Getting wildly different size suggestions, please help :(

ABTF and Bratabase calculators giving completely different sizes (34G/GG 32H/HH vs 32JJ/K 34JJ/K)

So my measurements are

Loose: 34

Snug: 32

Tight: 30in

Standing: 43in

Leaning: 47in

Lying: 45in

Breast Perim: 17in

Currently 32HH is ridiculously small in the cups but depending on which measurements I enter ABTF will either recommend going down a smaller size or staying the same size which currently doesn’t fit. Using Bratabase’s calculator recommends going up 2-4 sizes, queue body dysmorphia lol. If anyone has any suggestions I’d appreciate it.

  • Hi! 32HH in which brand and style is ridiculously small?
    I just ask b/c some brands are known for running loose in the band (e.g., Freya) and other brands are known for running tight in the band (some mainline European brands). Also, some brands are known for running smaller in the cups (esp. padded styles) than others.

    For example, you can look at this women's size list, Busts of Gotham, you can see her sizes vary for each brand.

    Bravissimo, 30GG/28H
    Claudette, 30G (likely a 30GG if they made it)
    Cleo by Panache, 30G/28GG/28H ("sister size" down 1-band) *when bands are stretchy!
    Fantasie pieced & molded cup, 30FF (sometimes 30G)
    Freya pieced cup, 30G
    Freya padded cup, if made: 30GG/32G with band altered smaller into a 30
    KEIA (aka, Rubypink), 30G
    Miss Mandalay pieced/padded cup, 30GG/30H
    Panache (including Masquerade/Harlequin), 30G/30GG
    Parfait by Affinitas, 30G (in soft cups, padded cups a little 'small'ish for me)
    Royce (a non-wired brand), 32F/32FF/30FF (32 bands are small-ish and have 4-sets of hooks)
    Shock Absorber, 30G

  • BraOdyssey CK Delightfull (at least I think it was Delightfull, it was the one that doesn’t have any lace) in 32HH, tried Elomi Charlie in 34GG, Panache Clara 32HH
