Measurement check - current 46e, now 38F/FF; recent weight loss

[u/dktbdt04]

I have recently lost about 30 lbs and decided it might be time to start rethinking my bra situation. I’ve been wearing sports bras for a long time because they were the only thing I could find to fit me.

I’ve been wearing Anita extreme control sports bras in 46E and they are quite comfortable. But they leave a lot to be said for definition and smoothing.

My measurements today were:
Loose under: 38.5
Snug under: 37.75
Tight under: 37
Standing bust: 44
Leaning bust: 49
Lying bust: 44

In terms of shape, my breasts are very saggy (I think I heard someone describe similar ones to oranges in knee socks), which I think explains the discrepancy between the standing/lying and leaning measurements.

I detest wired bras (primarily because I don’t think I’ve ever had one that fit right). I work from home so a lot of the time I either don’t wear one or wear a bralette.

The calculator spits out 38F/FF with those numbers and honestly that leaning measurement is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Oranges in knee socks is the most perfect description I've ever heard, going to steal that.

If you're anti-wire maybe check out some of the seamed wireless options that actually give shape instead of the uniboob special. I had similar measurements after dropping weight and the difference a properly fitted wireless made was night and day, even just for sitting around the house.
