My wife (34f, 59kg) has been happily wearing 36A bras for some time. She loves the cleavage they bring in low-cut things, they don't feel too tight around her, and the gore only gaps a little (a good compromise, she had felt, for the cleavage effect).

However, she has started to notice and dislike the flatter shape the bras produce, especially at the sides, and particularly visible in form fitting tops. She asked me to help her find a new size and order something online, as she isn't too keen on going in somewhere in person.

I've been reading this sub and studying the beginner guide, and we took some measurements this morning. The calculator recommended a 30G/GG UK, but I'm skeptical there's 6 cup sizes of difference with only 4 band sizes of difference (or maybe I don't understand well enough).

The main goals are to find a balance between good shape and projection without getting rid of cleavage entirely, and if possible to land on something that doesn't require spending an arm and a leg (even if it's not perfect), since we're not extremely well off right now.

Can anyone lend some human intuition? Thanks in advance!

Here's what we measured (cm):

Loose Underbust: 78

Snug Underbust: 76

Tight Underbust: 73.5

Standing Bust: 97

Leaning Bust: 101.5

Lying Bust: 95

Even 2/5 shape, even vertical fullness, center full horizontally

May be narrowish roots, although we're less sure about that

My wife and I used to listen to this song on Spotify, maybe around 2014. I've asked in obscure song id forums, and obviously googled the heck out of it, and can't remember the name of the song or the band. It was a male singer though, indie/folk (of that era), major key, mid-tempo (maybe 100bpm or so).

Our best guess is that it may have been a local band in Columbus, where we were living at the time. Hail Mary time - anyone recognize it?

I've been running round
You don't know cause you ain't here
I've been feeling down
You don't know at all

Seems like I'm alone
You don't know cause you ain't here
Times been ticking slow
You don't know at all

Oh what a shame to feel this way
Have I wasted my time waiting for you
Everything you'll ever be is everything I'll ever need
Take me to a place where we can stay
Even though we said goodbye
There's still a chance we might get by
Take me to a place where we can stay
