30D in ABTF, 30DD-E in bratabase? What size should i start with?

Hi! So i measured my size on ABTF calc for almost 4x (to make sure because i kinda have trust issue) and the result always the same: 30D. I just try measuring again in bratabase and the result is 30DD-E? I'm confused.

I'm F23 and i almost always wear bralette daily. If i happen to wear regular bra, i use 34A/34B from unknown brand but they never fit me.
I have short and narrow roots, wide set, even vertical fullness, center full horizontal, slightly/average projection.
My 6 sizes are:
- loose UB: 74cm
- snug UB: 72cm
- tight UB: 69cm
- standing: 82cm
- leaning: 85cm
- lying: 83cm

Can u guys help tell me what size should i start with, please? 30D or 30DD? And just in case i couldn't find those sizes will sister size 32C and 32D be okay? Thanks in advance!

  • If you have a store that keeps those sizes in stock, go try them on. All of them. Yes, it will take time, but do it. If you don't have a store near you that stocks those sizes, go to an online retailer that does. @HerRoom is an example, but there are others. Choose one with a good return policy and if you can afford it, choose a style and get multiple sizes. If you're struggling with underwires, consider a bralette. If the bralette sizing isn't working (S, M, L isn't for everyone, and that's fine) consider unwired bras. Finally, a number of online retailers showcase bras built for specific body and breast attributes as do the blogs available here. Reading up on different parts of a bra and different bra constructions can help you make a choice based on your body. Hope this helps, good luck!

  • This is the A Bra That fits Buying Guide https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/wiki/buying really not complete for all countries, but if you search your country on r/ABraThatFits or post a question, this is the the store that comes up for Indonesia https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/2p936b/store_review_pierre_cardin_for_small_shallow/ At size 30D, one could get some amazing prices on eBay, I'm not sure what shipping is like to your country though. https://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=30D+bra&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=2

    You would want to search, for example, "30D bra" and then check "ships worldwide" as well. I see some bras in that size, brand new, listed for less than $10 usd (I'm jealous!) Not sure how much the shipping is...a lot of these places accept returns within 30 days, too.

    If you sister-size up to 32C or 32D, you'll get even more bras to choose from! They might be too loose in the band though.
