The grave despair of the week

I even did my measurements and since im old but don't rly have shapes I'm an xss/xs in bust and s-m i underbust and the only store that I know sells this size which is like 75AA or something (pls correct me if wrong) is expensive af + import taxes so it's like unaffordable long term and i also must want see through lace lingerie which ofc is not too much of an issue when they are nature themed but ye can't afford. And obvi i cant wear that around friends and fam. I would be privately embarrassed.

And i don't want them in synthetics (approved for lace ofc bc lace is lace and i like lace) if they are like full cover, and I do bralettes bc bras make my body hurt and i never found my size there.. Probably bc i don't have an actual size and should join the free the nipples movement. I even tried that expensive brand but ye their elastic was so bad I got backpains (probably my fault for getting the band size a number too small but u live and learn) but the bigger issue was that the cup was too much too the side so it's like #exposed if i moved at all.

Help me
I only have three bralettes that I actually use and two are from cubus (same style from some 2018 sale) and the white is not white anymore its so dirty it can't be reassured to white. And the last gives me body pains now ans then so i cant wear it too long.
Ps I love pretty lingerie and this will be a hill to die on

You can try some at the store like A cups or smth, should be ok to find I think. If I measure myself I gte measured a 75B but the bras I have that fit are 75D, I had one in B but its way too small

Also usually if u find some elastic ones in a small size, they should be fine for most small/middle sized boobs, I think I usually use small but my boobs r too big so I size up, but I think it can look/feel more forgiving if your boobs are too small for something rather than too big

So I have to order from this seller, who gets my size perfectly even with different brands. This lady saved my life, never have I ever had bras as comfy as the ones I own now. Expensive? Yes, but there is no pain and I forget I even have a bra on.

I do recommend getting fitted to the correct size, it's game changing (for everyone I know at least).
But recommendations for bralettes...have none, since I definitely can't wear those myself.
Hope you find some good ones!

Griveance I

NetteRose.com
(within EU, go via troo.ch in germany if you want reduced taxes)
They have literally any size bc they are made-to-order.
I tried this one where I fucked up the top sizing so it's too small. Their elastics is strong af. Not good for my body who's sensitive af to tension like that. Also, most see through so like.. cute but can't wear everywhere.
However, import taxes... literally count in a + 50% on the price to be realistic. I think I bough a set and paid 600NOK in taxes additionally which is absolutely absurd.

Griveance II

Underprotection.dk

Literally within scandinavia which is a rarety. I love their Luna bralettes in the colors, but yeah I'm a size xs + m so it isn't even any use getting anything. THEY HAVE RLY GOOD PRICES ON SALE THO. IF YOU WAIT LONG ENOUGH.

Grivance III

Anekdot
yeah sizing + pricing just being not for me the same as above. made from leftover materials.
my current grivance

I probably have more grivances but they gotta be tbd

I used to get 70A because well I guess we all assumed I would grow into them bc I was still young but fate didn't want that. The first bra I had in that size actually fit tho, but then I got the exact same two years later in the same size and the fit was not the same. and yeah, it sorta became my end for bras bc they were like not doing shit and just straining my back.

but most bralettes doesn't even have cup sizes, they are just (X)S-L.
I sorta want 1 (singular) bra that fits well beneath tees bc that's a nice vibe but otherwise I probably am commited to bralettes at this point like it is what it is bras are a waste of money on me I think

idk what's more forgiving tbh. I either just end up swimming in fabric or getting my ribs squeezed, which is not working. at this point I'm sorta just wearing thight tops (but not too tight bc that hurt). I have a top from BikBok Her body line which is a bit too thick tbh but works when I wear crewnecks and such and a bit thinner one from Etsy, which I also use to yoga. Actually, I double most my bras as yoga bras because the actual yoga bras I have have just too much material (thickness) and support it literally just ew my body hurting.

I'm rly serious when I talk about being sensitive af to tension. It's some anxiety hypersensitivity shit. It gets better when my anxiety is better and worse when it is worse and such. so i normally size up to a small in tops to have some comfy space -- and sometimes even that hurt and i just gotta like just wear a regular tee.

so yeah i don't rly need much support in my everyday life but obvi a bit for if I run or jump.
