I’m going to preface this by saying that there will be a lot of rambling about the big boob problems currently plaguing my existence lol.

• From my highest weight, down to the lowest I’ve been in three years I’ve struggled with actually finding a bra that fits. Or I’ll find one that magically fits, go through an unexpected body recomp, and ope! It no longer fits. This happened about two weeks ago when I put on my Elomi bra in 34K. Made the comment to my partner that the cups felt…too small. I knew I for sure wasn’t pregnant so I gaslit myself that I was just imagining it lol. Put on my Elomi 36K and that was most definitely too small…insert well shit moment. Remeasured myself, band size went down but the cup size however went up. Insert crashout.

• in the process of transitioning into my actual career (Yay!) realize NONE of my bras fit correctly, realize oh shit if I were to get an in person or video interview this week my options would be either A) go braless or B) wear a bra that clearly doesn’t fit. Expressed this conundrum to my partner and how it would be perceived as unprofessional, despite it literally being something I have no control over. He did offer to buy more bras in my size (luckily).

• Then I realize…okay the bra situation is figured out, but now I don’t have any professional clothes to wear. The jobs I’ve worked previously have all been remote CSR jobs, the volunteer work has also pretty much only consisted of me gathering statements from people I’d literally never hear or see from again, and then reporting back, so it’s literally never been a concern. I pretty much can’t wear anything without looking like I’m intentionally dressing to look provocative, so I don’t know what to wear because I like to go out looking GOOD or at least semi put together, but I don’t want to risk not getting a job over it? I affectionately refer to myself as built like an ant lol. Please help 😭 also ETA it’s really upsetting that the automatic assumption is smaller chested = professional apparently?

Just measured myself and I have apparently once again completely outsized most UK bra manufacturers. If anyone has any bras in these sizes (or similar if the bands run small/cups run large, please let me know! Require lots of room at the bottom of the cups, narrow wires, and a firm upper section. Thanks in advance for looking

FOB shape, semi firm tissue, narrow roots, short torso

Basically they did confirm that a batch went out on August 3rd. Apparently that was specifically for people who got their requests in during the month June. For people who got their requests in July but before the 21st cutoff there will be a second batch. After that it’s a monthly basis. I’m *assuming* it should go out by the end of August at the latest 🙃

Submitted photos of how the freya fancies fit 32K UK, Elomi lucie 34K , and elomi namrah 36K. To me, the one that looked closest to fitting was the namrah, maybe some very minor overspill. Based off the fit of that bravissimo recommended 32L - this was prior to me realizing I had apparently gone up a cup size again…or maybe I measured myself wrong the first time. BoB when examining the same photos said that 32K was probably the correct size, despite upside down 7 shape, gore twisting/complaints that I found the underwires stabby etc. both did agree the first fitting I got where I was measured at 34G UK was wildly inaccurate lol.

In the process of altering my old Elomi Kendra in 38K. Will update how it fits afterwards

ETA: after aggressively swooping/scooping and gripping the wires they are visibly folding in half in the namrah, on top of quadding. Kept noticing I kept getting this really annoying pinching feeling right behind the wires so I gripped them firmly while trying to pull as much tissue as possible into the cups.

I retook my measurements and got

Loose: 34in

Snug: 32in

Tight: 30in

Standing: 47in

Leaning: 50in

Lying: 47in

Size calculator also recommended 32K.

Specifically looking for a large specimen. I did find one potential seller but the photos vs reviews weren’t very clear on what size would actually be getting sent out. I dm’ed the seller asking what size to anticipate for a XL plant, got left on read. Didn’t feel comfortable dropping over $400 on a plant when it seems the size that could get sent out varied widely from 1ft to almost 5ft lol. Thanks in advance

So I saw I got an email saying I was receiving a check from cashapp, ignored it for a week because I thought it’d only be $10, then I was like whelp…$10 is $10 let me change the address lol. The address was updated got told Monday the check would be reissued asap in the first batch or whatever. Asked if they could check the amount it was for and it was almost 5k 😭
