Boobs, Lingerie & Bra Questions Thread (Continued)

I can't answer your question, but just thought you'd like to know when you go up a back size you're supposed to go down a cup size. For example, a 34D = 36C.

Measure your backsize and see what it is for yourself. Then try a AA or A cup to see how it feels/fits and decide for yourself.

What dress size are you? If you don't mind me asking..?

The best thing is to get measured somewhere like John Lewis or Debenhams (preferably John Lewis - their fitting gets a better reputation) as they should have a good range of bras. Your bra should feel snug on the loosest hook, as it'll stretch with age so you can move it to one of the other hooks to keep it snug.

I can't really go down a cup size, lol I have never seen a 36 or 34 AA in a shop and I have found it hard to find 36 A that cup size fits well I am size 10/12. I am pretty weird, haha!!

Quick question. Got measured a few months ago as a 30E. Majority of my bras are 30E/32DD depending on what I can find/afford...

Now, when I first put on a bra in the morning it fits fine, and boobs look fairly good. However by the end of the day, if I'm getting changed or whatever, I notice that I'm "escaping" and nipple is nearly making an appearance.
I can't feel myself falling out as I could when I was wearing my old size (32B...dear oh dear) and they seem fine when first put on... so I'm confused.

Bra too small? Bending over too much? Wrong style of bra? Any ideas?
I will go get measured again but its a bit of a trek to get to my nearest John Lewis/Bravissimo so may not be for a while.

Omg, exact same problem! I'm wearing 34DDs/Es and have exactly the same issue.
I'm guessing we need to go up a cup size

But doesn't it feel really tight like that? I have just measured my self I am 32 under bthe bust and 33 when I breathe all out, so I guwess your right and I'm an idiot lolo but when I wore a 32A when I went to wonderbra it started to feel tight under my bust. My bust is measured about 34 (When you measure that do you pull it tight or what??)

Ok thank you I will try to go somewhere to get that done. Thanks for your help

It's terrible how some people in shops really don't know what they're doing..

I got measured for a bra in La Senza, and I told the girl I normally wear a 34. And she measured me and she's like, well actually you're more of a 36... close to a 38.
Then I said, that's funny, I haven't worn a 36 in ages.. and then she asked me: 'Well have you gained weight'.

I got over the initial shock of some random shop assistant asking me if I had gained weight and responded: 'No actually I've lost 2 stone...'

Then she brought me out a size 32 bra to try on... Then I realised what the problem was, apparently she couldn't read.

Omg, exact same problem! I'm wearing 34DDs/Es and have exactly the same issue.
I'm guessing we need to go up a cup size

What's the best bra to wear with a backless dresssssss?????

a backless bra perhaps

WHATS. THE. BEST. BRA?

Most of the backless ones are crap.

no they're not. If you get a good one, thats been properly fitted to the outfit, they can be very good and supportive

Yeah that's why I'm asking which styles are the best from peoples experiences. Erm, not quite sure how I can make what Im asking any clearer.

For example:
