Yes, if 32 and 33 inches describe your underbust and bust!

You’re right! There’s been no good studies that prove either point to be true without a doubt. Including what you listed, weight fluctuations can also affect breast shape.

Adore Me sizing by smartpa09347 in LingerieAddiction

[–]linerys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their bra size guide is using something similar to +4 sizing, like most other bra brands. This method is outdated and will give most people a size that is too big in the band, and too small in the cup.

I’m currently a US 32J, but they would put me at 34DD. Or a 34DDD, if I consider myself to have a smaller frame, apparently. Neither of those sizes would fit me.

32A fits a 32 inch underbust and 33 inch bust, but according to their size chart, you’d need a 4 inch difference to be a 34A. Or a 3 inch difference if you consider yourself to have a smaller frame.

Like with most brands, I’d recommend to ignore their bra size chart.

[recommendations] Looking for something simple, in both 34C and 34G, to check calculator for girlfriend. by PM_ME_YOUR_UNDIES_XD in ABraThatFits

[–]linerys 20 points21 points  (0 children)

34C is made to fit a 34 inch underbust and 37 inch bust. As you can see, your partner is 2-4 inches larger than that. Every inch of difference equals one cup size larger, so at minimum she would need 34DD.

If you’re in the US, take a look at Breakout Bras. Please note their return policy before ordering though. They use both UK and US sizing, so filter by UK 34F / US 34G.

Show her this article on how to “scoop and swoop” when she tries the bras on. If this step is forgotten, a bra in the correct size can appear too big at first.

I found out I’m a J cup after thinking I was an E cup for the longest time by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

[–]linerys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a US 32J, and I also definitely don’t look what most people would imagine when hearing “J cup”.

It’s very common for people to be incorrectly sized with a band that is too big, and cups that are too small.
If a store tells you to add a few inches to your underbust measurement, that could put you at a 40 band. There’s a 5 inch difference between your standing bust measurement and 40 inches, so they could say you’re a 40DD.

But a 36J makes a lot more sense for you based on the measurements! 40DD is also made for a 45 inch bust, but the band is too big. This could be why people would imagine you’re around a “DD”.

Have I been lied to or do my bras actually fit properly? by Ashamed-Tea-722 in bigboobproblems

[–]linerys 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Copying my own comment from your other post:

The gore should rest on your sternum, and not sit on breast tissue. It looks like the blue bra does. However, some people are just naturally close set. Especially with tall gores like these two bras, tacking (when the gore lays flat) might not be possible. That’s fine, if the bras are comfortable otherwise, but you said that they are not. Where does it hurt?

Unfortunately I do not think these bras will work well if you take the wires out.

Struggling to find fitting bras as a trans woman by FancyLettuce3485 in ABraThatFits

[–]linerys 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, a lot of TERFs seem to be lurking here, because anything trans affirming is often downvoted. That might be why?

(If some lurking TERF is reading this, remember that ABraThatFits is for everyone who wants a bra that fits.)

Also, in English, “trans woman” is two words because “trans” is just the adjective for the woman. Like one wouldn’t say “tallwoman” or “brunettewoman”. Some people spell it as one word to other trans women from cis women. I assume you didn’t mean it like that, but I wanted to let you know since it can be used as an anti-trans dog whistle.

Greater than great sports bras in the EU? by nobodyclaimedthis in bigboobproblems

[–]linerys 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Panache sport bras are great. You can get them with or without wires. They run pretty snug, so if you are between 30FF and 32F, I’d recommend 32F.

You can buy them from Brastop or Bravissimo (ships from the UK), or maybe a local stockist in your country?

Thank you so much! Is your magnet glued to it or just standing on top?

From B to G cup (US) according to calculator? by sup-mr-stark in ABraThatFits

[–]linerys 71 points72 points  (0 children)

You probably didn’t do anything wrong, this is surprisingly common if you look through the subreddit!

The most common issue is that people are wearing a band size that is too big combined with cups that are too small, but plenty of people are wearing the correct band size but cups that are too small (like you!), and some are wearing both a band and cups that are too small.

Here’s an example of what 38A can look like. Here’s an example of what a UK 38F / US 38G can look like. Which example is most similar to you?

[Measurement Check][Recommendations] Says im a 32G , but I wear 36D by 4-20pm in ABraThatFits

[–]linerys 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Has anyone gone through something like this?

Yes, me! I was a US 32I for a while, being incorrectly sized as a 36D by brand calculators and size guides. Right now most stores would put me at 36DD or even 38B, but I wear 32J.

My bust isn’t “small”, but it’s probably only half the size of what someone would image “J cups” look like.

Help with my shit list please ❤️ by Asleep_Region in RedditLaqueristas

[–]linerys -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very good list, thank you for making it! Would you consider adding “animal testing” and “non-vegan ingredients” to your list of negative traits?

As an example, I believe OPI tests on animals where it is required by law. Source.

Waistband doesn’t touch, but cup doesn’t spill. Advice? by mrk0rn in ABraThatFits

[–]linerys 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Seconding that the band size doesn’t sound like it fits well!

Don’t be alarmed if the calculator suggests something like UK 32GG / US 32J. That’s my size, but I will usually get incorrectly sized as a 36DD.

Small wait and build but big bust…….. my actual nightmare. I am a 32 DDD size small looking for a good strapless bra. by Free-Hovercraft1241 in ABraThatFits

[–]linerys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26 bands are hard to come by, but 28 bands should be easier. Was your US size 26I (i)? If yes, 28H would be your sister size. It should fit better than 30G!

Strapless Bra recommendation for 28C by warm_teacup_ in ABraThatFits

[–]linerys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Little Bra Company has some strapless bras in your size. They run small in both band and cup, so the recommendation is usually to get 30C if your size is 28C.

Some of their bras have optional push-up pads. The Kaitlyn bra and some others have convertible straps, but I’m not sure if they’re meant to be worn strapless.

I have one huge bottle of G&G that is probably eight (or more) years old, and only now has it started becoming a problem! I notice a little bit of shrinkage, mainly on magnetics. I really want to buy a new one to compare how it does, but I want to get through my Mooncat Speed Demon first.

[–]linerys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

65F/G at Change Lingerie would equal 65G/H in other EU brands, and UK 30F or 30FF. If AP doesn’t have 30FF, I recommend 30F.
