My bras have been digging into my shoulders lately so i decided to measure myself my band is a 38 1/2 and my bust is a 47...what size bra should i be wearing?

Go for fitting: Most nice stores will offer a fitting for you. I have been told by many patients that this is the most effective way to find the right fit.

Bra specialist: You need to go to a store that has certified bra fitters. Based on the sizes above, an average store (like victoria's secret) will not meet your needs. Try a larger department store or a bra store. If your size is a concern, you may be a candidate for a breast reduction, which is performed by a plastic surgeon and usually covered by insurance.
