Recommendations needed/complaint about bra inconsistency

A while ago I asked for some bra recommendations (http://bustingout.livejournal.com/311224.html). The Elomi Cleo and Jasmine were spot-on for my breast shape ( Read more... )

I have a few websites to check out if you are interested. I have yet to test their accuracy myself *I dont have access to the sizes they suggest I try, however I know for a fact most of them, if I went up a band and down a cup would equal what I was suggested when I got properly fit*. I wish you luck, I have been having bra nightmares lately myself ( ... )

Thank you for your suggestions and offer, but I'm fairly sure of my size--I just lost a bit of weight around the ribs but not the breast, and my 80Gs fit great on the tightest hook.

The problem is finding a bra which is suited to my breast shape. It's such a key factor in getting a bra to fit right; I really wish there was more information about it available. Yet its rare for bra manufacturers to even let you know "we have changed the color and decoration of the discontinued Felice model to create the Angelique bra, which otherwise is exactly the same."

I did manage to find one Elomi Jasmine in 75GG which fits just fine, but it's a discontinued model so I appear to have purchased the entire remaining European stock.

The Elomi Cleo Side Support and the Elomi Jasmine are my best-fitting bras too. Elomi discontinued both styles to my eternal sadness. However Elomi's sister company Goddess makes the Goddess Rose Banded Underwire bra (6080) which is similar enough to both bras to keep me happy for a while. Only downside: the band is a bit looser on the Goddess bra than on the Elomis. I fixed this by sewing some non-elastic fabric into the band.
