How to get better recommendations
I've only got about three bras that actually really fit me properly.
I've got another four or five that fit well enough, but with one or two niggles (e.g. slight gaping or quad boob, band a bit too tight).
I can't get Bratabase to recommend anything with better than 20% confidence, and a lot of those look wrong to me. For example, it recommends Mimi Holliday Bisou Bisou Pearl Fully Padded Super Plunge Bra (SS13-160) in 28D, whereas I've added this exact model in a 28B, and marked it as being too big in the cups. I've also marked three other Mimi 28B's as a good fit, so I know that the 28Ds will all be too big. I'm confused!
For those bras I own that are "good enough", should I ignore the small niggles and mark every fit indicator as good? Or is it better to be honest with the Bratabase recommendations engine, and mark the cup wrinkles, quad boobs and tight bands as they really are (therefore vastly reducing my number of bras that "fit")?
Also, if I measure & set the fit on a bra, then mark it as "not owned", is it still included in my recommendations calcs?
One more question - under "channels" in my recommendations, nothing is clickable, so I can't actually see which bras have been recommended based on my measurements, which on similar-sized bras to my ones that fit, etc. Is that right? Is there no way of telling WHY each bra has been recommended?

I would check the measurements of recommended bras and see how they compare with bras that fit. If the band feels alright with an extender eventually it's going to stretch out. I judge bras if they fit I can usually wear them all day and/or night and be very supported while walking and running and I'm not bouncing all over like I used to with my sucky sportsbras. lol. Also comfort is next because I am very skinny and boney so my bras have to be comfortable and not painful. Next is how the bra looks. Usually at least for me, my bras look like they fit really good. I'm not as picky about certain stuff as other women are. In order for me to completely get rid of gaping and wrinkling, I would have to alter bands and straps. I am afraid of ruining anymore bras. lol. I never had any beautiful, good fitting bras before Feb. 2013. Everything I had before that was just too crappy. At least I don't have that problem anymore. :D I hope I helped. :D
Also Mimi Holliday changed their sizing. I read it somewhere recently. So you might need a C instead of a B. Good luck!
