• Hi why is wrong size?

• Hi maraki, I got this early in my bra journey so was still testing out different sizes :) Back then this was a little too small in the cup and band for me but I hadn't figured out my actual size yet - so not the bra's fault!

• Do you measure?I understand you it’s very difficult I try a lot of sizes ,as you can see.I use some calculator and put me inn32HH

• maraki At first I used this: https://www.abrathatfits.org/calculator.php, but now I just update my measurements on bratabase every so often. Bra calculators gave me a rough estimate, then it's more research (e.g. bratabase reviews) and trial & error (i.e. trying different sizes). I learnt a lot about chest shape (e.g. FOT, centre full, short roots) and bra styles (e.g. balcony) to find my best/ better fitting bras - bratabase has been super helpful :)

• Yes I see but I use boodyboo calculator in inc and lumilingerie in cm. they put me in 32HH I sent pictures to stores for helping but they confused me.I buying what they say I thought it was ok but after that something it’s not right if you see I had trying many sizes I believe that iam ok in this size I hope

• maraki I'm glad you've found your size! If a bra doesn't fit quite right and you're unsure what's wrong, you can upload photos here on bratabase and ask for fitting help from other users :) My favourite tip is to, 'scoop and swoop' to help the breasts settle into the bra properly.

  For this sports bra, my current best fit is probably 28FF/ 28G, but a few months ago (when I had a little more weight) a 30FF was perfect. My latest bratabase measurements are: Ribcage = 68.5/69.5/70.5 cm and Breast Perimeter 27.0 cm.

• It’s very strong i use your calculator and put me 30 HH and J .I feel 30 tight and 32 after use not feel good what I do I don’t know the sister size is not fit same

• maraki By 'not feel good', do you mean that the 32HH band feels too loose after wearing? If so, you could try the sister size 30J and use a bra extender until the band loosens up a bit. Black bras tend to run a little tighter/ smaller so might also be something to take into consideration.

  A good source of information for sister sizing: https://bustyresources.fandom.com/wiki/Sister_size

• I buy again 30 J to give a try I think you made wrong with your measurements 27 your bust ? I think 28 G you must try it

• maraki Good luck, hope it works out for you! I have one 28G Panache Sports bra which fits quite well, I think a 28FF could fit even better - will have to try :)
