I actually JUST NOW found the option where you can search on bratabase for bras based off the bra measurements. I compared the 3 bras I have tried that fit the best - 32J Cleo Lily (strap issues notwithstanding,) Panache Floris (I have yet to update this one on bratabase... bad stinkmouse!,) and 32J Jasmine.
Not surprisingly, the data points for those 3 bras are very similar *thumbs up* I then used that data to 'data-mine' (I hope I'm using that term correctly) for other bras that might work. That didn't yield many results at all. I then utilized the option where you can get even more results by entering thresholds along with each measurement. I'm sure there was a highly analytical methodology for my process... but as of this moment, I can't recall what it was. I'm too damn lazy, ya'll!
Bratabase spat out a list of 28 bras. A significant portion of them I know will not work because I have tried them and the rest I am fairly certain will not work because of the way the cups are engineered.
After spending more time on this review and analysis process than I care to admit, I believe only a few on the list might actually be worth trying:
*********************
Bravissimo Alana 32JJ
Curvy Kate Emily 32J
EM BM Szarotka 75J
*********************
The list also included 3 sized 70J EW 'CHP' models... not sure how those would work for me. I have tried several padded moulded bras (Anna Pardal, Comexim, and Parfait Charlotte) in a bra store while being properly fitted and they just didn't work. I fell out of the middle and the moulded shape of the bra did not match up well with my breasts. I really love the look of the bras, however. The SM Bezyk also appears on the list in a size 75J, but I don't like the design of the cups.
I was hoping some of these bras would be available under listings... alas, it is not so. I am a tad excited, however, that there might be some other bra brands and models out there that could work for me!

Stink, you know I'm a 32J, right? and Floris is my best fit by far. I'm waiting on 2 EM bras and I'll be sure to post them when they get here. My next best so far was Marcie, aside from the incup quadding. I havent tried a jasmine - it looked pointy?
Yes, I think that is why I followed you because we are the same size! I am anxiously awaiting your EM posts! The Jasmine can be problematic trying to find the right size. I think it's because of the stretch material. I started off in the 34GG which I thought fit, then I tried the 34H which I also really was sure it fit. The 34H sister size would be a 32HH - but I am currently in a 32J and this one REALLY fits. So that is 4 different cup sizes right there that seem like they fit. In all the jasmines regardless of the size, it's a very very up front and lifted appearance. Mostly round but with aa tiny hint of a point at the apex. I happen to like it and I don't think it is 'pointy.' Just me! :) I haven't tried the marcy but I'm going to later this month... whenever they decide to release the new season to my bra store. Supposed to be 3/17.
