  • I have found that bra size and fit vary from brand to brand. It would be best for you to go get refitted.

    I've lost a little over 40 pounds, and my 42G bras are definitely too big. I ordered a bra in a 36DDD, but it's a little too small in the cup because my breasts spill over the top.

    I think i need to stick with a G cup, but go down to a 36 or 38 in the band. My question is, the cup sizes on a 36G is smaller than the cup size for a 42G, right, even though the letter is the same? (I know I need to get fitted, and I will some time next month).

    I found this a few weeks ago. Hope this helps!

    The only bad thing I got from this video is that I now know NONE of my underwire bras fit properly! It bothers me so much that I have been mostly wearing sports bras.

    Go into shop, try bras on :)


    Getting "fitted" will get one brand of bra to fit you in a set size,better trying them on as all brands can vary slightly.

    Brands and styles fit differently. You need to get refit in a lingerie department and then try on the bra. Materials can cause a bra not to fit or be as smooth under your clothing.

    Just get measured.....

    I've lost a lot of inches around my back but my bra size is still the same. Refitting when losing weight is really imperative or else you could be wearing the wrong size, risking discomfort or premature sagging due to lack of support..
