Help!! Anyone??!!!!
At the age of 34, I grabbed my moment the other day whilst in House of Fraser, to challenge the lady in the lingerie dept. She took one look and said I was a 30C! I always thought I was 34A!! She was so down to earth and I thought - well, it's about time I got measured. Why I never did this before is beyond me. What a revelation.......But, it's now turned into an obession......
She concluded I was indeed 30C - and she proved it to me. Only trouble is, I'm no ordinary 30C. My boobs broaden by the armpit, and that's why I need a wider cup.But, actually I have hardly anything on the top side. So, most bras are too loose fitting over top of the bust. It seems bras don;t come in a 30C!!! So, I'm having to try on 32C'S. But these just rise up over my boob andthat hurts.She found me a balconette bra - that seemed more flattering for my shape, but only one brand seemed to fit ok, as the band width happened to come up smaller.
BUT,we then realisedthat I have very prominent bones inbetween my boobs - and this means that the balconette style digs in the middle. Oh, the pain and misery!!
My preference would be to wear a 30C non wired bra. Actually, the non-wired bras seem bigger in the cup for some wierd reason. So I bought the M&S T-shirt bra in a 32A!! The cups not too bad - but the band width rises up!!!
Can anyone tell me if they know of a bra company that makes a30 band width above an A cup??????
It seems ludicrous to me that it should be such a rare thing. I look around, and there are loads of women who are narrow up top.
Wot's going on??? How long do I have to stay obsessed??? Someone, please bring me back to earth........
Thankyooooooooooooooooooooooo !

I've found the best staff to measure accurately are Debenhams.
I need to go for another measurement.
I find looking for a bra horrenous I'm a 32 HH unfortunately there's no shops nearby that sell that sort of size. Brought one from Rigby and Peller at Bluewater last October and that was £58 the cheapest one that fitted me, it don't fit me now either it's shrunk in the wash or I'm getting bigger 🙁
Did buy 2 from Bravissimo and like the Rigby one are all uncomfortable, if it wasn't for the fact I would suffer with bruises on my knee's I'd go bra less 😮

Hello Loopy,
You will find out that a lot of places are preaching for their own store and brands. In measuring women for bras, I have found the best way to do it and accurately. I have been in the business for over 20 years and I have always satisfied my clients. By the way, underwire bras I do not recommended.
It takes 6 measurements for ladies from a C down to an A and 8 measurements for ladies with a D and up. The types of bras I recommend, is the wonderbra & the 18 hour.
