36F - Lepel ยป Iris Full Cup Bra (128001)
I'm very excited because this is my first bra actually fits!
Many reviews say this runs small in the band, big in the cup so I bought 36f instead of 34g or 36ff (my measured size)
I absolutely agree with the reviews.
Especially you are fob type "size down one or two cup, up one in the band unless you prefer a extremly tight band.
I think someone who loves a tight band can go their true size as the band easily stretches out.
This bra gives enough projection with a narrow tall wire
and round shape as well.

Ok. Being short rooted: it is like wide and shallow of the vertical dimension. Some people have breat tissue way up by their collarbones that comes down. Like a "D". Others might have the same projection out but the tissue doesn't start until closer to armpit height. Like a "b". So my chest goes down straightish till armpits then basically just out from there, as opposed to a more gradual slope from higher up? Imagine the extreme imagined of short roots like a pancake- same circumference horizontally around the ribcage but less vertical circumference.
Your root is where your breast tissue is attached to your chest.
Your root goes from side to side as you're familiar with, but it also goes up and down as well.
If there is very little vertical distance from where your breast starts to where it ends, you have short roots. If there is a lot vertical distance from where your breast starts to where it ends, you have tall roots. In between would be an average height root.
