I don't have a recomendation, but I just want to say that I admire your willingness to "see" yourself.  You reacted in such a positive way when seeing that photo of yourself. 

I wish more women would do this.  For me it was a photo that made me determined to lose some weight.  I reminds me of MacDuff and how she says it helps her to have a photo taken of herself in each of her outfits.

hi! Thanks will look up and try that one!

here's my weird issue: large band size/smaller cup size.

I was actually grateful a few years ago when I increased in size up top! LOL finally there was SOMETHING TO PUSH UP 🤣

@smoochy @I don't know how things are since the pandemic but Nordstrom's  is known for its bra fittings.

Went to Dillard's. They have certified bra fitters who have been trained by Wacoal. This is not for easily embarrassed modest people. Of which I'm one. But I powered through, lol. First she assessed my current bra and how it fits me. Then I had to get topless. She educated me about how a bra should fit. She used a particular Wacoal as the tester. First one in the size I've been wearing. Band size ok. Cup size too small. Next bra, cups still too small. Turns out I'm a 40 DDD. What a difference in my appearance! I bought three underwire Wacoal bras. Most comfortable things I've put on my old body lately. Well worth the $$$$.  

Of course when I take off my perfectly fit, side-shaping, uplifting bra there's a jolt on the Richter scale when the girls drop. 😆😂

Glad you found some well fitting, comfortable bras. I am on the modest side like you and I have a large bosom. But I have had various medical issues the last two years which required various states of undress and I have become blasé about who sees my bosom. I mean at 65, gravity being what it is, they are what they are.

The only place I get bras any more is Kohl's -- and I wait for the sales and when I get the extra coupons that they send!

I really like Vanity Fair Beauty Back Bras. They do smooth those bulges from the top of the bra in the back. I buy the wire free version. Really like them.
