I learned that recently from the gal in Nordstrom's lingerie department. If you go down a band size you generally increase the cup size?!

Who knew?! I certainly didn't!

@suzyQ3

What are these round full breasts you speak of?

When I lost weight, I lost it from my cup size, also from my back fat and sides right below my arm pits. So I had to go down in band size, too.

Weight lost from areas on the body varies from person to person. So it's best to get measured. Stores that give bra fittings can be different from store to store. Not all will be the same.

Great going on the weight loss.  If your best department store has a certified bra specialist, take the opportunity to be measured as it will save time and a lot of frustration with hit or miss styles.

If you are solo, do what I did one rainy afternoon:  go through every name brand bra display and get the 42 B but also take into the dressing room a size and cup up and down.  

All sizes are not equal !  Be very picky: put aside only the ones you could live with regardless of size.  

Once you have narrowed it down, write down the brands, the style number, size, and price. Maybe even take a photo with your cellphone so you can remember.  

Then, check on line for deals: I found great savings online from SteinMart, Amazon, and Boscov all with free delivery.

I recently lost weight as well and found that the bra fitness guide on QVC's website helped me quite a bit.  I wrote down notes from it and took them with me to the dept. store.  I spent a couple of hours trying on bras from various companies.  It was tiring and frustrating at times ~ but so worth it.  Good luck!

Don't look at me, @Andreatoo. :-)

@I am still oxox  I would say the cup size could be a little big; however, each manufacturer runs differently.  You need to try on different bras to see which one suits you best.  Kohl's actually has a large selection of different bras.  Congratulations on your weight loss.  What is a bra extender???

Go to Nordstroms for a fitting-----you don't have to buy anything just try on different styles and then you will know--I go there for my prosthetics and bras and those girls know their stuff.

This is all well and good.  But, if you find one you like, you should at least buy one from this store.  If not, you are using the store's dressing room, personnel, cleaning crew, electricity, etc. all for free, just so you can go spend your money elsewhere.  I am particularly sensitive on this issue, that of using everything a store has to offer to find what you want, and then spending your money elsewhere.  That is just not right in my opinion.
