Like most women I am wearing the wrong bra size right now.
I thought I was wearing the right one, finally, after getting fitted in an independent bra shop in Columbus, OH. See, I *knew* the 38B bras weren't doing anything for me for support, I *knew* there had to be a better fit. I thought 32DD/34D was it. Apparently I was wrong.
I tried Swooping this morning, wearing the only bra I own that is close to what the Bratabase suggested for me, and I see a difference already. There was no back/underarm roll. I was spilling out of a bra that I thought was too big in the cup. Oh dear god, I really do need bigger than a DD.
The bra I am wearing isn't a good fit because moving my arms up allowed tissue to escape and go back to the back, and I can fit my entire hand under the band, but it is a start. I think I see the light. Now to figure out who fits a 33" ribcage best...

Oh, I'd love to know where you were fitted. I'm not having luck at the shops here in Columbus, @Boobicca, and Nordstrom is back to adding +4. Nor do they have much in the 28/30 -- DD+ selection!
Good luck finding well-fitting bras. It's a lot of trial and error (as I'm sure you know). Also, what is perfect in one brand or even style will be too tight or too loose in another!
The shop I went to was in the Short North, and is now closed. :( I was re-fitted at Mattie's Bra Shop in Ellicott City, MD and had the 32dd result, but that was over two years ago.
I am really excited to see how the bra size suggested here fit and feel.
