Sometimes I wonder what goes through bra salesladies' heads. Over here finding a 32 can be tricky, let alone a 30... and the most common lingerie shop is Hunkemoller. Or, at least, the one I've had the most mediocre success at. Recently I started ordering bras online.
I'm sure their intentions are good, but...
-I never want to hear 'I have no 32's anymore, why don't you try a 34 instead, there's not much difference'.... and see the surprised faces when I reply that I measure 69cms, which is why I was trying on the smallest 32s I could find...
- I get so frustrated when the only one that comes close to a fit would be the simple 'strapless' one, and the saleslady goes on about all the strap options: I know. I have been wearing nothing else for the past 3 years...
- Why is it so hard to make a bra for a small D cup? Why is there such a massive difference between C and D?
-Why do bra makers think I WANT a double push up? Hello, these beauties are ALL REAL and quire big enough...
- Why are there no un-padded bras? Sure, if you're a 38E there are unpadded ones...
So.. this used to be the process: Enter shop on a quiet weekday. Go through ALL the bras in store, simply to find sizes that MAY fit. Hope that some are pretty. Enter fitting room with anywhere between 1 and 12 bras. Start trying them on. Have saleslady shout if you're allright JUST as you're standing there with no bra on. Stick out head, say 'no'. They don't fit. What size? 32C/D. Saleslady goes off to repeat search you just did. She returns, just as you're about to smash something in frustration, to inform you that maybe you should try a 34, then look at the bra you're wearing 'oh, but the band sits well..' Leave empty handed, or with the same old best-I-could-get-but-not-quite-fitting strapless bra... or one that turns out to not fit after all during the first wear.

If you are buying at Hunkemöller, I think I know which strapless bra you have/wear in 70C.
I would strongly recommend the Cleo Juna and the Cleo Marcie as well as the Cleo Lucy to you.
And instead of going for a 30D/DD UK you might also want to try a 28DD/E. Just maybe not in the Cleo Marcie, this one runs tight in the band.
Just clicked on your profile and took a look at the bras you added. The Freya Ivy in 30D is way too small for you. I think you'd do a lot bettter in a 30DD or 30E Cleo Marcie.
