For 10+ years I have been wearing 34A/36AA as I never thought I had much breasts. I was recently professionally fitted on 2 occasions, and told that my size was 32D/30E. My measurements are: under bust: 29" bust: 34.5"/36"(bending) breast perimeter: 7.5" I easily fill 32D cups when I do the "scoop and swoop" properly, but if you look at the attached pics, it does not look that I could ever have that much breast tissue. How can I get the tissue to remain in place (=better shape) w/o a bra on?
