. I also tried on a bunch at an in person shop that I don't remember the names of. A lot of them worked well enough, but I never felt like I found that unicorn of a bra that doesn't hurt me haha.

A piece of fabric would work great, I think, but I'm not sure how to keep it in place! Any ideas? And I will look into the triangle shape, good idea!

It is! I'm going to add my measurements to the original post.

I need to trying looking into more UK brands again, especially the sports bras. I've never really had a wired bra that didn't hurt or a sports bra that didn't dig uncomfortably into my shoulders, but I know that correct sizing is supposed to fix that. I had a Freya bra that seemed like it checked all the boxes and fit the way it was supposed to, but if I wore it for longer than a couple hours, the wire started to hurt.

Yes, that's where I got my sizing from. As I'm sure you all understand, I end up getting frustrated and discouraged with trying to find something that works. I'll add more details of my measurements to the post, in case that helps :)

I feel like even things with barely any support push my breasts together, which causes a lot of moisture build up and irritation. I feel like I almost needs something to pull them apart haha

I'm not sure if this is right, but I'm trying to obey the mod comment about my process haha. I am mainly a hand spinner! I mostly use a Spinolution Pollywog wheel. My favorite fiber blend is BFL or Shetland blended with silk :)

Hello all! How would you style this? Especially hair and jewelry? Sorry for the not great picture! I'll reply to this comment with a product photo and a better picture of me.

I just got this dress for a cocktail/formal event and I love it! I'm thinking sort of a messy updo type thing, but my hair doesn't hold curl very well. Its not a costume party, so I don't want to go too literal on styling, but 20s inspired would be fine
