    Boobs are all different, is the issue. We may have the same bra size but if Im full on top and you’re full on bottom we’d need a completely different cup shape. And of course that’s just one variable. Maybe we also need a totally different length underwire, maybe I’m projected and you’re shallow, etc etc.

    The trick is to order a load of bras at once from various brands and in various styles, do a marathon try-on session recording each one against the various fit criteria, and take note of the exact measurements and features of the best fitting ones. Then if none of them were perfect, send them all back and repeat the process.

    Eventually you end up knowing which brand(s) and style(s) work for your very specific body shape as well as what measurements of everything you actually need. Which is a separate thing to your “bra size” although even then it’s best to do regular re-measuring to make sure your basic size hasn’t changed.

    It’s a faff but it’s worth it. The perfect bra is out there!
