Very interesting mocha. Well. I can't say it makes any sense to me either way, but this guide seems to say I should be THREE sizes below mfg recommended sizing.
MFG recommended sizing would put me in a 36 band, and would previously have put me in a 38 before I lost more fat, and before THAT it would have put me in a 40 band!
All of these at their various times in my weight loss would have put me in a bra that would have simply fallen off without doing me any good at all.
As it is, I was still wearing incorrectly sized bras as indicated by the fact that I was constantly readjusting my bra during the day.
Right now my new bras fit, but they fit on the last eye, which leaves no room for the fabric to stretch out before I need a new bra... but I might be stuck like this though, because I think in a 30, the cups will be too close.
Anyways... I'm glad the MFG recommended sizes work for you, that must mean you have the currently considered "ideal" rib cage shape. Yay you!
For the rest of us... I think this guide at least gets some of us closer to reality... And some people might need to go somewhere between or outside of either...
For whatever reason, for MANY women (and men with boobs), bra fitting remains to be the absolute most confusing part about finding clothes that fit.
