Have found that 34DD bras are always a little bit off, and I'm closer to 32DDD, which most physical stores don't carry. I found a brand that fits me well (maidenform) but I needed it in 32DDD/E so the store told me to look online, but they didn't have it :(. Their site doesn't even go up to DDD.

I tried amazon prime wardrobe and just got 3 32DDD bras and all of them feel too tight around the band. What gives? Neither feels right. i know Amazon has problems with selling knockoffs as the actual thing, so maybe that could be part of the problem.

The bra I've found that fits the best was one 34E off Amazon but it wasn't a style I liked and was completely unlined.

  • Could be a tight band, but also sometimes a bra will feel too tight in the band because the cups are too small. Could also be the shape of the cups/wires that aren't ideal. Have you measured recently to try and nail down your size?

    If you can post a fit check, there are many knowledgeable users here that can try to help you! 🙂

  • Agree with @braluv.
    I have compared the 4 bras on your profile. According to my experience, the Freya Daisy Bra is almost true to size in band (maybe a little bit loose). The VS bra's band is also true to size. The Wacoal one runs definitely small in band and the Maidenform's band runs too big.

    If the Freya's or Wacoal's shape suits you, I will recommend Fantasie bras in 32E (32:6). They usually have loose/stretchy bands and their shapes are also similar to Freya and Wacoal (because these 3 brands share the same company), or just take the sister size of the same Wacoal bra you have. If you have shape problems with these brands, maybe you can try some polish brands like Ewa Michalak 75DD (34:5) or Comexim in 75G (34:7), they have very tight bands.

    Anyway, I also suggest you to post a fit check, it can help you to solve the problem accurately and quickly.
