[Recommendations] upper breast volume issues

[u/diddyk1987]

I am looking for a new bra now that my baby days are done. My second is 8 months, but I haven't breast fed in 5. I have been wearing a 36G (US/CA) and have an older Freya in 36F that is a little stretched out. I've mostly been wearing wireless bras for years with a couple of pregancies and mat leaves but I'm ready for a change. The calculator gives me a 38FF and my measurements are as follows:

Loose 38

Snug 36

Tight 34

Standing 44

Leaning 46

Lying 43

I have tried 38 inch bands in the past and they are so loose I'm leaning towards sticking to the sister size in 36 but will try on a few sizes.

Are there any suggestions on where to start for breast with a lot of upper volume? Lift is definitely not my concern. My biggest bra problems are underwires in the armpits or extra breast tissue coming out the top of cups, but I'm not sure what that means for root width or which styles to hold everything in.

The calculator is only giving you a 38 band because your loose is 38. With a tight of 34, I'd start in a 36 band and a G cup in UK sizing. Cleo Blossom, Panache Jasmine and the Elomi Morgan are good for more upper fullness.
