Bra recommendations?
None of my bras really fit anymore.
The bras I used to wear 2-3 months ago are now too big. All bands ride up and the cups are just too big. I have to tighten the straps excessively which makes the bands ride up.
Weirdly the bras I used to wear before I gained weight are still terrible. Some fit size-wise but are a torture to wear. (Ariza & Tango 30K) Also Panache Jasmine is a true disaster: http://www.bratabase.com/troubleshoot/dlbga/
I am looking for a bra that...
is comfortable
is supportive & stable
comes up to K cup (I get 32JJ in sizem )
allows top and bottom volume / center volume
has medium wide wires and tall cups and a narrow center gore
I tried about 100 bras already, so I fear there will not be much left for me. :/ But still, I am thankful for all recommendations ...

Can't believe I missed that jasmine fitrequest :(
Just a few notes on that one - the band is the right size. It's riding up because wires are too wide and the cup construction isn't strong enough for your boobs so they kind of outweigh the band. I do think a cup down would be better, but probably not great because the bra is too weak.
If your boobs shrank they might have changed shape so it's no surprise old bras fit different. To some extent bras form around our boobs so it *might* work if you got a new tango or ariza in your new size?
Tango accenti?
Maybe Dahlia and Envy would be worth a shot?
Or Fantasie Salsa or Jana?
Not much left you haven't tried -.-
As last resort I say just get freya swimwear in your size.
Vee I have some lost weight recently. I think my boobs got softer and that I need now narrower wires :O My Sculptesse Bellise and Willow are too big in both cups and band. Elomi Caitlyn 34J is wearable (since it's just super stable even if a bit too big) but the band rides up on tightest setting. I will have to alter that band down. I hope I can save some of my bras with some band tightening for now.
Ariza 34J fits cup volume -wise, so does Tango 30K. Ariza is just a torture to wear in any size and the Tango kills me with it's wires. I tried to wear it with extender to release some pressure but then it just looses all support and gives me a east-west downpointing shape :( Is the Envy more stable than the Jasmine? (it's supposed to be the same cut?) What about Jana and Salsa? (Are they more stable than usual Freya bras? - I just remember reading bad reviews about the Salsa. It apparently has super weak wires. Is Jana any better?)
