Ladies: Bra Size changes?

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.

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.

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.
