(Part 2) Best products from r/ABraThatFits

Edit: Sorry, I totally missed the measurements! Darn phone screens.

The calculator gives a starting point of 38H/HH. Judging by the fact you're wearing and are comfortable in 34 bands, I'd say stick with them, which gives you a calculated size of 34J/JJ.

If projection is your main issue I'd start with the Panache Jasmine and Envy - mainstay recs for projected breasts. They're generally considered even shapes, but both have stretch lace tops which are pretty forgiving if you're FOT.

Wires are another matter. Out of the brands you've mentioned, Elomi is widest followed by Panache, then Curvy Kate and Cleo with Bravissimo as the narrowest. While the Envy and the Jasmine may offer you a better shape and projection, the wires may not be comfortable. You have some other options, though:

• Bravissimo has a number of other bra styles in 34J-K, including a sort of Jasmine clone, Nordic Rose.
  
• Fantasie and Charnos have wires a bit wider than Bravissimo, but both top out at J cup except for the Jana - still might be worth a look for sister sizing 36HH/J potential.
  
• Freya is also pretty narrow in the F+ spectrum, but has the FOT friendly Gem in 34J-K.
  
• IMO, Curvy Kate/Flirtelle is worth another look. They recently redesigned their 2015/2016 line, and early reviews are pretty positive. The Ellace especially looks fantastic.
  
  Curvy Wordy is in your size/shape range and has a great blog and very active Bratabase profile; in addition to the above, I'd take a look at her top picks and see if anything appeals.

I'm not going to be much help for most of your requests, but I have tried LOTS of sports bras over the years, and this one has been the best one ever. GREAT compression and I have wide roots and some (but not much) tissue migration as well and it fits nicely. Best of luck on finding what works for you! Hopefully others will have more ideas.

ETA - I should have mentioned I'm a 36GG so I have a LOT to compress and this bra does an amazing job of it. Wearing it under a button down took me down like a whole shirt size which never happened with my size in any other bra I've had.

It's a bit harder to get diagnose fit and for some people to get the best possible fit in a moulded bra, but if you're not at all open to wearing a non-moulded bra, that's totally your choice. Your measurements put you between band sizes as well as between cup sizes, so you're likely to wear a 32 band in some bras and a 34 in others (in addition to being between cup sizes).

I'm putting only amazon links in here for ease of shipping/returns. Everything I've linked is available on Prime, but it might default to another seller if the size you choose is out of stock or they have a lower price so just pay attention when you're adding stuff to your cart as other sellers will have their own return policies.

For absolute basic, 'everyday' bras, your best choice to start would probably be Freya Deco. This bra runs bigger in the band, so you'll probably do fine in a 32 band here.

Personally I prefer the fit of the Parfait Jeanie to the Deco, I find the cups/straps are a little closer together so it's much more comfortable for me. (Also it's $20 cheaper, though, I'd still pay the extra money for something that fit better).

Strapless bras are fairly difficult to come by in larger sizes, the Deco Strapless is what I would consider the most useful one, it also comes in a longline version which may be more supportive if you don't find this sufficient. It is tighter in the band than the regular Deco, so you may take a 34 in this.

Panache Sport is probably the most consistently recommended bra on this sub, it comes in underwired and non-wired versions. It's not moulded, the cups are seamed and made of flexible foam. The underwires in the wired version are padded, so it's pretty comfy. You'll probably take a larger band in this based on the fact that you're lifting and doing yoga, and not running.

However, since the Panache sport is an encapsulation bra, it's really not my first choice for yoga. I prefer this Shock Absorber which is a strong compression bra, to just flatten my boobs as much as possible to get them as much out of the way as they can get. This runs tight in the band, so I might suggest trying a 36 band. The sizing is kind of weird on this as well, the boob section never gets any wider, it just gets taller (I own this in a FF and H cup in the same band size), so if you try it and think it doesn't provide enough coverage and is showing too much very squished cleavage, just size up even if it's a cup size much larger than you would normally wear.

$250 is a bit of a tight budget for the number of bras you want, but really not impossible once you've narrowed down your size. Even based on Amazon-pricing, if you like the Parfait Jeanie, you can get 3 of those, the Deco Strapless, and a sports bra for $260.....but you can also get 3 Decos, the Deco Strapless, and a Panache Sport from here for £161 which converts to $213USD. You can also often find new with tags bras on ebay from UK sellers that are selling off previous seasons' printed or fashion colour bras.

I've been pretty happy with Glamorise wirefree bras from Amazon. Me and wires don't go well together, either. I have two of the Magic Lift band in 38DD and they are great and comfortable for every day and provide okay (not fabulous) shape for a wirefree bra. I honestly haven't found a wirefree bra that replicates a wire. But I can't wear a wire for more than an hour or so, so I usually end up trying one on for a big occasion, then giving up before I leave the house and putting on my Glamorise!

I also have one of their Sports bras and I will not buy another brand. Period. Fabulous for me.

I honestly cannot recall if they are UK or US sizing at this time. I have to dig out my numbers, which I've saved somewhere. But I can recommend them as great every day bras. One of my t-shirt bras (first link) is 3 years old and another is one year old and I basically alternate them every day.

It did take me a little bit to figure out sizing, as I look through my Amazon order history. Looks like I tried the 38F first and then went down to the 38DD. I think was a 38F by the calculator on here and may have confused UK/US sizing.

Hey there! Definitely not an expert here (I'm sure one of them will check in) but I used to have the same problems. Sports bras are the worst with a pendulous shape- I felt like I was always trying to escape out the bottom of a too-big band! I was jealous of my friends who could just buy a cheap one off the rack in some store labeled in "S, M, L" sizing and make it work. That was definitely not going to happen for me. Looking back, I think most of them had firmer tissue and were self-supporting, so they had a completely different shape than I did.

You'll definitely want to measure yourself according to the sidebar guidelines so that you have a better size to start with. Then, there are lots of sports bras that have adjustable bands and straps, and even different types of hold.

My favorite turned out to be the Panache Sports Bra (I like both the wired and non-wired for different activities). I get incredible lift and support, and absolutely no movement. It's on the expensive side, but I've never been more comfortable in a sports bra and I don't dread working out anymore. Plus, Amazon has lots of sales, so I've rarely paid full price. If it works with your measurements, I recommend trying it! If not, there's lots of other styles to try, and this sub was very helpful in making a few recommendations for me when I was looking. Hopefully you find something that works for you!

Seems like we are almost boob twins! Except my roots are pretty narrow rather than average, but also tall. My best unlined fit at the moment is Freya Ooh La La in 28D (cups run slightly big) and this Melissa Dessous 0037 in 60E (cups run slightly small) http://www.bratabase.com/browse/melissa-dessous/0037/ (the photos of 60E are not me, btw! But the bra in the photos is the one I own because I bought it off of this user haha. Just dont want to steal credit from her for adding the bra to bratabase which I am too lazy to do.) although I have to wear and extender with the Melissa Dessous because the band is freakishly small, it still fits like it was made for my tall roots and average projection and its so comfortable.

If you are looking for a foam lined bra at all, I recently purchased the Panache Cari spacer bra which has decent projection for a lined bra and is also great for accommodating my tall roots. The lined foam is a great alternative to a typical lined/moulded bra because its super smooth under tight clothes but still breathable, I can see through the foam if I hold i light behind it.

I wouldn't shy away from balconette/Demi bras because of your size, I hated Demi bras when I shopped at Victoria's Secret because I was always popping out of them - it wasn't the style, it was that the bra was 3-4 cup sizes too small. Also, when a certain style has scaling issues (ie: a bra in 30H that's based off of a design for 30F and just made bigger instead of scaling for more typical 30H proportions) they usually don't start to happen until past GG and you're not quite there yet.

this bra by Chantelle is a balconette bra and it's one of my "every day bras." unfortunately you're sized out of this particular style, but there are similar ones both in and outside of this particular brand.

I really like the Cleo Maddie. even though it's too shallow and wide for me, it's still comfortable and flattering. I would recommend going up one cup size for this bra.

Most ABTF users are hesitant to recommend moulded bras (bras with foam padding, not necessarily push-up but some are) because it's harder to diagnose fit issues in them. I personally like them because I don't mind the fit issues and I think they're a good way to transition from VS bras to wearing the right size. I think that not having back pain, falling straps, and a floating gore is the most important thing, so you may find that your new bras are such a big improvement over your old ones even if the wires are an inch too wide. I'm like you in that I don't want any chance of my nipples showing, but you can find full coverage without foam padding.

I really want to try the Cleo Lily but I'm waiting until the Spring colors come out because Aqua/Pink is ten times cuter/easier to find matching underwear with than the Navy parrot.

Again, you're most welcome! hopefully we can find something that works.

Panache Ardour is a molded foam bra that has more depth than most such styles, so it could be worth a try. Panache Cari is a spacer-foam molded bra. Spacer foam is more flexible than traditional foam type bras. Cleo Hettie and Curvy Kate Ellace are a couple of unlined styles you could try for starters.

I don't advise that you order all these bras at once unless you have Prime and can get them all with free shipping and returns. Even then, too many at once can be confusing. Try one or two styles to start with. It's a good idea to start with one bra in two sizes, so in this case I'd say try the recommended 32F and 32FF. I'd suggest one of the unlined to start even if it's not your favourite because if you want to do a fit check it's easier to see the fit issues (or you can do a fit check without photos and describe the fit really well). But of course the choice of what to start with is up to you. There are also lots of other online sellers you can purchase from if you prefer, sucxh as Bare Necessities, Figleaves US (or UK), Herroom, and Breakout Bras to name a few. Just make sure that you can do returns if it doesn't fit. Not all places do free returns.

If you have a Nordstrom near you, you can try there or order from them online, have things shipped to your home and return in store whatever you decide against.

Woohoo! Let's do this :)

+4 Sister Sizing Method

Base Band: 44" loose + 4 = 48
True Band: 42 or 40; 38 if a band runs particularly loose
Base Bust: 50/51/52 = 51 average
Base Size: 48 B/C/D
Sister Sizes: 48 B / C / D
46 C / D / DD
44 D / DD / E
42 DD / E / F
40 E / F / FF
38 F / FF / G

I think this method can underestimate for larger women with firmer breast tissue, which you appear to have based on your photos.

Relative Sizing

Underbust | Bust
T | S | L | St | Le | La
---------------------------------------------------
My Measurements: 34 | 36 | 40 | 50 | 51 | 52.5
Your Measurements: 39 | 42 | 44 | 51 | 50 | 52
----------------------------------------------------
Difference: 5" | 6" | 4" | 1" | -1"| -0.5"

I'd say we're around the same cup volume, maybe you're one cup smaller, but you're two to three band sizes larger. I wear a 34J/36HH, so that gives:

-1/+0 cup: 36H/HH
+1 band: 38GG/H
+2 band: 40G/GG
+3 band: 42FF/G

-----
Based on the above and on your photo I'd start with 40FF and 42F, but without being surprised if they're still a touch small ;)

If you're in the US (or nearby), Lane Bryant carries these sizes and labels them as 40G and 42F respectively. Cacique, the name of their lingerie brand, is not highly recommended for its quality and can be tricky to get a good fit in because all of their bras are molded cups, but if you have a store nearby that stocks these sizes then it can be nice for trying out the volume before you buy anything in your new size.

If you're fine with buying online, then I would recommend trying the Cleo Marcie from Amazon in 38G, which is on sale for $27 with free shipping and returns. The band stretches to about 41" in a size 38, so it shouldn't be horrible. You might order an extender just in case the band is too small, so that you can still reasonably try the cup volume.

I looked at your previous posts, and I really think 34 bands will in general work better for you. I would get a few extenders, they're super cheap, rather than buying 36's and having them be unsupportive. Bra bands do stretch out, and especially since you haven't washed any of these yet they will feel extra firm. If you can get a 32 to close around you, I really think a 36 will be too big. Although - going up to a 36 band will give you slightly narrower wires.

I have the Envy and I use extenders with it, I got these off Amazon and they work perfectly: http://www.amazon.com/Solutions-That-Stick-Brah-Extender/dp/B00519BD9C/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1395923573&sr=8-10&keywords=3+hook+bra+extender

The digging that the Envy is doing under you breasts is actually from the band, not the wires. If you look under the underwires, you'll see the bottom piece of elastic runs the whole length of the bra (that's why its so firm). Run your finger along the bottom edge of the elastic, feel how startchy and sharp it is right there? It will soften with regular washing and wearing. As far as the fit goes, I think the 34GG is a decent cup volume, but the cup is too wide for you. The wrinkling on the cup under your armpit means you don't have enough tissue to fill that area out. Do you feel like you're losing support as the day goes on? Like your breasts are pushing the cups down? Too wide wires aren't necessarily a problem themselves, but they can cause other problems to arise.

The Jasmine might be worth a shot in 34GG/H, I'm a little torn which one to recommend though. In the 32H you're getting some cutting into breast tissue, but you have a lot of center fullness, and the jasmine is very projected. Going up a cup size will result in even more projection, in my experience you will start to see the cup buckle and sag in the middle because your breasts are so center heavy. You can see the beginnings of it in the 32H, and definitely in the 32J.

I'm going to go on a limb and recommend the Panache Clara in a 34H. The cup has more depth than the Envy, and more support in the center than the Jasmine. It has a side sling that lifts the bust so much that a lot of women get wrinkling in the bottom of the cup and assume it doesn't fit them. I do not believe this to be the case, I think it is simply a fabric issue.

The Marcie is too big, by about 1 cup size. You might like Panache Floris and Colette. They are cut the same as Marcie, but have the wider band with 3 hooks, which I find is far more supportive and comfy than Cleo's 2 hook bands. I'd try a 34GG in either one of those.

Most of those bras are too big IMHO.
Hettie is the most projected and will be more fob friendly than say lily which is older style and i find a bit more projection friendly.
You might try a cleo lucy/kali in 28g and see how that fits you.

What is crazy is how your fob/fot type changes the fit on bras. Lucy/kali makes ME look "saggy" but makes fob ladies look very perky and cute, while lily/hettie/marcie make FOT/even ladies defy gravity but can make a fob gal look like the girls hang low iykwim.

Id stick with unlined until you nail a bra that fits awsome. Lined/foam are very hard to find in small sizes and with much projection. Ewa and comexim are pretty much your only bet (deco comes in our size range but is shallow as a mofo and if you are center heavy like we are boobs leak inwards) but are never gonna be PERFECT.
Once you nail a unlined bra it will be easier to find a polish bra that may work OK.

Marcie isnt perfect on me but works awesome for me since it hides slight assym and makes boobs defy gravity and often comes up cheap on amazon - so its my goto in a 28GG and you can see how differently im filling it. Yours are def too big but also you have less tissue ontop leaving lace gaping a bit which causes the pointy shape.

https://imgur.com/a/pFvir

Lucy/kali is a bit more your shape and id see if those dont work - go with a 28G in that.

For starters - stick to your UK size :-) That's how we refer to sizing around here as it's more standardized and the bras you'll find fit you will most likely be using UK sizing.

From the numbers and way you describe your shape, you are projected, narrow rooted, probably short rooted, and pendulous. This is a common shape among your size especially. You'll need to look for bras that allow for immediate projection - meaning there is a lot of space at the bottom of the cup for the underwires to properly sit in your IMF. It makes sense that a 40 band is riding up, as it's really too large for your ribcage, but I would hesitate to tell you to try 36 bands across the board. In brands that run stretchier, such as Freya, you'd probably be fine in a 36. Also as you get larger in bands, they often get stretchier so you may find 36's to be your best bet. For now I would start with both 36 and some 38s until you figure out what will work best for you.

Your 40DDD is roughly a UK 40E. The gap at the center likely comes from the cups being too small and also probably the wrong shape. Are you scooping and swooping all your tissue into the cups? How far away is the center gore and how much overspill are you getting? I suspect 38FF/G is probably an overestimation. From your numbers I'm getting 38E as likely the smallest possible and 36G as likely the largest possible size. I would start with 38F and 36FF. A good projected bra to start with available in that size is Panache Envy. Cleo Kali is good for fuller on bottom shapes but may or may not have enough room at the underwire for you and the wires are likely to be a little wide. Cleo Erin is a discontinued clone of Cleo Lily, also discontinued, which is like The Awesomest UK Bra for narrow roots and even fullness/short roots on the planet, but is difficult to find anywhere. There are a couple left in both 38F and 36FF on eBay though.

I suspect UK wires may run a bit on the wide side for you, but it's hard to tell without trying some on. Are you nursing? Cake Macaroon is a pretty nursing bra available in your size range but I don't know how it fits.

I'm not an expert on recommendations in your size range, so I hope someone else chimes in with more suggestions!

Sure!

Wacoal bras that come in 32H: https://wacoal-america.com/all-bras_wacoal-bras-catalog/ then filter by size. I would expect Amazon would have any of those bras, or you can order right from Wacoal's site

For anything on Amazon, different size and color combinations may have different prices, so if you're not picky about color you may be able to get a better deal. And anything that's Prime eligible (which again depends on size + color combination) should have free returns even if you don't have Prime

Congrats on finding a bra you love! The Panache Andorra and Envy fit very similar to the Jasmine, so check 'em out too. Fern and Clara are also good bets if you like Jasmine. I loved the black leopard Jasmine colorway for this season! http://dearscarlett.com/collections/full-cup-bra-panty-sets/products/jasmine-balconnet-bra-leopard

For sports bras, Panache is good, but Anita has this extreme control bra that's my go-to. The white is less stretchy/works better than the colored ones, although it gets dingy fast. Also, the sizing is weird or maybe I prefer being totally mashed...? Haha! Anyway, I'm a UK 32FF in practically everything, but wear a European 34E in this bra. http://www.amazon.com/Anita-Womens-Extreme-Control-Sport/dp/B001VH7UO0

Hi! I know you've gotten a lot of great replies but I figured one more couldn't hurt.

I soak my things (undies and bras) in a plastic tub I got at Bed, Bath, & Beyond with cool water and a little laundry detergent. If I'm in a hurry, I throw my bras in a bra bag similar to this and toss it in the laundry. I think I got mine at The Container Store. I always clip/hook my bras when I wash them because I found otherwise, the hooks can get caught on lace. I have also washed delicates in pillow cases before (throw lacey dress, bras, undies, whatever in pillow case, knot it shut, and toss in wash), but I prefer the bra bag because it's more structured.

I don't think (I hope!) your roommates will mind you washing your bras, especially since you're not taking up a sink. Some dorm laundry rooms also have sinks, so you could potentially wash them down there (maybe soak in your room and bring them downstairs to wash).

Here is a helpful article about bra washing and some specific lingerie washes.

I have used a salad spinner to help dry my bras. I'd recommend, if possible, laying them out to dry on your desk or dresser, just so that they're flat. Or if you have a drying rack--but I'd avoid hanging them.

I'm getting somewhere in the 38C/D range, but it does sound like you have a shallow shape, which is why you're finding that smaller cups appear to fit.

There should be plenty of bras available in your size on Amazon, which is pretty neutral/non-obvious packaging. I'd say it's worth trying Freya Marvel or Deco, which comes in soft cup and wired versions.

I have this bra that I got when I was pregnant and I am still wearing it now that I am nursing. It is my absolute favorite bra in terms of comfort and support. I am currently wearing a 36k, so if any of you ladies with large breasts are reading this, I want to let you know that this bra, and others of this brand, are pretty great pregnancy/nursing bras.

Hey there,

Just wanted to say that I used to wash my bras by hand but lately have been using another method since it saves me time and also maintains the integrity of my bras. What I do is buy a bra bag. The important thing is not to buy a "garment" bag but rather this. It helps a lot with keeping the shape of the bras. I wash my bras in my washing machine in the "Gentle" cycle and make sure they're only being washed with other delicate clothing. I don't overwhelm the machine with any other heavier pieces of clothes. I'll use whichever detergent I have on hand. Once the bras are finished washing, I take them out from the bag and let them air dry. This method lets me get the agitation that I need to remove the deodorant build up and makes the bras feel a hell of a lot cleaner. Air drying allows them to keep their good shape!

Let me know if you try this and how it works out for you.

You could use a paperclip, it would likely work better than a safety pin and safer since it's not likely to stab you in the back. Also something like Panache's cari moulded bra has a racer back clip so you can convert it to a racerback. I just got one in 28G and I really like it. It is a bit minimizing and kind of shallow though so I am not sure how well it would work for you.

I like this, which unfortunately is one cup size too small for me. Still works pretty well. There are discounts for old colors on Amazon, but Maidenform definitely sells it in your size.

Don't know if the longline style works for your breastbone, but I find the longline plus the wireless channels gives it more support and shaping.

https://www.amazon.com/Maidenform-Womens-Comfort-Convertible-Bralette/dp/B077Y554HQ/ref=pd_sbs_193_2/140-0656762-2114441?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B077Y5C59Y&pd_rd_r=ca5be4e0-117f-4fe9-a110-1dfd068daebf&pd_rd_w=RqtsL&pd_rd_wg=feeep&pf_rd_p=588939de-d3f8-42f1-a3d8-d556eae5797d&pf_rd_r=90QC95YTVAMQ5N2CT0TN&refRID=90QC95YTVAMQ5N2CT0TN&th=1&psc=1

Have you seen this Kindred Bravely? It's S/M/L sizing, but each has a "regular" and "busty" cup size available, which is awesome. I really wish more brands would get on board with that!

Agree with Amazon - for example this bra and these panties have prime shipping available AND free returns if they don't fit her well or she doesn't like them.

Also agree that if you can find the matching panties for her current bras, you'd still be doing very well by her. :)

Royce has a nursing bra that is designed to sleep in.

US 28 L/M would be UK 28 HH/J, sistersize of that would be 32 GG/H.

32GG/H is the largest cup / smallest bandsize combo on the black-and-white Royce Blossom.

https://www.royce-lingerie.co.uk/maternity/blossom-blk-white

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C8BZ4PU/

I agree though that you will most likely be happier in one of the Bravissimo sleep bras since they actually come in UK 28J.

EDIT: Look for "Royce Sadie 28J" and "Royce Sadie 28HH"on eBay.co.uk - you won't regret it. The Sadie in your size (28J would be best, Sadie runs a bit small) including shipping from the UK to the USA sells for less than 15 USD.

Every two weeks (same as my regular laundry) but I have six bras that I cycle through, not counting sports bras which I wash after every wear. However, now that I know my "true" size, I'll be slowly phasing out the poorly fitted ones for better ones, so who knows how much longer I'll have six bras to cycle through.

I machine wash mine on the delicate cycle in one of those special bra bags and hang-dry from a Japanese laundry clip thingy. Yeah, I know, I'm good with names.

It sounds like you might want to invest in some bra extenders, which basically just increase the band size. It might be that you only need a little bit more length in the band, but not a full band size. Bras also do stretch, so an extender can help until the 40 band stretches to a comfortable length.

Busty, nursing mom chiming in. You actually would have more versatility than I do(smaller cup than me: but these two are my favorite:

Soft French Terry Nursing Sleep Bra for Maternity / Breastfeeding (Medium-Busty, Grey) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J27DGMU/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apap_dsQGQXjRbQucz

I'm not sure you can get them on amazon.ca but that Royce bra especially is so awesome for changing bust size. If you love it and can't get it I'd be willing to order it on my prime account and ship it to you at cost.

Online 28DDD's are not too hard to find (I would know im a 28LL..Lol) Alot of people on here can't find a specific size that would normally be easy to find, because they are looking more in regular stores than online.

Curvy kate also carries 28 band up to a K i believe, i think also some of the trouble you are running into is there has been a unusual amount of sales lately and everything is going out of stock(cause im seeing more results for 28FF' and bigger cups in 28 bands than 28DDD's and less), plus the expensiveness of bra's, and the type you're looking for. Freya also carries 28 bands regularly.

These cost abit more, but not 70$

Also don't be afraid to look for bra's in Eu Sizes, that also really broadens your choices. I've been doing bra searching for like 5+ years now so i kinda know where to look. Some recommendations i didn't bother giving because , well they aren't popular..lol. But don't be afraid of Amazon, you'll get a decent amount of results.

An extender will extend your bra band a couple inches to give you some room to breathe. Amazon has them http://www.amazon.com/Solutions-That-Stick-Brah-Extender/dp/B00519BD9C/ref=sr_1_1/182-3853592-2328820?ie=UTF8&qid=1374703848&sr=8-1&keywords=bra+extender

I hope that helps!

28C is sadly one of those very elusive sizes that is hard to find. Cleo will be bringing out a 28C later this year and there are a few options if you really need a 28C, but until then it might be easier to just try a 28D and work from there.

Cleo Juna is a good beginner bra that comes in 28D and beige. Alternatives would be the Freya Deco Halfcup and the Freya Patsy Padded Halfcups or the Freya Deco Softcup. The latter comes in 28C.

Also check out this thread:

http://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/1ub9fp/psa_for_those_of_you_with_small_shallow_breasts/

I would recommend that you try the specific cut/bra that I recommended above.

The Freya Longlines are also bras that are definitely on the shallow side i.e. not what you need.

Also if, in the future, you find a bra that fits perfectly but is stabby in the gore, you can use pliers to bend the underwires outwards, away from your sternum at the gore. But don't do this with this bra, return it and try one of the bras/cuts I recommended.

Edit:

This is Panache Envy: https://www.amazon.com/Panache-Womens-Envy-Balconnet-Ivory/dp/B00OZK81XE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495315137&sr=8-1&keywords=Panache+envy

(Links are just to give you examples, you can buy them elsewhere if you prefer but make sure the name of the items match.)

Edit: Forgot that Fantasie doesn't go down to 28 in this cut. In that case get Freya Side-Support cuts instead.

Freya makes a soft cup Deco that is wireless, not a bralette, but it is padded. I've never tried it, but I remember looking at it at some point in time. Here's the Amazon link, although you might be able to find a better price somewhere else.

Hey, we've got almost the exact same measurements! All the same except for lying down, mine is 33.5". Balconette bras work well, particularly this one! The wires are definitely wide enough for me, although ymmv. I hope this helps! This is an older style so it seems to be cheaper, a bit less risky to try out.

Definitely try a 30 band, I'd say. But if you're worried that it would be too tight, you can get a bra extender to give you a little bit of wiggle room as the band stretches out or your tissue settles back into place. (They're available online and in fabric stores like Joann's, if you have one near you. Just be careful and order the right hook spacing.) If you buy a bra with a borderline-too-big band to begin with, the bra will wear out much faster and you'll have to spend money buying bras sooner. Also you should read this guide to see if you might have shallow breasts, and if so take the bra advice accordingly.

I'm kind of in love with this bra.

Both of those are on Amazon. Cleo Lucy and Panache Andorra.

I second reusable nipple covers. For bras, the Cleo Maddie is the one bra I have that doesn't have any nipple show through. Most people find that it runs a cup size small.
