thank you every who has contributed. (it's never too late for me to add data) (I feel like a scientist!) bwowhahahahahah
Tara, I have the largest measurements in the group--so don't feel like a woolly mamoth. Imagine how I feel being a size 6/8 on bottom and a 12 on top! UGH!!! But we all have to love the bodies we have.
Maya, Please don't take this the wrong way--but perhaps you see yourself larger than you really are. I think it's pretty normal to think you look larger than you really are. Because to me, you look very small framed and tiny--all over. You've been lamenting about your bum and your chest since I've known you, and I honestly don't see you as having a large bum or chest. Also, everyone's body changes as we age. I hope you are not holding onto some ideal body image that you had in your late teens or early 20's. It's not the choclate croissant...it's biology. I think you should accept the numbers as they present themselves. Your over bust measurement is the same or within one inch of the following people: Marianne, San, Nav, Tanya, Shiny and Mequita. Your under bust measurement is the same or w/in one inch of the following people: San, Nav, Tanya, Mequita and Eva. You may have more breast tissue than these women, but your frame size is similar.
Shana, the Fantasie 4500 bra has a small center gore.
Laura, Your both methods of measurement suggest you are a size 34. Have you tried going up to a 34 and down a cup size? Just curious.
Mequita, your band size seems accurate on both methods. Since your over bust measurement was odd, you'd have to either add or subtract an inch to your band measurement.
Eva, You're right on target on both methods as well.
Anne, could you repost all your numbers.....I don't have all the numbers in one post.
