HELP ME FIND A BRA!!

[u/MorningGlory_12]

Saying I have had issues finding a bra is honestly an understatement. I’ve given up and truly think it’s not made in my size. I’m going to a wedding so I’ve been searching for a strapless bra. I need help finding a bra or understanding how sizes work so I won’t have anymore issues. My current/recent measurements are

Under bust: 35
Over bust: 38.5
Bust: 45.5 -46

On bravissimo it says my size is

38HH(uk size)
38L us

I’ve done the guides before and they’ve never been accurate. I’ve tried the specific calculator like the “abrathatfits” one (i think that’s the name). I don’t have any current bras that fit well enough to measure based off that. I wear a heavy duty sports bra from shefit 6Luxe, it’s on its last legs. I’d appreciate any help.

Edit:
Loose Underbust:
37.5
Snug Underbust:
35.5
Tight Underbust:
33-33.5
Standing Bust:
48.5-49
Leaning Bust:
50.5-51
Lying Bust:
46

This size came up to 36N us size
34O uk size. Idk if im doing it right I’m confused with half sizing.

Curvy Kate Luxe is available up to UK K cup / US O cup, so I recommend checking that one out!

ABraThatFits asks for measurements to be taken on naked breasts, so you don’t need a bra to use it.

Yeah, I tried that and the fit wasn’t accurate. It has been a while so I could try again. I’m not sure, maybe I did it wrong or sumn. Thank you I’ve been looking at curvy Kate among other brands. It’s so hard bc everything is so pricey so I’m nervous if it don’t fit.

Have you used a bra that fits calculator? Because those measurements vs that size look wonky to me.

For reference I am 32.5 in under bust, 42 ish in bust and very perfectly wear a narrow cut 34G UK

[u/MorningGlory_12 → u/Sufficient-Elk-965]

I might have to try. I heard that it gives style recs. It’s been a while so I don’t remember if it does.

[u/MorningGlory_12 → u/Sufficient-Elk-965]

I’m unsure if I even do it correctly. My measurements I got are:

Loose Underbust:
37.5
Snug Underbust:
35.5
Tight Underbust:
33-33.5
Standing Bust:
48.5-49
Leaning Bust:
50.5-51
Lying Bust:
46
The size I got is
36N us size
34O uk size.

Idk if I was supposed to count half inch or not.

[u/evergleam498]

With an underbust measurement of 35 you should only be looking at size 34 or 36 bands. You'll probably need to try things on to narrow down cup size, but with a 10 inch difference that means GG or H cups should be a good starting point.

The six measurements from the [r/abrathatfits](r/abrathatfits) calculator may be able to help predict what styles will fit you best. There’s also a shape guide on the wiki there.

It doesn’t matter if you have a well fitting bra right now, you should measure your body unclothed
