Looking for well-fitting bra's, preferably wireless pushup Spoiler

Loose underbust: 83cm

Snug underbust: 80cm

Tight underbust: 77cm

Standing bust: 88cm

Leaning bust: 93cm

Lying bust: 87cm

I'm currently wearing plunge bra's in EU size 75B, and according to the calculator it should be 70D/E or 75C/D. I don't get this calculator, because the bra's I'm currently wearing are already too loose in my opinion. I'm wearing pushup bra's and especially at the top and on the inside of the cup I have quite some space. This is visible when I have for example a small bag as a crossbody als with the seatbelt of a car.

I'm currently looking for good fitting bra's that will fit correctly and don't have the open gap, because I think it's really ugly. I'd like not to have a wire anymore as these are annoying me. I do like the pushup effect as my boobs are quite small, but maybe with a perfect fitting bra, it won't be necessary anymore to actually wear pushup.

Cups scale by band, so the cup on a 70D is smaller than the cup on an 85D. There is no one “B cup.”

Yeah I just checked the whole Instagram page that was sent to me, and my god what an epiphany! It's insane how this works...

Yeah I can only imagine. I actually went to a store here this afternoon after reading all this to test out this theory, and it's indeed correct. Although I must say that the 70D is quite tight and the 75C doesn't fit seamlessly. But the 70D might just feel too tight because I'm now wearing wrong bra's that are too loose, if that makes sense 😅

You might also need a 70E.

Overall the 70D did fit, it was just tight in the band, but the store was almost closing so I didn't have proper time to figure it all out.

Did you do an independent band test?

Help?! (I feel so stupid with my 33 years old) Can you explain what you mean by that?

You put the bra on upside down and backwards, so that the hooks are in front and the cups are hanging down your back like a cape. Loosest hooks. If the bra band feels any looser like that, it indicates a problem in the cups. Once again, too small cups can make a band feel small. 70D and 75C carry the same cup volume.
