What bra size should I try next?
The right next test depends on which part of the current bra is wrong. Change as few variables as possible.
Band too loose, cups otherwise good
If the bra is not worn out, test one band step smaller and compensate one cup step larger to preserve approximate cup volume.
Band too tight, cups otherwise good
Do the band-only test first. If the band remains tight without the cups involved, test one band step larger and compensate one cup step smaller.
Band fits, cups spill
Keep the band and test one cup-volume step larger first—unless the wire is already clearly too wide, which can signal a shape mismatch rather than a simple size shortage.
Band fits, cups gap
If the cup is empty through most of its volume, test one step smaller. If only the upper edge gaps while the lower cup is filled, compare a shorter or differently shaped cup before downsizing.
What to do next
Use Bra Fit Rescue with the bra you have already tried. The tool combines band, cup, wire, center, strap, wear, and asymmetry signals rather than treating one symptom in isolation.

Used a bra size calculator and the recommended size still does not fit? Diagnose band, cup volume, wire, and shape before guessing again.

A bra band that rides up is usually too loose, but stretched elastic, tight straps, and cup imbalance can imitate the same problem.

Top-only cup gaping does not always mean the cup is too large. Compare lower-cup fill, cup height, neckline shape, and strap placement first.
