New avatar and size confusion!!!!

Hi girls. I had a sneaky try on in M&S. 36D was the best fit. However, measured myself at home and it is coming out as a 36B, almost C which seems ludicrous. I wore a 36B (albeit with some unoccupied space!) pre op and my old bras nowhere near cover my now ample assets! So confusing! x

Your avatar pic is beautiful and you definately don't look like a B cup in your avatar picture.Bra shopping is so hard! I'd just go with the D cup and try them to make sure you get a good fit. :)

Thanks hon. I am only almost 4 weeks post op so being a bit impatient. WIll get measures properly once I get the go ahead from my PS. I was so tempted to buy a bra but thought I had better not - that's why I have the label on the bra still in the pic - lol! x

Wow your avatar is fab!! No way are you a b you're at least a d xx

Thanks Tracy. That's what I think. I got moderate profile and they are quite wide - my old B cups don't cover anything - it's all hanging out at the sides!

Have you decided on your size?

Rach you are definitely bigger than a D babe! I think you'll get a shock like I did when you go & get measured properly! X

Hi Rachy, what do you meausere around your rib cage? I just dont think you look like a 36band... and if you measure smaller then you will need to go up in cup size.

Hi Sarahdawn. I measured 31 (just under) so added 5 on to get to 36 x

Hi hun, if you measure 31 you dont need to add anything to that size, you just round up to the neareast even number which would make you a 32 band (I know they will feel a lot tighter than a 36 and may feel uncomforatble) but the band and not the straps is the supporting element in a bra and your new big boobs will need all the support they can get. So if the D cup in a 36 band fitted you may need at least a 32F bra, but it's best to get fitted into a bra by a professional fitter I can recomend Bravissimo, they are excellent. If you try somewhere else and they use a measuring tape and add 3 or 4 inches you have not been given the correct info. So in my opinion you are probably a 32F or bigger.

There you go Rachy... Misf just summed it up perfectly... I thought by your Avatar you looked a 32... so congrats on what sounds like F cups!

I agree,now that we have your measurments,your definately a good size Hun!Take their advice and go to the shop they suggested that specializes in bigger breast sizes.

Thanks girls. I had no idea there was any other way of working out bra size. I think the way I find must be totally oudated. I have my post-op appointment in a week or so and will endeavour to get down to a decent bra place to get measured properly soon after. I had no idea Bravissimo had actual stores - thought it was online. Will have to Google to see if any near me (Bucks). Rach x
