Hi everyone! I stumbled across this subreddit today after trying to find a bra for my GF. She's always hated her boobs and how big they were, and I suspected that this in part had to do with what bras she was wearing. She's been wearing a 34 c or d. (or frankly mostly size s or m sports bras)
Loose 30”
Snug 29”
Tight 28.5”
Around chest standing 34.5
Around chest bent over 36.75
Around chest laying down 33.75
Size 30dd/ddd us 30dd/e uk
Other info: relatively circular and forward pointing, not shallow or top heavy
Any time I've suggested a different bra with more lift might help with them feeling smaller, (and her feel skinnier, as it would give her a much longer waist) her response is that she doesn't want the push up effect, that she wants them strapped down.
I'm stuck! I just want her to feel beautiful, but I also know if I have her try on a million bras that don't fit, she'll just feel even more overwhelmed and defeated.
I also just discovered minimizer bras, but they aren't exactly sexy? Crud
I guess what I'm looking for is both advice on what brands might be a good place for her to look, as well as what styles might be best suited for her needs. Def need at least some of them to be sports bras, but some t shirt bras would be good as well. Thank you!
