Shoekitty said, oh Katchina, I am going beg to differ on this. I usually wear Le Mystere,and I have tried Natori, wacol, elomi,vanity fair and warners. I had lost weight and needed new bras. It was the biggest disaster in shopping ever, everyone went back I ordered a 38 D,same size in each one. They went from cups being huge, to the underbust measurement being too tight or too loose. I couldn't believe it. Basically they were all the same style underwire. The on,y bra that came close to fitting was the Bali. But then when I ordered another style Bali...it was too big in cup. lol. I had to do all this online at the time. My husband was getting dizzy from running to FedEx or post office lol. I stick with my old Le Mystere and the one Bali years ago I tried Breezy bras on Q. They were HUGE on me, ordered reg size

@CalminHeart - I am full figured, not that well endowed but my breasts are spaced apart.
I wouldn't dream of wearing anything but an underwire contoured bra for years. And get them online? No way!
I've tried almost every brand out there. My favorites were Bali and Soma. Then Bali seemed to change.
Once when I was watching I decided to take a chance and try Breezies, underwire and contoured. I loved it! I got another, then went back for a third. Discontinued. What? Already?
So I went back to Soma.
Evelyn and Bobbie had the TSV I first saw about 2 years ago. No underwire, no real contour. But I decided to take a chance. I love them! They are comfortable and give me a good shape.
I did check out their website before I ordered, and that helped a lot. They wash well and don't stretch out.
You might want to check them out. Good luck! ![]()

Logic says they should be the same but they aren't. I'm in my 70s and have never found 2 brands of bras, tees, jeans, swimsuits, or panties that fit the same based on size.

I miss the lingerie store down the street, they were able to retrofit bras so the cups and bra size fit perfectly

@spumoni99 In my case they added extra hooks to the back, I needed a smaller cup and larger band

Before the epidemic, I used to try on bras in department stores.
Tried them on over a very thin, slinky camisole. I always wash new lingerie before wearing.
Now-a-days, because I don't want to be confined in a small dressing room, I bring my measuring tape to the store and measure the band.
I wear contour bras, and most of them fit very well.

Years ago, I had a tough time finding a bra that actually fit ... and was comfortable.
Finally, I went to Nordstroms, got measured and then she went on the sales floor and brought me back a few to try on.
The first one had a band so small I couldn't expand my chest taking a deep breath! I told her the bra was TOO TIGHT.
Get this .... she told me I WAS WRONG and that was the correct size for me.
I disagreed ... and then she told me that I "was one of those who can't be pleased" .... Seriously?
I left without buying anything, and to this day I'm sorry I didn't report her. This was not Nordstroms usual good customer service.

I stopped buying Bali and found a really great bra by Vanity Fair. A few weeks later I went back to buy more and they had none ... that style had been discontinued.
Well, I sprang into action (LOL) and started searching on Ebay. Over 6 months I managed to buy several New With Tags in that style. I had to buy them because they are the most comfortable underwire I've had in my entire life!
