Ladies: Bra Size changes?

I trained as a custom bra-maker, and a bridge that sat away from the chest wall was a sure sign that the cups were too small, so if you essentially "push your chest wall back" by losing fat there, and had no change in breast size the result would be that the cup that fit previously would then become too small.

I don't know if that makes sense. I usually like to make diagrams, lol.

Ah. That makes complete sense. Even in my larger band size my bridge sat way out. Now it's snug up against my chest. (I just checked at work, I hope everyone saw.)

Lol, probably just made their day

Edited because the smiley I chose came out more creepy than silly. Just imagine a cheeky (but not creepy) smiley at the end there.

I went from a 36D to a 34A And my boobs are so extremely deflated and saggy.
Like floppy pancakes.

Again, I needed the bigger cup size before even attempting to size down the band. So I'm still not sure exactly what's going on but I guess it is what it is.

Maybe we should all start a pool of gently-used bras until we all hit our goal weights. LOL

Could you have lost fat deposits where the bridge of your bra sits? If your breast size didn't change, the distance between the apex (nipple) and your chest wall would increase (and therefore the total distance from the bridge side to outer edge would also increase) if there was no longer a fat pad pushing the bridge outward.

Edit: I thought of an analogy, admittedly a bit silly, but here it is: Two mountains, partially submerged. When the water level recedes, the total volume above water is greater, because the mountains rest on the sea bed (chest wall) rather than the surface of the water.

Also a possibility there. My best guess is that I was between the two sizes and the fat loss around my ribs finally made my body prefer one size over the other. I was probably almost gapping in the DD and barely spilling over in the D.
