Dress me!

You were all so helpful last year that I'm asking again, as the bras I bought are no longer comfortable; as far as I can tell the elastic has gone brittle and they've shrunk. It occasionally happens that the temperature and spin speed dials on our washing machine are adjusted mid-cycle, so that's quite plausible.

My current measurements are:

under bust 72cm (28.5")
fullest part of bust 89cm (35")
waist 64cm (25")
fullest part of hips 94cm (37")

My old 30G bras don't fit. You'd think they should be too loose, since they are old and I am smaller, but they are too tight in the band and too loose in the cup. However, I am back in my favourite skirts again, so that's some consolation.

I think I'm going to order exactly the same bras, one cup size down, and just resign myself to their not lasting more than a year. They're nursing bras, you see. That's very limiting, though not as much as if I was looking for a 28 band. Perhaps I should experiment with those low-cut cups in a non-drop-cup bra, instead, since engorgement isn't as much of a problem any more. Bras that don't fit are a horrible pain though.

Certainly mine would allow that easily, however I now can't find them online (which is a shame as they're lovely bras, so I'm glad I got 6 all in one go).
