Same person.

Oh, yeah, I know they come bigger, I have no problem finding the right cup or the right band, but those things are never on the same bra for me. Even when the cups are perfect, there are just never enough hooks to get it tight enough for my torso, and getting the band even one size smaller is too tight, like too tight to even hook up at all. I can't tell you how many times I found a bra that would be flawless if only the band would stop doing witchcraft on me. The odd-number sizes that a few brands have might help, so that's my next attempt, and thanks a lot for the suggestions, I'll be stopping by those places. But even if I strike gold, I'll always size out within the year and have to go on the same adventure all over again. So I understand women in the same boat settling for whatever comes close enough to get the basic job done; a little smush is tolerable to save time and frustration.

I always buy based on cup size, with a pretty large band, fit the band how I want it, pin it there, and then just fold the band in on itself and stitch it together. It saves me enough time and money to be worth it so far.

SA

I resort to that sometimes, that or knotting the band together, though it hurts the longevity of the bra stretching the hell out of it to get it on. But yeah, it works in a pinch.

You should try going one size down and buying an extender you can hook on, maybe? That might get you a closer band fit without distorting the bra so much. :)

I just googled "bra extender" I had no idea this was a thing! I bet this will help me get more life out of the elasticity in my bras. Thank you so much anon!
