What a gorgeous photo. Who is it?
I don't know unfortunately. It is a terrific photo - I may even print it out and pop it in a frame. Maybe in the bathroom - something for guests to look at while they are on the loo! I wonder if they'll comment on it.
34D *looks* close, but I’m wondering if her back size might be smaller than 34. Possibly 32DD - although, I’d expect to see a tiny bit more volume if she was a 32DD. But, it’s a decent guess and I’d certainly be trying her with both.
I did think 32, but then I wasn't sure so I went for 34. I seem to be getting better at this.
When we do the 34D/32DD or 32HH/34H thing, this is called “sister sizing”. It’s really useful for a number of things - the first being the variance in the size/fit from one bra manufacturer to another. For example, a 32FF in a Freya bra might not be exactly the same as a 32FF in a Curvy Kate bra, so sometimes there’s a slight adjustment in size required.
That is really helpful. It kinda reminds me of a tolerance measurement in engineering.
Also, sometimes when you try on a certain bra, it’s obvious that it doesn’t work for some reason
Are the more expensive brands more consistent. As the band is elasticated - I wonder how they measure for that at the factory.
The basic principle is this: if you go up a cup size, go down a band size - and if you go down a cup size, go up a band size.
I wiill write this down. It seems the key.
I can tell you that it works like magic when you have someone wearing a very tight 30G (which they think is their size because their boobs fit in the cups but the back band is really tight and riding up) and you give them a 32FF to try on. The look on their face is priceless
I suspect wearing the correct bra after wearing the wrong one for so long would be fantastic. I can empathise. I guess that with women's weight often changing through their lives this will be a constant process.
Happy boobs make happy women.
My three favourite things.
