You're welcome, JTX!
It's ok, now at least I have an idea of how much I will be needing to keep an eye out for spam messages
As for why I posted it, again I posted it because all the other methods use the over the bust measurements and around the bust, neither of which work for me. Obviously it works for many, since that is all I have seen on this site. I posted this for those who, like me, the around the bust and over the bust chest measurements just don't work since there is a lot of variables in placement (for above the bust I may place it too high or too low in either the front or the back, dramatically changing the results, and the over the bust measurement varies for me because the space between the breast is included and that varies depending on how secure the measurement tape is). It may even just have to do with experience (or, lack of experience in my case!), which is why the more precise measurement that I just found is all that has worked for me. I found it to be the easiest to use, and the most precise, and thought it would help those who were in my same situation.
That is really interesting AbiDrew that your under the bust measurement is the same as your band measurement!! I measure at 30" under my bust and I wear the 34" band. You are measuring UNDER your chest, where your bra band would be, right? Would you mind if I asked what is your above the bust measurement? Also, by chance, do you fasten your bra hooks on the inner-most eye of the strap? What method of measurement, if any, do you find to have worked the best for you?
Sorry that what I found does not help you!
And forgive me for the questions... I get a long way in my researching until someone shows me how much learning I still have yet to do! I know that bra measurements are a little complex, and that not every method works for everyone, but since band width is not affected by bust size, I thought it was pretty straight forward. I have never thought it was possible for someone to wear a band width that is the same measurement as their under bust measurement.
And of course, since your under the bust measurement and band measurement does not agree with this method, of course the chart will not work for you in determining cup size, since cup size is affected by the band measurement and under the bust measurement so that goes without saying!
Thanks for your input... hopefully you will find something that works for you soon!
