    Actually, you should get yourself re-fitted by a boutique that specializes in women's lingerie. As your band size goes down, your cup size will actually go up. I was shocked, when even though the girls seemed a bit smaller, that my band size went down and my cup size went way up. I went from a 40C to a 36DDD. Granted, I was probably wearing the wrong size to begin with, but still....

    ETA: And it's a wrong interpretation by society that a bigger cup size means bigger ta-tas...because it doesn't. The actual cup size is usually the same for the most part, but it's how it fits on the band and shapes around your breasts that changes.

    I agree with this. Most women are wearing the wrong size bra to begin with. If your weight is changing, you should get a professional fitting at a bra shop (Nordstrom's does a good job too). Victoria's Secret is awful for fitting bras--they top out at DDD. The formula of measuring your ribs & adding 4"/5" to it is crap. Your underbust measurement should be your band size, then you subtract from your bust measurement to get your cup size. Since most stores top out at DD, most women go up in band size so they can fit their breasts into the cups when they should actually be getting a cup size that is above DD. With all the weight I've lost, getting bras that fit has been the biggest hassle. All women should read the info at this site:

    http://www.bralessinbrasil.com/p/finding-bras-that-fit.html

    A good online calculator is http://www.sophisticatedpair.com/bracalculator.htm

    I've been professionally fitted twice now (one local bra shop & once at Nordstrom's) & the calculator matched what I was told. I'm now wearing a much larger cup size than I ever would have imagined (34G) because I really don't consider myself a busty woman. But, the bras fit properly which makes me so angry when I think about how women are being duped & how uncomfortable it is to wear a bra that fits wrong--the constant shifting, adjusting, quad boobs, & overspill. Shoulder pain from the straps taking the weight instead of the band! Grrrr!

    I'm going to agree with people that say to get a good bra fitting and try a bunch on to find a good fit. The band range is a lot smaller than people realize. It can go down to 28 or 30 and if you have an even smaller rib cage (I do), some companies run even smaller in the band size. I just got some new bras and I am so happy and amazed by how comfortable they are and how well they fit because they are scaled down for a smaller frame size. A lot of bras as they get smaller still do not take into account that the entire body is smaller in every way and the cups need to be closer together and all of that.

    In the past my bras were too big in the band/straps, but smooshing my breasts in the cups (and every time I moved around the bra would shift out of place). Now, they fit and support my breasts the right way.

    And also, if you are slimmer, fitter, smaller, it's often natural for your breasts to also be proportionally a bit smaller, firmer, perkier, etc.

    The solution to this is to stop wearing bras, then you'll never go down a size.

    I have only lost a little bit of weight so far and I have a lot to go. But this thread made me think of my sister the other day. (I could tell my boobs are getting smaller.) I caught her the other day looking at my chest and she says "where are your boobs going?" haha

    Chest flys, bench press will make your breasts look spectacular after a loss.. In the past I have lost from my breast first but this time around I've been able to maintain my C's. :blushing:

    Aw man, mine are small enough. Of course when I put weight on, it does not go to my boobs. When I lose weight, I'm sure they will shrink.

    I've gone from a 40D to a 32DD. Less volume, but still pretty perky. No complaints here
