you know? this feels like a fairly BASIC THING that bra measurement ought to account for! we need a BREAST DENSITY MEASUREMENT up ins, my pals. like, what is the squish to squush ratio of the chestal area in question? how much lower than the band do your boobs lie when At Ease?

THEN, the FIRST FUCKING TEST I TAKE has the absolute GALL, the SHEER UNMITIGATED CHEEK to tell me that my cup size is a G. which - and I cannot stress this enough - it emphatically ISN'T. even at my absolute heaviest and boob-biggest, which I'm not right now, I'm an E at *most*.

so I did the sensible thing and checked another test, this time on the lane bryant site. their methods - which of course different slightly to the first test - had me as an F. AND AGAIN, I SAY UNTO THEE: IT IS NOT SO.

Have you tried abrathatfits? There's a calculator, shape guide, and list of recommendations for bras to try (the sub also has discussions about adjusting size/fit/style for density, which was a total game changer for me). https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/wiki/beginners_guide …
