I normally love Lunaire bras. They offer great lift and support for a reasonable price. This bra, however, is a total fail. Upon trying it on, it seemed to fit properly. The band was nice and snug and the cups were a correct fit. But all went downhill, literally, throughout the day! In my attempt to get some lift, I ducked into the ladies room and tightened up the band by fastening it to the second column of clasps. That worked for about fifteen minutes. The fabric that makes up the band for this bra is not sturdy enough to support large busts and just continues to stretch out over time. By the time I got home and removed my bra, the band showed stress from being pulled tight to obtain some support. The elastic dug into my sides and my back. This was not a flattering look for me. It's already in my trash.

Well that sounds terrible! Hope you find a better fitting bra.
Welcome to bratabase! Check out the measuring guide we have here and acquaint yourself with it. The more you know the better you understand how a bra should fit you. And the more comfortable you will become with measuring your own bras for the amazing database we have here.
Make sure you double check your bra size, 85% of women are wearing an ill fitting size.
Generally speaking your underbust/rib measurement is equal to your band size (so if you measure 36 inches you wear a 36 band), then you measure around the fullest part of the bust and subtract the rib measurement. This gets your cup size. There are cups larger than DDD and bands smaller than 32 and a DDD is not neccessarily a huge cup size. I wear a 28DD and am close to flat chested!
