It's been a while since I was last able to buy new bras, so just about half my wardrobe is nearing the end of the line ): But, since such a long time has passed, I've started to wonder if I had been indeed measuring properly. I had a bunch of 55 bands from Ewa Michalak, and it appears they ... no longer make anything with that band size due to that whole Facebook debacle. I'm not trying to bring that up again, because ugh. But it did make me think - they said their band sizes run according to actual underbust measurement, rather than converting from US/UK sizing. My underbust measures around 63cm (24.5 inches), and I had found most of their bands to be comfortable enough, but maybe that might just be due to how stretchy the bands were, and that they were in reality too short for me. I'm learning now that my breasts are shallow and wide-rooted, so EM wasn't actually a good fit for me anyway, but maybe I had prematurely written off other brands just because they didn't offer 26 bands. Would sizing down for a band that's very stretchy affect the fit? I was thinking of it like rubber bands - just because a small rubber band *can* stretch around something doesn't mean a bigger one won't be just as effective, if not more so. And maybe that's why I have a problem with just about every bra I've tried.
sorry I ramble >:

You could always just try to go up in the back or cup size depending on how you gained.
