    I get what you mean about proportions, it can be so frustrating 😅 I’m pretty tall (about 6’1”), and when I checked my measurements on A Bra That Fits it suggested around a 40D. The 40 band bummed me out a bit lol. I did gain some weight after starting HRT and I’m working on losing some now, so maybe it’ll go down a little… though I doubt by a ton, I’d love to get to a 36 someday 😭

    I haven’t really gotten into bras yet either, I mostly wear sports bras occasionally and haven’t had too many issues. Although I did have something similar happen, I bought the same sports bra in two colors and one fits tighter than the other 🙃

    Bodies (and sizing) are so weird, I hope you find something that fits you comfortably soon 🫶

      Yeah I didn’t gain weight, but maybe that would hell with breast growth, lol. Mine is all bone so probably only will get bigger bands unfortunately. I did bralettes and sports bras for a while, but I really like dresses and low cut and keyhole styles, and many require at least some amount of bulge to fit right. Bras with pads at the outside help push mine together a bit to make them look less flat and reduce the bulge in the armpit area since I’m getting a little older and skin isn’t as tight as it used to be 😁, but just hard to avoid the gapping since the cups are almost always too big and the straps are attached to the cups too far to the outside since the designs don’t compensate for the smaller cups.

      Anyway, still a work in progress so hopefully it will fix itself or more bands will decide to cater to smaller breasts on wider chests, or I’ll find a style that works. Just happy yo have them at all. LOL
