tried to go through my bras today and figure out which fit/don't fit. tbh most of them don't really fit me perfectly. there's either space in front (in the gore area) or there's space in the cup. there is one bra that seems to fit very snugly. i'd consider that the only one that actually 'fits.'
i used the /r/abrathatfits calculator and it gave me some sizes. i don't have any bras that match that size. but i don't want to buy any new bras. i just want to get rid of what doesn't fit.
in general, i find too much space in the cup to be more uncomfortable than too much space in the gore area. so i guess i'd put those aside, except the bras that have space in the cup are quite nice and it'd be a pity :( it's just that they sort of fit and not completely which is mega annoying.
as for the bras that have space in the sternum, there are some that are passable. like they don't fit but like whatever i'll wear them. and the misfit is not super noticeable. they're softer bras with no hard underwire so maybe that's why they're not as uncomfortable. but there are a couple from when i was younger that are probably too small for me now. i think i'll just leave those for when i'm travelling or doing something strenuous.
i am low key done with bras that don't match my skin colour because they keep showing up under my shirts. granted, in the last few years i've started wearing more t-shirts from the men's section that don't have that cheap thin quality. but i do also wear a lot of dress shirts to work. or have some old t-shirts with that quality. and i don't want to risk accidentally wearing a patterned bra underneath a light shirt anymore. i have some old bras that have colours/patterns and they do fit but they are also a bit old. and also some that are white. so idk. maybe i'll keep them because they fit comfortably. just need to be very mindful of what shirt i'm wearing on that day ig.
also, i know around a month ago i was complaining about a bra that didn't fit. but as i wore it more...it seems like it fits now? maybe i just wasn't used to the size/shape. i mean it still doesn't perfectly fit me, but i'm not so bothered by it anymore.
one thing that really puzzles me is the band size though. i mostly wear 34-36 size but the bands themselves are nowhere near 34-36 inches? like you REALLY have to stretch them??? i must be misunderstanding something about the measurement system (us system).
